Hey guys & girls,

Well it all started 5 years ago when I bought my first R33 Gtst. The mod bug bit and till today it hasnt stopped.

I had initially wanted to build a R33 RB26DETT RWD project but scrapped the idea of RWD and bought a R33 GTR with a blown motor instead. Here are a few pics from when I first bought the car in 08. It was pretty clean, only had a tiny bit of rust in the bay, 67,000kms, and generally was well looked after by its previous owner (Andrew who is a member on here).

I already had a motor which was rebuilt and prep'd by Red R Racing from the RWD project. Paul's advise, knowledge, experience and time was greatly appreciated!

Motor specs are:

Bottom end:

RIPS 9ltr baffled sump

Greddy Oil pump

N1 Water pump

CP pistons and rings

Eagle H beam rods with ARP rod bolts

ACL rod and main bearings calico coated

TRUST Greddy Strengthened Crank Cap

All balanced and blue printed

Head was fully rebuilt and serviced:

RIPS ITB custom intake plenum

Tomei Bronze Valve guides

Greddy Valve springs

Tomei Solid Valve Lifters

Titanium Valve Retainers

TRUST Greddy Strengthened Cam Cap

Trust Greddy Strengthened Head Bolts

Greddy cams 256 duration inlet 9.1 lift, 264 duration exhaust 9.1 lift

Greddy adjustable cam gears

HKS Valve Stem Seals

Tomei Gasket Combination Set with 1.2mm metal head gasket

Tomei oil restrictor

Hot side:

6boost low mount manifolds ceramic coasted

HKS 2530's with braided water lines, standard oil lines etc.

Greddy extended split dump pipes

Modified intake pipes

Custom enclosed airbox by ISL33P (Custom Plenum creations)

Fuel system:

SARD 700cc Fuel Injectors RB26DETT Skyline

SARD Standard FPR

SARD 5ltr surge tank with twin internal Bosch fuel pumps, 044 intank

Greddy 10.5 fuel rail twin entry

Replaced all lines with teflon braided and earls fittings

Other:

Tomei timing belt

ATI balancer

Mines Cam baffles

Cooling Pro 100mm cooler

Greddy 19row oil cooler and relocator

Now the engine build pics..

pistons and rods freshly balanced awaiting assembly

block with new welsh plugs, grouted, bored and strainer plate honed

just about to have a wash and scrub

fully reco'd head...more on it to come...

upside down inlet port...ported

around the right way...a lot of time patience and detail as you can see

exhaust side....its more of a stage 2.5 job than a stage 3

exhaust again looking onto the valve

couple more

highly polished combustion chambers

another of valves installed in freshly milled head deck

block oiled down after clean...ready for lots of good bits to be installed!

Almost done..

Now the work begins on the engine bay! we stripped the bay back till it was almost bare and Louie from Xclusive colours took care of the rest. The bay was smoothed, filled, and a fresh coat of QM1 white was applied. Louie and the boys spent months prep'ing the car on and off! I was extremely happy with the result. Louie even resurfaced the underneath of the car! its a shame he no longer runs XCM..

Heres a few pics, sorry phone camera quality isnt good.

More to come.. in the new year!

Cheers,

Johno

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
