it would be MUCH cheaper to sell up and buy a 33r that is already modded and midnight purple....

While I agree, and to be honest that was my original intention.

All the ones I looked at (14 over a 3 month period) had far too many cable ties and no proof of purchase to back the claims of all the marvellous modifications the young gentlemen claimed to have made. I was also surprised at the amount of GT-Rs that are only driven to church on sunday by their grandmothers :P

Stage 1 plus injectors, plus pipes, plus -9s, plus sump, plus fuel pump, plus lots of other goodies that seem to cost more than the original car.

Nice! Nice!

What power output you looking for?

Having said that, after looking around at many of the R33 GT-Rs on car sales and going to see them, I am more then happy to spend the money on a reliable build that is done by a shop with a very good reputation.

Chris seemed very professional, and while perhaps higher priced than some builders his shop had a lack of hammers that was of considerable comfort :P

He's one of the best along to charge accordingly.

+ There is more to it then just building the engine as I am sure he has explained to you.

I am after 300-333kw (333 is good for my OCD) at the pretty wheels I will buy for it :)

Yes, Chris was most helpful

From the look/build of most of the young gentlemen one could assume that the local McDonalds car park is as far as their car went :P

That is of course at a gentle speed, and in the afore mentioned car park not revving it to its limit to impress the like minded young ladies that enjoy the company of a man with a ruined motor vehicle :)

That should be easy with -9's and a built engine.

Along with Dale and Luke who help out tremendously.

Yeah, well at least you found one that is to your standard.

Hope all goes well!

There was a young man there who I spoke to, and to my shame for the life of me I cannot remember his name, he was very nice and very helpful.

Well that depends on a few factors, tax returns, the 6 numbers for tattslotto and Chris working out I am his 100,000th customer and building it for free as a promotional event :P hehe

Build will start hopefully in 2 months time.

330... don't bother building it until (if) it pops... an unopened 25 will do that let alone a 26

I would like the peace of mind of reliability and giving the cost involved, I believe that rebuilding suits my requirements best :)

but what he is saying is that you dont have to spend the money until it pops. all the bolts can still be used after you have rebuilt the popped engine. save some kesh!

I understand, money is not an issue, can always make more :)

Now standing next to a broken GT-R on the freeway is an issue :P

It's always worth the thought...

I had a 300+ rwkw RB25 that was leant on for 3 years, which I then replaced for $1000 with another that is still going strong

you can do this 4/5 times before you come close to the cost of a build, and when a built motor lets go, you just blew a LOT of cash.

just food for thought... you can always build later if you decide you need to be in the 400 club

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The HG high flow is excellent, and costs about the $$ you're talking about. But it, and probably every other highflow, uses a diffeent core than the original turo, and the original Hitatchi core is quite long. So, I think it is inevitable that there is likely no such thing as a highflow that just "bolts on" with no other effort required. And the same is likely true for HG's outright replacement "bolt on" turbos (the ATR things). And the same is likely true for anything similar from elsewhere. I have no idea if the cheap Chinese/Taiwanese complete turbos from eBay/Temu/etc are as bolt on as they claim. I mean, they claim the bolt onto the NAs as well as the turbos, and we know that can't be "bolt on". But it wouldn't matter because I'm not buying a $169 4 psi turbo for anything other than a paddock basher.

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
