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.

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

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high?

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
