Thanks!

Yep, it had P's on it

You work at Rue bar or something?

I remember seeing a Black 33 with a GTR wing in their carpark there

Yeah that was me, working at ivanhoe hotel atm. what tint are your windows (guessing darkest legal) cause im considering getting mine done and yours seem pretty nice shade.

yeah it goes alright

You sure it's just ALRIGHT? :D

Well done on the purchase dude. Ben is one of the most fussy pricks I know when it came to keeping that car clean... it's in top condition. The hks ssqv BOV is most annoying :banana:

Matt you know you want that BOV... :(

Tharaka that looks awesome, nice purchase buddy!!!

Hope to see you and the car soon.

So is it a "hiflow VG30" or a "hiflow RB25 with a VG30 ext housing"?

My old turbo (RB25 with a VG30 ext housing) has been fitted to an R34, with an untouched std engine, for the last 2 years. It's making about 273rwkw on 15psi, without any issues, and this guy uses all it's ponies :O. More boost didn't see substantial increases, so 270rwkw is about it's limit.

It is a VG30 Hi Flow. :O

On 15 psi, it hits 250rwkw.

Lolz...its ben's car...congrats mate...that has got to be the luckiest R34 around as it had the pissiest and weakest owner before you...i've never seen a car which had an easier life...ben did not do the car justice and it took the rest of us to bring out the car's best...but seriously...great buy...now whack the boost up on that sucker...

Well said. Never did do the car justice. I can't drive, didn't push it to it's best.

Before you 'whack' the boost up, make sure the tune is up for it.

Been in that car... lovely piece of work! From what I heard you got a bargain too... with all the other goodies he threw in. Enjoy. Dont lose your licence again.

Hmmmm when did u get into that car?

Yeah that was me, working at ivanhoe hotel atm. what tint are your windows (guessing darkest legal) cause im considering getting mine done and yours seem pretty nice shade.

Yes it is the darkest legal tint. ALMOST illegal. :D

It is a VG30 Hi Flow. >_<

On 15 psi, it hits 250rwkw.

Oh, why didn't you go hi-flow rb25(neo) turbo? Would have made more power again, as the VG30 turbo has a smaller compressor cover/wheel.

I don't believe this turbo will be capable of much more than 250kw, due to comp wheel/cover sizing:

"240@12psi"

"250@15psi"

- 3psi increase for 10kw, indicates that turbo is passing it's efficiency level.

Don't get me wrong 240rwkw is awesome, but i wouldn't stress the engine more, by increasing boost, just for 10rwkw.

No but I did, several times, when I drove Ben's car. hahaha :D The stock brakes did feel a little soft, but overall a lovely car to drive.

LOL!!! SEVERAL times?? didn't remember you did that SEVERAL times >_<

Yeah i never took it past 3,000 rpms :banana:. Dave you're spot on :w00t:

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
