Hey guys,

I've just bought a 32 GTR >_< and am having issues with power coming on late.

Generally it starts to become pretty hectic at 6000 - 8000 RPM but after doing some forums searches on here and asking around, i have found that this is very late given the turbos i am using (R33 N1)

Car is as follows;

4" Stainless steel exhaust including X-Force turbo dump pipes with HKS front engine pipes

5" HKS Cannon muffler

Splitfire coilpacks

APEXI Power FC

HKS 660cc injectors

HKS Fuel rail kit

Nismo fuel pump

Nismo fuel pressure regulator

Trust 4" intercooler

Trust intercooler piping kit

HKS air filter kits x2

N1 R33 turbos (steel wheels)

Arias pistons

Nismo rings

Eagle rods

Block was torque plate honed for exact clearancing

Nismo oil pump

Crankshaft x-rayed and magnafluxed

Nismo main and big end bearings

tomei 2.0 mm multi plate steel head gasket with oil restrictor kit

ARP head studs

Head fully serviced, valves guides and seats replaced

Light port and polish done as head flows very well from standard

Throttle bodies and inlet plenum port matched perfectly to cylinder head

HKS cams - 265 inlet and 272 exhaust, 10mm lift

Engine has just been run in.

car is making 431hp@17psi hope to make a bit more at some point.

I've been consistantly told that it is my cam selection that is causing this, so i thought i'de ask around on here to see what you guys think.

Cheers, Mitch.

Well your cam choice isn't exactly great - factory would be better with a set of cam gears.

Do you have a graph with boost vs rpm?

R33 N1 turbos are... average. I'm surprised you've chosen them on a motor with a reasonable amount $$ behind it.

They shouldn't be "that" laggy though either way. They should be on around the 4000-4500rpm marker if im recalling results correctly.

They are basically the same response as a HKS 2530 (or Garrett -5), but without the same peak power figures possible which would be around 4000rpm for things to start.

Are the cams dialled in correctly?

What boost control are you using?

Hey R31Nismoid,

Thank's for the speedy reply, unfortunately i don't have a Boost Vs. RPM graph.

The turbos came with the car although i do intend to change them in the future, looking for 400kw (could you suggest some perhaps?)

Currently the car does not have cam gears, and the boost is controlled by a bleed valve;although i do have an early HKS EVC that needs to be set up along with the scramble boost controller.

Cheers, Mitch.

Just hold the turbo wastegates shit - wire them.

If boost comes up earlier, then the drama lies with your boost control plain and simply.

If not then things like cam's/cam gears being dialled in etc would be the next logical thing to inspect

As for 400RWKW - Garrett -5's. PLENTY of info around, please search for the details on them.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
