Hey all,

Ive searched through the RB26 modifaction section and have come up with wht i think should be ok for what im after..

But not being that knowlegable the numbers and turbos all mix into each other etc etc lol...

Im just after someone to look over what i have already got and what i am currently searching for and either say yes that would be sutible for what im after or no mayb you should look at this..... etc.

First off i should say my car is a 1995 GTR R33 non-vspec.

What im after is decent response as its 90% a daily driver but still be good enough to shoot down the quater mile (if adel ever gets a bloody strip) in decent times. 11s.

Defiantly want over the 300kws mark but i guess not by to much.

Be able to have a fairly safe tune and still get those two above things.

These are the mods i have currently and dynos at 261kws -

Modifications:

Suspension New blisten Shocks, Lowered King Springs

Work XD9s 18 x 10 +18 with Kumo 275s all round

Kakimoto Catback Exhaust, Just Jap front pipe, high flow cat

700cc SARD injectors

TOMEI cam gears

HKS pods

Custom Cold Air Intake

Trust Intercooler

Nismo Fuel Pump

Power Fc and Controller

Greedy Profec 2 Boost Controller

Twin Plate Clutch

HKS boost gauge

Carbon Wing Blade

And these are the mods i am looking at getting to hopefully finish off my car to get out of it what i listed above -

2860r-5 Turbos

Bosch Z32 AFM's and plugs

Tomei Dump Pipes

any thing else i may need?

Would this set up get what im after?

Any ideas or suggestions?

Any help would be great as i dont want to go ahead and find out ive fallen short.....

cheers

Adam

yep, that will be a good package mate. the only thing I would add would be a nice oil cooler kit (get one that mounts in either the left or right duct in the front bumper, not the ones that mount in front of the radiator).

you could also consider nismo AFMs over the Z32s. no plug mod needed and no mod to your intake set-up either. they are basically a Z32 sensor in a standard casing.

fked if I know for sure, but for just over 300kw you want the smaller ones (I think the -7s). the other ones are more like a 2530 and will give 350-380rwkw and are more laggy.

-7s 300-330rwkw

-5s 360-400rwkw

You can run 11's on the stock turbos, so with -7/R31N1/GT-SS, you'll run 11's without a worry.

And yeah, Nismo AFM's.

Stock dumps are fine from what ive seen.

Im using them (250rwkw @ 12psi) and there are cars over 300rwkw with -7's using them also without issue and no noticeable performance issue.

I wish i had the coin to finish my setup for the full 20psi+ just to show that stock dumps can do it, overlap with a 'dump equipped' car and show there is no difference :)

ahhh cheers for that, ill start to look for -7sand nismo afms then instead. glad i asked now.. looking through the many pages just got a bit confusing for me lol...

and dumps.... i hear what your syaing... lol.... but id hate to find out later i should have had some. and seeing as ill have the turbos off and out i might just add them... lol u know just in case lol

my problem is tho and yes will sound stupid, but im not 100% sure what type to get as i have heard a few not being drop ins. Then you needed them grounded off new shimes etc etc etc

I just didnt want the hassel. But yer wouldnt mind a set

Cams again... debateable (more so than dumps)

IMO a set of cam gears properly dialled in, all you'll need

Yeah, agreed. While the lumpy idle is tough, it's completely unnecessary. There's a black R32 GT-R that I'm reasonably familiar with that runs ~370 RWKW on standard cams.... :(

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
