After countless attempts at getting my R33 S2 Gtst to make good power, I am finally there and happy.

It is making 360rwhp and drives like a dream. Prior to this it was making 305rwhp with similar mods. The real difference - the tune (tuner to be exact). Sometimes switching tuners makes all the difference....

Dont want to rain on your parade as this is a huge jump just on tune but was it done on the same dyno in same conditions as this might be a reason for some gain which is not really there?

I am sure that if the car drives in such a way that he has been excited by it, the numbers probably are reflected in driving experience :P

agreed there would be gains just not close to 20% gain... also worried about the placibo effect you know it must be quicker cause the dyno said so...

i am not trying to be rude i just prefer stats that are real in terms of this... example is my car is identical to my brothers as in we are 100% neck and neck every drag/race but he has 28hp more then me... this is not my skill but a different dyno different day.

some tuners are lazy, and just pull a big chuck off the stock timing and smooth out the A/F ratio, sometimes not even touching the Injection map, they just scale the Air Flow Meter which is purely lazy.

I've borrowed a datalogit and fixed parts of my map up, and added more timing after peak torque (using a combination of old dyno graphs).

yeah there is a certain tuner/workshop in Sydney who tunes just like this...it was a mates car so i re-tuned it properly and made heaps of gains in power and response as well as fuel economy...and i cannot tune for sh1t but know enough to get things looking reasonable. Made 450AWKW the next day at Autosalon and won him a trophy...yay :D

this workshop charges big $$ too...pretty piss poor.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Dredgggggeeee time; I have recently finally started driving the car. It sat for so long that the fuel tank gave birth to rust sludge and blocked my lift pump sock and one of my walbro 460's and left grime, rust chunks and muck all through the surge tank and system. I decided to commit and pull the trigger on an oem r32 gtr fuel tank and Frenchys twin 460 / sender / surge tank hanger combo and all new larger lines and fittings etc, also boost doc heater hose kit / new heater core and a heap of other bits and shits like wideband sensor installed in the dump and Syltech iacv + lines and all wired and added to current tune. now having lightly driven it a couple times without issue, I can happily report on the hta3076 in its current tune. still no boost control switched on, 20psi gate springs, car makes 22psi at 3200rpm in 6th gear with 30-50% TPS from cruise at 100kmh. Going by the old graph, this means it should be making 300-325whp at the same numbers above. Very very responsive setup under true road driving loads. all that's left for the build is body loom + PDM, finish the remote aircon setup, install carbon fibre parts and go for full tune and 30psi. the 315 rear tyres are now performing like they're 195's, wheel spin in any gear at almost any rpm, whereas my previous setup hooked up in 3rd no issue, albeit Nt01's back then / RB25 5spd vs (new) old date r888r's Z34 6spd now, + obviously all the support upgrades I listed in the quoted post above. car sits at 1-3psi on cruise at 100kmh, expectations totally exceeded and I'm beyond stoked with all this so far.

      Crank Motorsports Front Axles

      I've also been eyeing their rear axles for my car. I purchased seat mounts from them about 7 years ago and they were hot garbage so I've been a little wary about purchasing them. With that being said, please buy them and get back to us haha.

      Being a manual, we very quickly ordered new R34 gearbox (From Nissan) and remaining parts from Kudos motorsports. Would highly recommend the team there. Ultra helpful and quick to share advice and upgrades. We are in the middle of taking the Auto out (Genuine 94,000/kms) and putting the Manual in this weekend. Part 2 of the build will include likely a Plazaman Intercooler and Plenium, Hks Exhaust with Tomei Dump (ordered).
