R33 Gtst, Daily Driver & Track Ready

[Noddy]

R33 GTST

For sale is my recently finished 33. I am upgrading my Race 33 and have rebuilt, inspected and/or serviced all the suspension and drive-line parts before transferring them into this road going shell. This car is perfect for Street and regular sprints. It is also perfect for drifting and registrable in QLD. Other states rules????

The engine

This engine has had 3 years service in the race car with new oil, Penrite SIN 10 every meeting and K&N oil filters for every 2nd meeting. An EMS 8860 computer is used to manage the engine. I have modified the plenulm for better flow, tested on a flow bench. A custom FMIC was made at the same time along with stainless piping. A PWR double pass radiator works fantastically well. Note the 3L sticker on it, it was put on by a friend so that the CAMS scruitneers would call it into question and has been a long standing joke. The engine has been striped, checked thouroughly, any worn parts replaced with new. This a fresh engine, i can talk with you at length on the strip down and freshen of this engine on request. There are plenty of pics etc.

Specs are as follows;

The head has been ported by Paul Gillbert, Gillberts Cylinder heads at Southport on the Gold Coast also with new valves, seats and guides.

Paul had Sure Cam in Sydney make up a pair of cams, 256 deg/ 9mm lift. Adj cam gears are used to set the cams up the specifications provided. The head has been sent back to Gillberts for servicing since being removed from the race car.

Std rods with 0.5mm ACL Forged RACE series pistons have been crack tested, washed and inspected, no ware detected and re-used.

The block has been washed, decked and honed since being taken out of the race car. Cometic .051" headgasket has been used.

Std crank which has been match ground to the mains and big-ends with the first under size ACL RACE series bearings. The crank has had a single key keyway modification eliminating the risk of a 1/2 moon Key from wearing loose.

The turbo and manifold was a HKS combo. The manifold is cast by HKS with a Garrett turbo commissioned by HKS. It was a T300, plain bearing oil cooled model. I had it checked out and was showing signs of distress. A Garrett BB GT3071R has been used to replace it as it has the closest specs to the old turbo. A TO4B front cover was used to match the original.

Old; T300, 52.3mm comp wheel,0.6 A/R, TO4B, 55.2, T78 turbine, 0.64A/R, 4 bolt ext gated.

New; GTBB3071R, 53.1mm comp wheel,0.6 A/R, TO4B, 56.5, T86 turbine, 0.64A/R, 4 bolt ext gated.

Fuel system uses the std in-tank pump to lift to a surge tank. twin 044 pumps supply the GTR inj in a custom rail at both ends. Return is from the center of the rail and uses an eddelbrock reg.

As the engine is still to be run in and tuned with the new turbo, I can't give current power out puts. In the past it has run 300 rwhp on 10 psi.

Gearbox has been rebuilt and serviced regularly by Hart Transmissions Brendale. Stock 5 speed.

R32 GTR diff also rebuilt by Hart Transmissions. The diff runs 4.3;1 gears and runs a higher pre-load tension, about 110lbs I think

Rear axels and hubs also R32GTR.

Suspension;

Tien HR R33 GTR shocks

Springs Front 12kg/mm, Rear 9kg/mm (as best we can measure that is)

Front has a re drilled cradle, modified adj lower control arms, adj caster & cms swaybar.

Rear has a modified cradle, adj camber arms and other adjustments for better traction. We have been constantly playing around with various components and found some good gains in lap times. I will spend a day at our local track with the new owner to go through what we have found works and how changes will affect the cars handling for different disciplines.

Although this drivetrain was in a prepared race shell, lap times are as follows.

Lakeside; 59.8 sec

Morgan Park 2.6km layout; 1.08:6

Gatton(old layout) 36.6 sec

Oakey: 40.1 sec

Noosa Hill: 64.5 sec
