haha yeah I will, I did find, i think it was on perfectrun the cusco arms for 480ish..but only had a quick look at the details.

Do you think its worth getting lower arms aswell, I know justjap sell them too :P was thinking I could maybe push the track out a bit more on the front?

If I ever get paid for the last job I did ill take a trip out to kirrawee, and get some new shiny suspesion stuff

Edit: Just looked at justjaps upper arms, I thought they were more expensive than that.

Okay with suspension arms DONT go to overboard

Again stick with the most simple suspension you can get away with.

Untill your driving is above average your not going to notice any small changes and lower arms etc are not going to make you any faster

Get the ussual arm package and nothing more. Save your cash for entry fees and tires.

The more you change from the factory geometry the more chance you have of going backwards real fast.

Its taken ages to get my current GTR quick again after we stuffed around with the geometry a ridiculous ammount.

Have you sourced a cage etc yet??

as far as tracking an r33 gtst goes...

Take everything out of the car. strip it all and dont look back. Cage it, find a spare rubbish dash and cut it up to suit, either keep or sell your good one

suspension wise, sit the thing 80-100mm off the ground and fix the camber at the rear. i wouldn't really bother with any other "adjustable" bits for a while. Just get it aligned properly and practise driving

brakes brakes brakes!! I only ever had standard calipers with dot6 fluid, slotted rotors and braided lines and QFM race pads. I would suggest moving straight to something more serious as there is a lot around these days. This was fine for my sissy driving however, and i was able to outbreak the tyres easily

a good seat and helmet and you will have a fun car. you dont need much power to go very fast

Cheers for the help guys,

Brad, Ive sorted out the cage now just waiting for funds, going to buy my ecu today, then after that will be a seat, then try and hit the track on few club days at wakie after its tuned.

Going to try and do a couple of advanced driver training courses before to long aswell

Oh yeah, forgot to add. I tore the front bar off the car outside hills motorsports yesterday lol.

No major damage doen, just gotta rewire the indicators, the bar is now held on by good old race tape for that true race car look and feel :)

good to see a 33GTSt build, they are so underrated as a track car

cage not so important for now, I would get a seat and harness before a cage... get a good mechanical diff in it, a good brake setup (stock is fine as long as you have decent pads, rotors and fluid)... a reliable oil pressure and oil temp guage will help you save the motor, as will a good, safe tune... an oil cooler is always nice to have too

to be quick you need to be comfortable, have traction, suspension balance and plenty of midrange punch and brakes that you can be confident in... the rest is making it reliable enough to last plenty of laps... I've never been good at the latter

Cheers nick, already got most of the stuff you mentioned apart from the diff, I dont have the budget to allow for fancy stuff like mech diffs yet lol.

a cage is a requirement for MRA so it has to be done.

So far im very happy with my turbo choice, even with a standard ecu it feels very strong through the mid range, Havnt taken it over about 4500rpm and 2-3 psi yet though.

ah okay didn't know the cage was required... it seems I can't read properly;)

yeah took me a long time of single spinning out of slow corners before I had the budget available to do the diff... but once I did it I wished I had done it earlier... it was even a problem when I only had 185rwkw

are the KKK turbos ball bearing? supposed to be good gear but you would be the only person I know of running one on an RB25... interested to see the results... the intake plenum your running has shorter runners than the standard 25 plenum so will move torque up the rev range a bit but should be good for circuit stuff... should be pretty quick when its up and running

car looks good, I like the colour:)

hey,

The turbo is Journal bearing and only oil cooled.

Yeah its the 1st ive heard of one on a 25 aswell, so im also keen to see how it goes, so far it feels better than the old hiflow, but this motor has 9:1 comp comapard to the old one which had 8.5:1, I quite like short runners on any engine, makes them feel snappy and responsive, even if the torque curve doesnt show it. Just personal prefence I guess

The good this with these turbos is that Brand new exhaust housings are less than 400 bucks, so I'll get myself a .9ar housing one day to comapare back to back.

Not sure exactly what the colour is off, its either a 350z or a VZ commodore

what did you decide to do with the cage??

Bonds kit and modify it to suit your requirements??

Im doing heaps of them atm to get guys going.

Yeah Bond half cage with harness bar, then do the front legs to MRA spec closer to next season.

you got it.

he's more trance than hardstyle but you get the idea.

Yeah Ive seen him play a couple of times now :)

I ordered my Emanage Ultimate Yesterday, but unfortunatly couldnt get a plug in harness aswell, so im on the look out for a N-4 Plug in harness for it.

If anyone knows of one in Aus thats a semi reasonable price please let me know.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
