Your looking at about 350-370 rwkw from what I have read - depending on boost / tune etc.

Some people get cams, not necessary but may be something to think of when doing it all at once.

Happy with 300 at the moment. Got to get used to it :thumbsup:

When engine needs rebuild then re-tune for 400 with fuel pump etc.

You will get use to it very quickly, thats whats funny about GTRs because of the 4 wheel drive it will grip and just go, whereas if you have 300rwkw on a RWD car on street tyres and go to say 400rwkw.. it wont feel that much quicker simply just spin the wheels more than it did before :P

Be careful though, moreso in the wet - GTRs can still get VERY sideways.

Do the 33 Moh...much more reliable and an all round better built car. When you drive both side by side you'll see that. It's like when I drove a 34 after driving my 33...the difference in build is quite noticeable. Newer cars are almost always better in terms of an overall package.

As for looks...well yeah that's totally subjective, but there's a reason R33 are so common...whether the R32 fanbois like to admit it or not, they are received as a good looking car. I get the feeling a lot of people hate them purely because they are so common.

The R32 may LOOK better to some, as this is very subjective but no denying the R33 is the better car. And the 32 Interior is aids duno anyone who prefers it over R33 interior.

Excited to get my car back tonight after tune (status).. base dyno run was 238rwkw so only 5 off the racepace dyno so pretty much spot on when you take into account temp / baro preasure etc. I'll be happy to see anything over 260rwkw anything over would be a bonus for me, hopefully a lot more power early in the rev range as well.

only 32grts look better.

only 32grts look better.

I WAS going to get a 32 GTR.. but realized whats the point for the same price you can get a car up to 9 years newer and like I said the interior is AIDS! Very hard to find a clean 32 these days as well.

Hmmm it isn't that serious Atm so something that isn't all like omfg I love you would be pretty nice.

don't get her anything? just leave the toilet seat down as a thank you the next morning.

Too laggy for a street car.

They are utterly useless below 150km/h, -9s are faster to 150 - I can promise you that.

You also notice the lag in/out of gears massively.

Its now a case of pushing really hard up through Kinglake etc as there is so much lag coming outta corners.

stock dumps will be ok as well.

i had stock R33 GTR dumps, made 340rwkw outta -9s on a full build.

spent $600 on tomei when i put on -5s... all that changed was the exhaust note.

power/result was the same as other -5 equipped cars with factory dumps.

need 3.5" exhaust @ a min though, and big front pipes

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
