Just thought i would post some pics of my R33GTR circuit car. I am still in the process of building it but am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Have just got the car running and am running the new engine in at the moment 40klm's so far but still plenty of work to go. Build time so far has been around 18 months. Specs are as follows.

1995 R33GTR non vspec (dont let the sticker fool you)

Interrior: 6 piont roll cage, Cobra suzuka seat, 6 point Willans harness, Seabelt seuade wheel

Suspension: Tien super street coilovers with EDFC, Whiteline front and rear sway bars, Whiteline front camber kit, Tien adjustable castor rods. Hicass will be deleted. This suspension set up will get some attention as soon as the budget permits.

Brakes are currently Brembo F50 front calipers with 355mm rotors on flaoting hats with ferrodo ds3000 pads and standard brembo rears with project mu pads.

Engine: N1 engine block, HKS step 2 2.8lt stroker crank, HKS rods, HKS step 2 2.8lt piston kit (different pin height), full Tomei metal gasket kit inc head gasket,inlet manifold,throttle body,exhaust manifold,turbo & dump pipe,

Head has been mildly ported and fitted with HKS inlet and exhaust cams 264 10.2mm & 272 10.2mm respectivly, Tomei type B valve springs and retainers, Tomei cam stud kit, ARP head stud kit, HKS cam gears, Nismo timing belt.

Hi Octane modified sump with a custom dry sump set up running a peterson 5 satge pump 3 pickups from the sump and on off the back of the head, Peterson 3 gallon oil tank, ARP main stud kit, ACL race series bearings, N1 water pump, Tomei exhaust manifolds, HKS gt2530 turbos, Hks adjustable waste gates,HKS hard piping kit, Tomei 3" dump pipes, Custom front pipe twin 3" into 4", Full 4" exhaust.

Fuel system: standard fuel pump used as a lift pump custom serge tank, Twin Bosch 044 fuel pumps running thru two -6 delivery lines and 1 -6 return line to a HKS fuel rail, Sard 700cc injectors am currently undecided on wich brand of fuel reg i will use either a Magna fuel or Turbo smart

Cooling: ARC 120mm intercooler, ARC swirl pot & Breather tank (not yet fitted), PWR custon radiator cross flow 75mm core with inbuilt water to oil oil cooler.

Drive train: Is currently running a standard 5 spd gearbox with ATS carbon twin plate clutch. This will be swapped for a Getrag 6 spd (R34 gear box) with Ats carbon twin plate clutch a one piece carbon tail shaft as soon as the engine is tuned and will also be looking at fitting a ATS 1.5way front diff as soon as the budget allows.

Electronics: Running the engine in on the standard computer injectors and afm's at the moment will be fitting a Motec M800 ecu as soon as I have enough klm's on the engine with motec boost control. Ruzic engineering (user name mountain runner) series 2 engine monitor, Ruzic engineering Race logger (in beta testing now) and will be looking at fitting a Ruzic engineering 4wd controller once the data logger is fitted so i can maximize my set up.

There is probably a heap of other stuff i have forgotten but as like nearly all race cars it will be constant and ongoing deveolpment. All work on the car apart from the roll cage and exhaust fabrication has been done by myself in my shed out the back without the help of any sponsors so has been a long hard slog and kept me poor but am starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel and is starting to make all the hard work and sacrifice worth it.

Risking I am running filters in all the scavage lines before the pump and also the one in the boot before the tank although the filters that peterson supply will not stop any bearing material going thru the pump if you happen to have a catastophic failure but the pumps are very resilaint and need to have some fairly large size schrapnel go thru them before it will damage them. The filter in the boot before the tank thou if much finer and will catch any bearing material (hence the size of it so as not to impeed flow) should you ever have that problem. I will be doing betwwen 500 and 1000 klm's on the engine before the ecu is fitted and in sees a dyno.

Looking great Daz !!

should be ready to rumble real soon

Will be coming for a trip up to your place this weekend sometime mate will get some k's on the thing and take you up on that drive of the R35 :banana: . The missus has the weekend off and is hasseling me to get up there and suss out your new beast for herself aswell. Will definatly sell her on the idea and get me off the hook for a purchase down the track :P

nice work mate, looks like a clean well thought out setup :P i see you have gone without abs aswell, makes the engine bay look alot cleaner without all the hardlines and unit in the corner.

Makes everything a lot easier to work on as well have been keeping my eye on Mark & Duncans build as well and there is some talk about removing the booster to get a better more consistant pedal feel. So will look into this aswell seems like just a bit of fiddling around to get the right pedal ratio as at this point I am not really considering a pedal box. This may change down the track if a better brake upgrade is done but first i need to finish it and let the bank balance recover :banana:

Great work Darren....if I didn't want my car to still do a blast down a public road this is what I'd be doing to mine :P

Interesting that you are considering putting in an R34 box....speak to Snowman (Andrew) for details but he found out the hard way that the R34 box can be fragile and that the R33 ratios are better for track use....in fact his R34 track car uses R33 running gear now.

No the R34 gearbox strength is fine - I just didn't like the ratio's in the 6 speed. For what I do the 5 speed works better.

Carry on.

very nice mate! Looking good. Will be good to have a run with you at the track when its all ready. Looks like it will shit out some good times too :down:

Hopefully it will do some good times I think the car will be more than capable just not to sure about the driver :google:. Will definatly be heading out to a few top gear and JDM meets once it is finnished. Is it your/your old mans car that is getting a rebuild at the moment in another r33 thread ?.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
