so i bought a r33 gtr, prob owned about 30 cars(ish) now, and thought i would have learnt my lesson now with modifying cars :( ,dont do it!

i have the usual mods, exhaust, pod, apexi, cam gears etc, on the car when i bought it, but i wanted the interior/exterior standard (except the lm 400 wheels).......

then the clutch started to slip,

hmmm while the car is getting a new clutch, thought 160ks on the clock, and boosting 1 bar, may just 'wip' of those turbos and maybe go N1s or rebulid old ones etc, run the car at bout 1.2 bar and leave it at that,

everyone (with any brains! :D ) on this forum always say "choose a power figure, and what you want out of the car, and stick with that" excellent advice.... that i didnt listen too

so the garrett 2860-5, oh bigger fuel pump, injectors....sweet,

crap too much power, twin plate hks

but may as well get a profect b, tomei dumps while the turbos are off,

dam tomei dont fit, fabricate dumps, water, oil lines, oh and inlet, on dyno, oops fuel line leaking, fix that

crap, afms maxing out, ZFM's

back on dyno BOV leaking, crap new BOV back on dyno

oh oh, some kinda problem with AFMs, remove and purchase D JETRO to avoid AFM problem

shoot while im there may aswell get a bigger FMIC.....excellent im modifying cars again, dam i love it!!!!!!

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
