aw/rw = same shit anyway.

Not really but to certain extend yes.

There's someone I know of in Brisbane that dyno-ed his 32 GTR on rwd and awd mode the same day on the same dyno. The difference in reading is around 10kW. But the difference isnt THAT great and definately not worth the extra money for awd dyno tuning.

Thats prob why Racepace (Working on mostly GTRs) have only a rwd dyno instead of awd...makes sense...i always wondered why dont they have a awd dyno when all the GTRs are 4wd...

10kw is the same shit to me :P

Its been proven by a number of people with over 400rwkw/awkw that any differences are so negligebile its not worth splitting hairs over.

This is with a factory transfer case etc.

With a modified transfer case, its a different story but most punters are not in that category

Hi Guys,

Wanted to know that how much kW can you get on standard turbo and engine, but with below mods :

- Exhaust (Highflow)

- PowerFC

- Cam Gears

- Bleed Valve

Any idea anyone??? Car is GTR33....

Got 264.6rwkW after the above mods!!!!!

very impressed......

RPM cam gears supplied by racepace....

14psi boost and chris from racepace tuned it.....

nice....did the cam gears make much different? i am thinking of getting them too...but not sure of their exact use on the car yet...still due to researching that...lol

it makes difference.....

car accelerates and takes off faster than usual......

surely you have to get it dialed in once you fit it.....

ask chris at racepace....he'll let you know.....

thought it did make difference in response....but when i am rebuilding my engine to hold more power ill be putting the HKS variable cam in which come with cam gears too i think...so thats when i am planning to put them in...but still need to look around for the best combo i can use to make my baby "fly"...lol.. :P

You do know that HKS V-Cam is $5000 on its own, just for the variable timing.

Thats not including the 8-10k for the rebuild and all the rest :woot:

HAHAHA!!! YUP :P itll be done one day...if i get hands on a blown up RB engine to practise on..i might do it myself with my machanics guidance otherwise i am planning to spend around the 20k mark on the engine for my car to pull SAFE 400+awkw...might even make it a bigger block..but will do as my machanic instructs...then work on suspension and make is a nice quick track car..(my dream) :P

There was a test done with VCAM on/off lap times, didnt make much of a difference. But the test car already put out 650HP irregardless, so i guess the argument to have one is marginal

Yes i did watch that video when i was researching about the combo of mods i should do on the car...but the guy who tested it and the comparision video did show a VERY quick response time and the engine was able to rev much quickly with the Vcam on...thats why i am PLANNING to get that done too...but its still in the planning mode...when the time comes for me to do it, new things might arrive that might interest me...lol..

Try it on a different Dyno and you might get the same result, i wouldn't worry about that 20 odd kw differ.

+1...all dyno does give out different readings..so gives more others give less...if the difference is around 20 kw...its more likely both the cars are pretty equal in power...

and peak rwkw is a single figure at any one time

it hardly explains the cars acceleration and how it performs on the street

if johnny where you said it makes 232rwkw and the other makes 264kw

it could be dyno differences, how it is strapped down, air temp correction etc

as long as it feels quicker on the street its all good

the only comparison that is useful is your same car on the same dyno each time

when you do mods, you check before and after, as long as the power goes up, all good

its only if you add mods and get no gain then you need to check it

id perfer to make less rwkw (vs higher for bragging rights) and have quicker times

:) +1...spot on...numbers mean nothing as long as you can get the times better...and its only 20 odd kw diff...so nothing really to stress about...

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
