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 ?.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
