some time in the not to dstant future i hope to perform the following mods to my currently stock r33 (besides zorst and springs) and get the thing doin 11s over the 1/4

garrett gt3040 600hp turbo

trbosmart 45mm waste gate

trust type r bov

100mm thick front mount

1.6mm head gasket

680cc injectors

044 bosch fuel pump

microtech

greedy profec b spec 2 boost controler

apexi air filter

brass button or twin plate clutch

maybe 250 degree cams

nittos

move throttel body to front of plenum

and later on forgies and maybe some slicks

this set up is much the same as the hpi r34 gtt , it runs 11.9 on nittos and has 296rwkw , hopefully my set up will give same or better results. any doos or dnts about my set up, wat do uz think bout it?

Power fc and tune $2000 tops

FMIC $1300 for a 1/2 decent one

Turbo back exhaust $1300

Nitrous kit & instalation $2000 tops with tune plus ongoing cost of filling bottle

$100-$500 for decent rims for 16" tyres if thats what you use

$700-$900 for 16" drag radials

more then likely you should already have exhaust or fmic in which I'd spend the money left from that on camber kit, pineapples etc to help with launch

So easily no more then $8000

Perspectives have changed in more than a few peoples minds lately, hey?!?!? Not just yours Brett, you know the number of pm's and emails i've had? It's just amazing. Like you said, makes ya look at any 33 gtst with a front mount and exhaust a little differently...

Nah Adrian I still think its false power because you can't use it all the time and don't think adding it to a car would add value to the car the way a after market turbo kit would, but if its just a quick fix and fast time you want its the way to go for sure, but as you know I'm a mod person so we'll all have different opinions which is fair enough

Brett

Cost using nitrous for 11's.

Nitrous Kit + fit = less than $2k

Big ass Fuel pump (needs to be big enough to feed the motor and the nitrous kit) = $500

Fuel pressure reg = $200

Pineapples (diff cradle kit) = $100

Drag radials = $700

New ceramic puck clutch plate (if your present one is factory organic) = $500

thats about $4k to do the 11's.

You don't need a fmic or even an aftermarket ecu. A second hand S-afc for $350 will be nice for off the gas but, otherwise not necessary.

Nah Adrian I still think its false power

WTF is false power?

and don't think adding it to a car would add value to the car the way a after market turbo kit would

So? I'm talking about peoples perspectives changing in regards to nitrous use at the drags (i.e quest for 11's). Who gives a sh1t whether it adds value to the car?!?!? That's all I meant.

quick fix and fast time you want its the way to go for sure

That's what he wanted.

but as you know I'm a mod person so

All of a sudden Nitrous isn't a modification?!?! WTF?!?!?

P.S. you're purple glowing name is ghey!

:(

Adrian

buster,

sadly didn't get to take the car to the strip before kangaroo's made me sell a few things to adrian.

I had plenty of fun none the less. From experience I'd say even with the 205's on the back I would have managed a very entertaining mid/low 12. I was running around double the shot of gas adrian was at one stage.

WTF is false power?

Maybe the wrong choice of word on my part, I meant I like my power all the time not JUST when I'm at the drags

That's what he wanted.

where does he state he wants a quick fix?

All of a sudden Nitrous isn't a modification?!?! WTF?!?!?

Once again I meant I like modifications that I gain from every time I drive the car, so I can enjoy the power all the time

So? I'm talking about peoples perspectives changing in regards to nitrous use at the drags (i.e quest for 11's). Who gives a sh1t whether it adds value to the car?!?!? That's all I meant.

I was only giving my perspective as you said

"Perspectives have changed in more than a few peoples minds lately, hey?!?!?"
and I was stating no it hadn't really in my mind as I like an 11 sec car all the time not only some of the time

No use in getting upset though, we can all have different opinions :P

    • There's plenty of OEM steering arms that are bolted on. Not in the same fashion/orientation as that one, to be sure, but still. Examples of what I'm thinking of would use holes like the ones that have the downward facing studs on the GTR uprights (down the bottom end, under the driveshaft opening, near the lower balljoint) and bolt a steering arm on using only 2 bolts that would be somewhat similarly in shear as these you're complainig about. I reckon old Holdens did that, and I've never seen a broken one of those.
    • Let's be honest, most of the people designing parts like the above, aren't engineers. Sometimes they come from disciplines that gives them more qualitative feel for design than quantitive, however, plenty of them have just picked up a license to Fusion and started making things. And that's the honest part about the majority of these guys making parts like that, they don't have huge R&D teams and heaps of time or experience working out the numbers on it. Shit, most smaller teams that do have real engineers still roll with "yeah, it should be okay, and does the job, let's make them and just see"...   The smaller guys like KiwiCNC, aren't the likes of Bosch etc with proper engineering procedures, and oversights, and sign off. As such, it's why they can produce a product to market a lot quicker, but it always comes back to, question it all.   I'm still not a fan of that bolt on piece. Why not just machine it all in one go? With the right design it's possible. The only reason I can see is if they want different heights/length for the tie rod to bolt to. And if they have the cncs themselves,they can easily offer that exact feature, and just machine it all in one go. 
    • The roof is wrapped
    • This is how I last did this when I had a master cylinder fail and introduce air. Bleed before first stage, go oh shit through first stage, bleed at end of first stage, go oh shit through second stage, bleed at end of second stage, go oh shit through third stage, bleed at end of third stage, go oh shit through fourth stage, bleed at lunch, go oh shit through fifth stage, bleed at end of fifth stage, go oh shit through sixth stage....you get the idea. It did come good in the end. My Topdon scan tool can bleed the HY51 and V37, but it doesn't have a consult connector and I don't have an R34 to check that on. I think finding a tool in an Australian workshop other than Nissan that can bleed an R34 will be like rocking horse poo. No way will a generic ODB tool do it.
    • Hmm. Perhaps not the same engineers. The OE Nissan engineers did not forsee a future with spacers pushing the tie rod force application further away from the steering arm and creating that torque. The failures are happening since the advent of those things, and some 30 years after they designed the uprights. So latent casting deficiencies, 30+ yrs of wear and tear, + unexpected usage could quite easily = unforeseen failure. Meanwhile, the engineers who are designing the billet CNC or fabricated uprights are also designing, for the same parts makers, the correction tie rod ends. And they are designing and building these with motorsport (or, at the very least, the meth addled antics of drifters) in mind. So I would hope (in fact, I would expect) that their design work included the offset of that steering force. Doesn't mean that it is not totally valid to ask the question of them, before committing $$.
