Sorry to post in here but DirtGarage can u clear your pm box (ive tried pm'ing you for last 3 days without any luck) as its full or alteast check your pm's regarding the money and pm i sent 10 days ago (14th april)

thanks mate

Brad,

Paul Ruzic tells me your controller has been sent...keep your eyes peeled for it as it should be there by now...if not today. I get him to send them direct to save double handling and as yours was an extra one that had to be assembled it took a little longer than usual.

PM's cleared.

I believe that if the car in question that ran the 8sec pass was running GT2540R turbos that they were would have been hi mounted as the older HKS 2540R was avaialble in a kit that hi mounted the turbos I believe. Can anyone confirm as I am not 100% sure. If this is infact true then Berry's and Pauls records would still stand.

Just seems odd to me that there would be such little knowlage about this car as HKS would definatley want to take credit for this achievment. As we all know most records set by GTR's are usually very well documented. Dirt stick the low mounts back on and give it another crack mate. Would bwe great to see just how far the low mounts could be pushed in a set up maximised for the drag strip.

If this can be confirmed id be in for another crack....the car set-up alone would be far more superior now with 'proper' drag suspension and the dogbox. Its still a heavy car so a bit of weight out of it with all the other additions should see the Berry time fall. Holding the car in 3rd gear from just over 1/2 track to finish to keep the car from exceeding 140MPH is also not required now as we are fabricating a parachute set-up while the car is up here in QLD.

Just to note, the Veilside R32 GTR did the 0-300km in the 13 sec bracket.

as i was reading thru this thread its another car that came to mind which set a record a few yrs back (the gold beast) & he misses 3rd gear if u have seen the clip!

Where do you draw the line ? the HKS drag 33 had its 3540's in low mount guise and was running 7's does that make it the fastest lowmount car? What about RIPS NZ they lowmount big turbos aswell do they count? As for records being well documented that is just not true there are actually a few 7 sec GTR's that not many know about like the Duke 33 and a couple of private cars.

in saying low-mounts...maybe it should be bolt-on turbo's.

that is turbo's that are straight bolt on to factory manifolds dumps etc.

its just the term 'low-mounts' is more commonly used thats all

Nismo 400 R N1...i think you will find the HKS R33 had a bit of both (high and low)...ive been over this car top to bottom here's a couple of shots i took.

Im sure when ppl hear the term 'low mounts' we all think of bolt on's....

I know When i hear The term 'Low mounts' i think of bolt on turbo's regardless if its on the tomei manifolds,hks balancing manifold etc...Just as long as they COULD fit the standard manifolds i think classes them as a low mount candidate...

Paul thanks for those pics....Is it just me or is the front turbo's fans chipped? Or is it just the white mark coming off :) ???

they are badly chipped...japanese 'drag' air filters (read none) have this effect on compressor wheels.

i took quite a few photo's while i had access to the car...even took a few carbon panels off which revealed quite a few interesting things. The only thing they wouldn't permit me to do was fire it up, other than that it was open season.

Im sure i posted a thread on here...ill try and find a link for you.

Yep thats what i think aswell, in the setup before that HKS had the front turbo low mounted and the back one a bit higher, guess this current setup was better with the 1/4 times.

Its a shame they retired the car, Im happy for Reece and all, but this HKS car always epitomized the meaning of Drag GTR to me and always will, i hope they decide to sort out the chassis one day and bring her back out to terrorize the blacktop once again.

While we are at old pics Does anyone have the wallpaper size of the HKS 33 in front of the harbor bridge for the Drag combat event, i lost it when my old pc decided to quit on me

paul - this brings back memories for me back about 6yrs ago, my mate has the security contract for autosalon 'premier protection agency' & i was watching over the hks gtr over night - what a night, kinda like scoring with the hottest chick in a nightclub

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
