This thread has me wanting a cool R33 GTS25t....more pics, more details..+ VIDS :thumbsup:

ahh thanks mate, i went to japan for a few weeks thus why there has been no up dates.

the new aftermarket sump has arrived, it holds 3L or 4 Liters more oil, has a fancy pick up in it and mines baffles.

will get some pictures when i head into mercury next.

its been awhile since ive posted in here, been up north for work and havent be able to drive the car much, basically flew back for power play in qld a few months back to drive it and thats about it. A photo was taken of it lapping round qld raceway on the day and put in the latest powercruise magazine under the mercury motorsport workshop pages. (photo below) im the bottom left of the page.

in the last six months a ASR 8 liter sump was installed (photo below) and some rear suspension modifications where done to take away the anti squating that all standard r33 skylines have, rear control arms were installed and a little but of cutting and rewelding of steel on different angels were done to shift the center of gravity from just infront of the rear wheel to just behind the front wheel.

so the rear suspension dropped round 2 inches under power to aid in traction and a new rear wheel alignment is done with 0 tow and 0.5 positive camber so that when the car squats it put 100% of the tire width down for traction.

great build thread, love it. BUT.....beware the PAR gearsets. Ive been through 7, yes, SEVEN of the gtr gearsets and no, im not an advocate. I wish you all the best, looks like it will be an absolute handfull when its on song!

Cheers, Allan

hay mate, ta for the comments.

what components broke mainly in the gear set? just curious.

dropped the car off today to get the garrett 42gtx (1000hp) turbo put on.

finding the to4z isnt giving the car the punch its needs to keep up with all the big rigs in brisbane on thursday nights.

the head is going away to to have work on it to fit bigger cams.

looking for full boost round 5200rpm and rev to 8200rpm.

will be interesting to see how the gtx turbo goes with boost over 22psi which is were garrett are claiming that the customer sees the big results.

Have you considered any of the billet wheeled T04z sized turbos 6766 or HTA3794? Usable powerband is what wins races.. Like how Fatgtr found out when he ran a properly built 2.6 with lowmount 2530's with his 2.8 and t51.. Lol

Yeah mate of course I consitered it, but what u will find is that thw billet wheels are only an advantage over a so called normal to4z when there on race fuel boost because the wheel doesnt flex over 22psi and it has more blades to pick up air. So a billet wheeled to4z wont give me any advantages on pump which is what im only ever going to use on the street.

The new gtx garrett turbos are a billet wheel btw.

If u have 3000rpm of full boost that is a very useable power band. Not to mention the fast boost thats on all before it. Quick gear changes, short gear ratio from the diff and small diameter wheels all for quick acceleration. It is a 3 liter remember. Torque winz races, not power. Anyway ill let the thread know how it all works out.

Absolutely love this car, saw it years ago in a HPI mag.

Didn't know you were on here.

One of the main inspirations for me to buy my R33 GTST.

Keep up the good work and keep the pics and vids coming!

Yesterday after I posed the last post I took the car for a short drive with the 500kw. After giving it a solid 1st and 2nd hit the 1st injector did an o ring. The mechanics came road side to fix it and also discovered the fuel rail was leaking too. Today they put a hypertune fuel rail in and had it back on the dyno.

Boost up to 35psi and it made 740hp. 550kw. With standard head still. Looking forward to the race head with this boost.

Seems to be alot of boost for that power. What RPM does it hit 33psi?

Im having a HKS T51R KAI installed in the next week or so on my 3L and last night we saw 500awkw at 23psi on my mates GTR.

Ok well my other mates 25/30 GTK 1000 makes 560rwkw at 28psi with a stock head and poncams.

33psi you should be making at least 550rwkw. Is it a small A/R turbo? Small exhaust?

Seeing as its a GTX42 you should into the 500s quite easily thats all.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
