Hey Scott,

Just had a good read through the whole thread. Your car has definitely come a long way! Good to see you have kept to your original goal the whole time, and are constantly striving to reach it.

Unfortunate that you had some hurdles to jump, but such is being a car enthusiast :D

On a lighter note...

Every time I see that front bar, I blow in my pants.

Awesome job mate! Subbed for updates! :woot:

Thanks Ty,

Im glad people are still getting a good read of this. I enjoy going back every now and then and seeing where its come from. Hard to think this was just a stocker from Japan and my very first car!

I'm glad your enjoying the front bar combo I've put together. Everything sort of just fell into place when I was bored at work one day googling away. Original plan was to keep it all white then iI test fitted it with the black lip and just loved it. Then the R33 sedan lights just top if off.

Credit where it's due my man.

Agreed, the black is fantastic. Goes well with the black drag wing. Those sedan lights look spectacular.. give it a true 'custom, but stock' look.

Still enjoying the 6466?

I may have missed it, but what tyres were you running in the latest vids? She seems to dig deep without much spin at all.

Yeah mate still loving the overall combo I've got going on. Big disappointed with the overall power figure at this stage, but there is a few parts letting it down at the moment so it's alright.

In regards to tyres, I'm currently using Nitto 555's in 275/40/17 with about 12-15psi in them. They aren't the best in truth, I really have to feather it out of second gear otherwise they just bake. Saving for some MT streets

Your engine bay is starting to look like Mat's! Sort that out, get some colour in there! All this matte black is making me depressed :laugh:

Seriously though mate, I love this thing. A 6466 is the turbo I would go for if I was to build my motor and go high mount, so I like the setup.

I'm not going to lie I 100% stole Mat's engine bay look. It's not cheating if your in different states right? Mine will never be as well blacked out as his. I think you either go one way or the other.

I really can't fault the 6466 yet. The main reason I went with it was all the good result people on sau were getting as I first leaned towards the 6262. About a week of thread trawling sorted that out

what power figures were you expecting?

i thought it was decent power

i make touch over 400kw atw on a 6266 with a rb26/30, stock bottom end just poncams

I was aiming for high 600's, horsepower wise. But its a process i guess. There must be certain elements restricting the setup and its just a matter of tinkering and finding the best combo.

What boost are you running through your 6266?

yea fair enough

it made it on 16/17psi lol

the turbo is barely being used!

Tell me about it. Mine is hardly working at 25psi..

Imagine putting another 7psi into yours. I bet you'll net a better return than my 438rwkw or very close to it.

My initial tune made 381kw at 18psi. So yours is already ahead of that and ive got the larger turbo

I think that shows there is something in the setup letting it down

well i made 400 with a china bar and plate at 20psi

then put a shitty old corroded missing fins trust drag cooler on and it made the same power but on 16psi as well as coming on earlier

im not sure if it made full boost any earlier but it sounds like it spools much faster

for a slapper motor it does well!

on the power now it is touch over 90% duty cycle on 1000cc hks injectors which is a bit weird coz ive seen guys make more or with the same injectors

in any case im going 2000cc and putting it back to 20psi and what ever it makes is what ever it makes lol

Im currently running 1000cc injectors as well. First when 2000cc but tuner said they were too tall and made the fuel rail foul on the plazmaman plenum which sits stupidly high on stock runners with a 3L block

Scott, have you thought about sourcing a RB26 head? I figure it'll suck a little bit to lose the VCT, but with properly dialled in cam gears + the better flowing head.. the net result will probably make you smile...

You could probably run big injectors with ease too :D

Just had a read on the MT Street Radial II's ... they look tasty... :woot:

Also watched a video on MT Street's (to suit 15 inch rim) and how they actually wrinkle quite well for a street legal tyre.. amazing stuff

I have thought about the 26 head. my 25 head has had a fair bit of work done to it and i do like that I've still got VCT. I think a 26 head will definitely be something for the future.

MT Streets are definitely the next tyre choice for me. Just some research to be done in regards to the best dimensions to run etc.

Nytsky Dave's car makes 550rwkws with hydraulic lifters, baby cams and a minute amount of work done to the ports.

Something to think about

Also, your R33 is awesome!

Cheers mate! always love getting feedback on the car even if its negative.

Dave's car is awesome.

Seems this build thread has had a revival in the last week or so

there is next to no difference in head flow figures between the 25 and 26 heads

Hmm, fair enough.

I was always under the impression that the 26 head was able to flow more CFM than the 25 (neo or otherwise) head.

Yeah, Dave's car is awesome. Kind of the Usain Bolt of the 25 head world, if you know what I mean. Hydraulic lifters can definitely be used to make big power.. there is no doubting that. Proof is in the pudding.

But from what I understood, it was the maintaining/reliability that became the next issue? From doing a little bit of reading, it seems like the 26 head is still favoured due to port/runner/turn design and the shim/bucket setup... even though the neo head has solid lifters, apparently the shim/bucket setup is not as favourable as the 26 head.

Any thoughts?

    • When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?
    • Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).    
    • Car is on factory injectors/z32 maf/ q45 throttle body/ z32 ecu with nistune 
    • Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov
    • yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
