if someone can work it out ill give them a prize.

a few hints.

old vs new graph. both e85 same turbo. same inlet.

less boost than last time.

just a wrecker bottom end, havn't broken the genuine nissan seal

this post says its a standard bottom end, pistons in the previous pictures of the bottom end look fairly standard and arent dome tops as i would expect in a high comp bottom end build.

no signs of a VCT mod that i can see (your "b-cam" was discussed before)

pictures of the head look to me like it has had a reasonable whack of meat taken off the bottom of it. if the car is running corn juice or race fuel only im thinking even higher than 10:1 11-12?

if thats not it at the moment im not sure what else it could be to give that big of a change

Looks like i'm going to put a bigger oil pump on. The head sounds like a box of hammers again, seems the restictor is too small for a hydro head. I've been told more oil pressure should fix it

You are all wrong. Us loyal to the RB20 know that if you have problems with the RB20 in your car....and you chose to replace it with another wrecker RB20....the Nissan gods ensure that the motor you get from a wrecker for $400 is special and will outperform the original engine. Its a proven formula. You stay loyal to the RB20....then there is an engine in a wrecker waiting for a new dad and the opportunity to give its all for its faithful owner.

ha you did you home work.

we initaly asumed that the rb20de with a comp ratio of 10.2:1 was all in the bottom end. but its all in the head. the pic of the head has had no major machining just a quick plane.

one of the local circuit guys has just had a det head machined to the equivilent to bens, while it has been readdembled it hasent been ran yet. so there seems to be no problems shaving a bit of the heads.

Yeh the RS500 manifold comes with ability to run 8 injectors and also runs a different elbow between plenum and throttle body. I am trying to hunt down the throttle body and elbow for mine now but cheapest I can find is $9-- :(

Where are you sourcing gears for the oil pump?

    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
