Cheers,

I asked the guy before they put it in and said it was good for over 300kw and my car is making 293kw ??? thanks for that

Yeah but for how long?

My car has one of those clutches. It's pretty much garbage compared to a decent twin plate.

Also what RPM should you launch an r33 gtr at to be on the safe side???

"Safe side" (assuming you mean from the mechanical sympathy point of view) and 10s 1/4 times are contradiction in terms. With the power you have a 10s is possible only with good tyres and a very hard launch.

I need to launch at ~6k to prevent bogging down, but this obviously takes it's toll on the drivetrain over time. Clutch failure is the most obvious liklihood, but gearbox failures also aren't unknown (particularly with a hard change into 3rd).

I didnt think 300rwkw was enough to do a 10 in an r33?

Same here....

the hardware sounds up to it but it seems as if you need a better tune to free up some power, or maybe the 293kw run was done at 12psi or so :P

well you lose more power with the all wheel drive and the gts-t is lighter but its no good if you dont get the power to the ground. but im not going to say anything because i dont know for sure. Thats why i asked, i would like to know. theres not alot of GTR where i live.

ok sorry about being a little short, but there have been a lot of stupid questions lately, and sometimes innocent ones get put in the same basket.

awkws are better, because if you disengaged the fronts on a R32 GTR with 300awkw you'd end up with 320rwkw - 330rwkw.

BUT you'd also lose 35% of your traction.

You have the hardware, simply get someone that can tune and crank her up to 350awkw and run some 10's :P

If it helps, with 280kw @ all four, I run a 11.8 @ 117mph in my R33 GTR.

I've now got 318kw @ all four and am running next Wednesday. I'll let you know how I go, I reckon 11.5-11.6 :D

I reckon you'll need 350kw @ all four to run a 10 in a R33 GTR... minimum :P

What boost are you running?

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
