Is it true can you get a 40kw gain from a 1300$ Nismo tune? I have asked the producer of the video and he said that when he brought it in, it was dyno'd at 93RWKW at when they finished it was dyno'd at 147 RWKW.

It seems to be one of those too good to be true videos, others opinions?

May as well just buy a proper ECU for that price. That way if you decide to turbo your car later on or change something major you have a tuneable ECU and can get the most out of it

It seems a bit to good to be true having that much jump, but I dont know anything about it so cant say that its defenitely to good to be true

No such thing as a "nismo tune". They're using nistune in that video and that R33 IS NOT STOCK. It has big cams and camgears dialled in for maximum power, good luck trying to replicate those results ;)

^ +1 thing isn't stock, probably a very healthy motor as well.

this is from the comments of the clip:

Amazing results with a nistuned Z32 computer modified to run the R33, this cheap alternative is conducted in house and retails for $1300 fitted and tuned,

as the R33 computer is not a chippable board. the first run is standard setting with aftermarket exhaust 96.3 kw, then after a nistune chip and tune 121.5 kw!

then a set of camshafts and a nice set ENVY Dyno vernier cam gears inlet and exhaust doing away with the variable valve timing showed amazing improvements @ 147 kw!

thats almost the power of the turbo engine kids!!

So they removed the variable valve timing that helps with mid range power (what you use for the street) to get that extra amazing few kws up top which wont feel like much.

in the end, you will pay equal or more for that then for a standard turbo motor.

even the 25kw or so gain just from the nistune is somewhat questionable. the 121kw or whatever it was (too lazy to scroll up) seems roughly right for a tuned power output, but the 96kw original power run seems somewhere between 5 to 15kw too low.

I've seen this vid aswell. As dragger said the cars not stock (big cams, cam gears, exhaust (assuming extractors :P) just that stuff alone will set you back over 2000 for parts and fitting. plus the tune ontological your looking at around 3500 grand to get the 40ish killerwasp gain.

for that kind of money you could almost buy and install a standard det which would make more power. also if your on your ps cams ect make the car illegal anyway lol.

the dunk results could be true, but for the gains not overly worth it :)

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
