Well, as i have posted in the transmission forum, i killed the stock gearbox, i went for a par 1-4 S/C syncro box.

This thread is a quick outline of what i got for the money and where i got to down the strip. Car is a low km R33 GT-R V-spec with a really big guy driving it!(Read fatty lol)

1: Par 1-4 S/C sync G/box. $5745

2: 600cc Nismo drop in injectors and nismo upgrade fuel pump (second hand albiet in good working order) $920

3: Vi-Pec Plug in ECU(the one that fits into the stock ecu box, internal 2.5 bar map) $1650

4: Tune (god this was hard to organise in a regional area) $475

5: Hi-Flowed standard Turbochargers( these were only 70k old so i figured rebuild to -5 specs) $1600

6: Adjustable cam gears $499

7: Random spares(ie. vac. hose, gaskets, general consumables) $300

Stockish run(up-pipes and 3.5" exhaust, K&N panel filter) stock boost ect. 12.58

Next up when the box arrives ill start adding power mods and the box and keep you all updated :(

Any suggestions ect please, keep it clean and constructive!! Im all ears, im an ex subaru nutcase so GT-R's are a new field to me!

be interested to know how they work out

Well, the turbo's are off, the box is out and on its way to the builder and my hands look like they have been through a god dam mincer, OHMAGAWD the turbo's are a bitch of a thing to get out, im dreading the installation process something fierce! Now, the Vi-Pec goes in! See u all in an hour or 2! :cool:

just a word of advice with the ### gear sets get that box in there as quick as you can and make shaw it is good i got one of there gear sets in my r33 gtr and it was far from good when i put it back in wouldnt hold gears had heaps of problems getting fixed as it was out of waranty after i got my car back on the road in the end i ended up taking it to another work shop and got it rebuilt to make it right cost me an extra 1000 on top to get right just be careful

Quick update guys. Nismo Fuel pump is in, Injectors are in, did new front brakes and rotors while i was at it (thanks QFM!) new TPS and im currently getting the exhaust manifolds port matched to the head and turbines, there pretty messy from stock. Now, do i do the dumps or are the 33 dumps good enough? Just that the turbo's are off and ill be fracked if i wanna do that again!

Cheers, Allan

Updates!!

Recieved the gearbox today!

Injectors in

Fuel pump in

Vi-Pec in

Cam gears in

Gearbox *shudder* waiting.

Now i have gone a little over budget here guys. After a good hard chat with a few people and forecasting the possibility of future modifications i have decided to buy a new set of -5's. I was told standard turbo's could be modded to -5 specs, but as its been pointed out, rear housings are different. They can be modded to make near similar power as a dash 5 but geez you would be flogging the batshit outta them. The Bill so far!

Gearbox: $5745

Vi-Pec: $1650

Pump and Injectors: $920

Turbochargers: $2450

100k Service kit: $420

TPS: $120

Gasket Kit: $240

Consumables: $300

HKS Dumps: $280

Total so far: $11705.00

Still to come: Tune up, AFM deletion pipes, Intercooler Hard Pipe Kit. It seems 10g just wasnt enough!! If only i didnt have to do a box!

So, at the end of the day, im hoping to get away with approx 13k to get where i want to go. One day ill figure out how to post god dam photos on the intrawebs and ill show you all something you have all seen before, a GTR in pieces!!

People to thank so far: Jim Berry, Andrew Sullivan aka Kudos Motorsports, Dori34, Ray Hall Turbocharging, PAR engineering, Just Jap Racing and my wife who now hates me, baaaaad.

PS> any ideas for AFM deletion pipes?? the cheap way, im pretty handy with steel :P

Cheers, Allan

    • 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/
