if your in sydney

i could possible let u have a feel of mine

im getting my set next week

Should be interesting to see what they have for you, Danny. Are you getting them from Just Jap?

My rears were definitely for a different car. The rear springs dont go high enough and run out of thread and the top alloy plate on the shock has different bolt spacing and sits up too high into the body. I had to use the top plate off the originals

Then I had to make a spacer on the lathe so the bottom fork wouldnt slop around too, was 5 mm too big.

Fronts fitted great, and I could lower them almost to the ground.

200 killa wasps at 14psi....good result considering I was at 17psi to get 199.99kw's!.......must be the intercooler and wheel size making the difference.

Are you using the standard boost controller or an aftermarket one?

I have disconnected the boost solenoid and use a bleed tap in its place, you cant tune for the lower boost at cold so got rid of it, and who doesnt want max boost when warming the car up? :D

I took a pic of the dyno sheets, I will post it soon. It shows 17 psi then dropping to 13 at redline, 14psi at peak power.

And there is definitely a major restriction causing this 200 awkw power limit, probably the standard exhaust manifold and turbine housing. Raising boost flows no more air. So anyone got a set of aftermarket manifolds laying around? :yes:

How do you know raising boost flows no more air? Doubt that the manifold is a problem at this level. Do you have 3in turbo back exhaust? If you have then a good tune should sort out some more power and your tuner should let you know when/if you need more fuel as in afm, injectors and pump (new fpr not necessary if you go for bigger injectors). Do you have any means of tuning it (aftermarket ecu, safc, sitc etc)? If not I guess you will eagerly waiting the results of the people trying to remap the standard ecu, which if it succeeds should be the most cost effective.

I know because I was dialing the boost up and not seeing the max output rise. Im not out of fuel yet, 80% injector duty cycle, Cihan was trying to get just over 200 and couldnt. 199.8 was the best he could do. He said the turbo flows no more than that.

Seeing as there isnt a direct bolt on turbo or manifold upgrade around, looks like im stuck doing it myself. :D Just the way I like it.

Danny, I could send you the spacers I made if you still want to go ahead with the BC's

Pressure and flow are two very different things.

Whether it is water or air, the principles are the same.

Trying to push 2L per second of water through a metre long 25mm hose will be at a higher pressure with less water "flowed" than if you tried the same thing with a 50mm hose.

The higher the pressure, the more drag the water/air received from the hose/pipe, which eventually becomes a limiting factor.

Scotty has a 3" straight through turbo back exhaust and an eManage Ultimate, so tunability isn't an issue.

I would doubt the afm/injectors/pump would be limiting factors at 200awkw, but I am just guessing here as I haven't spoken to the tuner.

Maybe the M35 has some kind of electronic restrictor in the ECU that piggybacks cannot get around... sorta like the R35 has in the TMU.

Or maybe it is something much simpler.

The piping on the manifold is... interesting...

The piping on the manifold is... Dodgy

What is it with log manifolds anyway, I thought they went out of fashion in the 60's.

Custom do up? (you wouldn't surprise me, bud)

Saw a Kinchrome engine hoist for $180 the other day.... :D

So you didn't crack 200? WEAK!!

Just kidding. 500nm is nice!

hmm, must've missed the hoist when I was there (too much other shit to look at :D ).

So I guess the next questions is "when"?

Whenever you want bud. Its a completely different car, ditch work and come drive it now... ;)

So what causes the did in power around the 100km/h mark. Is that that at 3500rpm where the cam angle changes?

I took a pic of the dyno sheets, I will post it soon. It shows 17 psi then dropping to 13 at redline, 14psi at peak power.

At 17PSI your's pretty much the same....but a much neater tune....have to admit the only reason I went to 18PSI was to get over 200KW's :D . The is defiantly a restriction in these motors....could be the heads or cams, no? Did you still go with the GT25 build on your turbo?

Custom wheels in a bushed core, I think the rear housing should flow more than that.

I would say its the log manifold and if you were going to make one, you would definitely need a GT-RS with external gate just to fit it all in there. And then you will still be limited by cams, pump and injectors.

I thought the torque readout was meaningless with autos on a dyno. The story I've heard is that unless the dyno is setup with all the correct parameters specific to that car, it cannot measure torque accurately.

Something to do with the fact that the torque converter multiplies torque to the wheels, but the dyno has no way of knowing by how much etc.

I think thats why its measured in Newtons and not the usual Newton meter? Not really sure.

A better way to measure it is the traction test. :D (do I smell rubber?)

    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
    • I also got the same floor mats for a bit of extra bazzaz haha
    • Some more close up pics now that I’m back to working on the car, the loop pile is nice but again haven’t compared it to the other types in person, it’s hard to tell from the pics on the website. View of the hemming on the edges too, it comes in 2 pieces - front and back, honestly very happy with it for anyone on the fence.  Also attached my previous pics from further up as it didn’t let me post them directly before. (Nothing worse than photo bucket pics that aren’t hosted anymore years later)
