Hi Blu32GTR, the injectors will only spike over 80%, only over by 3 or 4 percent. The dual stage boost controller has its standard setting on about 12 psi, and with the launch switch activated the car runs on 19-20 psi. The guys at unique auto sports have set all this up on the dyno and I havent tampered with it, except to turn the boost down a couple of pounds as the days have gotten hotter.

Its just had a new (reconditioned) engine put in under 3k ago, spent over 6 grand and have reciepts for all the work done. reason for replacement engine was incorrect tuning for australian fuel, (modded ecu in Japan) and new tune via power fc is healthy and clean. If price is too much for you I will sell cheaper with standard mags, there is over $15000 worth of extras alone on this car so I think price is reasonable,

Hi again,

the injectors are standard as far as I know, as is the fuel pump. The 265's are michelin sports and they have about 60% life left in them. They are a good tyre though, and I haven't seen any wear since I brought them 3k ago, second hand when I got the mags. the fronts are only 5% worn if that, and have heaps of life left in them. 216 rwkw was made @ top boost, at about 6000rpm. Obviously the pneumatic turbosmart system is inferior to an electronic boost controller and the ebc will net a better power figure and curve when installed and tuned correctly. You can pick up a boost control kit for the powerfc which is excellent and allows boost changes via the hand controller. They are about $450 down here, but they may be a little cheaper up in qld..?

If you look at the dyno sheet it actually made 216rwkw @ only 13psi....which is very impressive, if the turbo could be sorted to hold boost to redline it would probably make and extra 30rwkw....might be as easy as a HKS actuator $150 from greenline.

Nice car, great buy.

Hey BOOSTD your right, I just figured out that I've been looking at the sheet wrong the whole time!! Yeah The car still has lots of potential, may as well go electronic boost controller that should fix the problem, although HKS actuator would help with this setup soon.

yes, boost comes on quick, you gotta be very careful in the wet. I love the response of this turbo. Ive raced a Datto 1600 which had 190 rwkw (and was considerably lighter) but just couldnt get me because boost didnt come on for him until the last 2500 rpm in his rev range. Lag sucks huh? Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what sort of power increase I would get with an extra 7psi up top?

"$23 500 is a lil steep" please keep the comments to pm only and not in the main post. Steep? based off what?

1993 r33 gtst manual for $17000 with 60,000 on the clock +

Apexi bar and plate intercooler $1200

HKS gt2530 ball bearing turbo $2000

exhaust, including wastegate split dump pipe $500

18 inch Chrome DTM's with 265 rubber on the rears $2000 at least

GTR bodykit (front 400r bar, side skirts, GTR wing) $1000

Autometer boost gauge + Tomei air fuel gauge - mounted on dual side pillar pod $500

suspension

Short shift kit $400

Performance 6 puck Clutch $800 at least

HKS turbo timer $150

Apexi powerfc with hand controller $1500

Pioneer mp3 cd player $500

GFB stealth bov $350

HKS pod filter $200

Turbosmart boost controller with rocket launcher switch $300

spare R33 GTR front bar $500

$28,900

and you get all that tuned (which costs a lot too) for $23,500

no i dont know this person, merely pointing out that some people expect to much

still think its steep?

those are very conserative prices and dont include fitting and turing

intercooler supplied and fitted will be around 1600, the turbo would be $2500 fitted (or more)

and it looks as though he is using a Tanabe Racing Medallion muffler. Which arent cheap too..

Yes Tanabe muffler it is. Thanks paul, its nice to have someone point this out besides myself. Pics sent to mike J, but email is full... empty and I'll send you more

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
