ok so Im gonna have a crack at changing the pump myself over the long weekend

This is a good thread for potential GTR owners....buy a GTR, then budget the cost of purchase for onging maintenace/upgrades/surprises. Still beats playing golf for kicks though!

Hope everything is progressing well.....very keen on updates!

cooling sorted yet?

What dumps are you running??

standard dumps

Standard Dumps???

I Cant believe you went to the trouble of changing out turbos, fabricating custom front pipes & exhuast and then left the biggest restricting factor in the system on there...

Not sure if anyone else has suggested but if they are the cast ones...they are only good as paper weights, get a set of the stainless R34 GTR Dumps at a minimum...

Watching this space!!!

Standard R33 GTR dumps are fine for 380+ rwkw, I was told.

[SiR_RB]

But if I was going to all this trouble I would put some 3" bellmouth dumps off the turbos

[usmair]

didnt think to do dumps when front pipes were put on... also didnt have plans for e85 and 350kw+

[usmair]

the car is now back with the tuner

with the following additions:

- OS Giken 3 Gear Set Box

- Koyo radiator

- New water pump

- Gates belt

- New seals

have also given tuner the following:

- ARP studs

- Tomei head gasket

- Tomei cam gears

head is being pulled apart to have springs/valves adjusted.

Hopefully have some good news this time next week!

I made 340rwkw @ 18psi through stock R33 GTR dumps without a problem at all.

Put on Tomei ones when i put on -5s (compared to other -5 setups using stock dumps, same spec built engines/dyno), the only difference... The exhaust note sounded different. So probably not the best $600 I'd ever spent.

thanks for yuor honesty! I actually sold my tomei dump and manifold before even using them, used R34 one and r34 ported manifold instead.
