what did you do to them excatly? id love some pics hahaha the setup looks the same as a r33 one thats why were baffled at the problem

Drilled the plastic factory 90 out and replaced with a speedflow fitting... Have pics but no idea where, found it for another 34 owner the other day but i think it was on FB

I have had no issues maxing an e85 Walbro without drilling or modifying the fuel tank at all.

Well that is a good sign... But i doubt the filter is a restriction as i run the paper type and have no issues!

Hey guys,

This is a neat little club going on here and I've decided I would like to join it!

Need a little advise before I get there though. Obviously number 1 issue for most people is money, so I have 15K to achieve my 300kw dream (including price of car)

I've found an r32 with S1 Rb25 conversion with following mods already on it

Engine:

HKS EVC 3

Nistune ECU

Front Mount I/C with hard piping kit
3" Turbo back exhaust, high flow cat
Walbro 255lph in tank fuel pump

Gearbox:

RB25DET Gearbox
Exedy Heavy Duty Clutch
Custom Tailshaft to suit new gearbox
Standard Differential

Suspension / Handling:
BC BR Coilovers
Cusco Fixed Upper Camber Arms -3 deg
Hardrace adjustable Rear camber arms
Hardrace adjustable Rear traction rods
Rear Adjustable toe arms with Lock bar
Front R34 GTR disk brake upgrade

Price of car is gonna set me back (9-10K based on negotiations and is also the reason for this exercise to see if buying the car is worth it for my goals)

Based on what the car has I think it covers all the odds and ends that aren't directly related to power but is needed anyway, so the rest of my budget can go on go fast bits

With 5/6K left my shopping list to get me to 300kw is:

GT3076r low mount kit - $3200 (could go GTX instead for $200 more...undecided)

Xspurt 1000cc injectors - $775 (same price as 750's, figure why not)

Z32 AFM - $150 - $200

Turbo Smart FPR 800 - $270

Tuning = $1000 (guessing)

Total = $5500

I don't think any of that is over complicated to install myself but have obviously budgeted for professional tuning.

Now...is there any holes in my plan, anything that will have my hopes and dreams come crashing down on me? I have read a good chunk of this thread and based on other results I don't think I would be far off.

I have not purchased or made a final decision on this particular car, so if this combo will not work I will explore other options, so suggestions are welcome

I have been through the rb25 turbo thread and this one so I know there is plenty of info out there, i'm not trying to get someone to do the work for me, but it would be nice to get an outside opinion on my plans to either set my mind a bit more at ease or prevent me from making a mistake.

Thanks!

I wouldn't know... I fell short of the 400 mark by 9 little bastard wasps :P

Why the stainless fuel filter? I run paper filters and they are not a restriction is setup correctly?

Closer than me, sprung an oil leak last dyno day, stopped at 365 due to starting to make too much of a mess :whistling:

Might have to go again, still on 98e10 but should be able to wind some more out of it :D

Perhaps the brand or part number was different, but both times I have seen it on 34's the filter was an issue. Probably just blocked with gunk, but they were changed recently...

At least the tank setup is good for 430 or more kw in the 33 and 34.

I have seen a couple max out, base pressure and boost pressure were pretty close though I think. 40 psi base with 30 psi boost. You could get a bit more out of them by dropping the base pressure a little.

You should see at least 400kw, these maxed at 430 and 450.

Just buy a car with 300rwkw already, if you do buy this car buy a $900 highflow instead, will save you getting defected (you will), and when you are $2k short due to a bunch of things breaking that you didn't expect you will be able to afford them. Just stuff like tyres, random broken stuff, trust me you will get caught out.

Wise words.

Remember 300rwkw is useless without good Diff/clutch/tyres

300rwkw can be quite a handful if the car isn't set up properly.

Trouble is that everyone can have 300 pretty easily on a relatively stock car

Or buy an awd base to begin with if you want traction. ;)

:yes: Once i got my suspension and diff all sorted the car was a lot more fun to drive! And a lot quicker too!

FYP. :P

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
