Piglet's Rebuild Of His Busted Tomei 2.8

Mid 9. No farken way. It too heavy... I reckon a mid 10 with my rookie piloting skills....

Time for diet.....carbon doors, boot, lexan windows, rip interior out and go on Jenny Craig diet Paul

Stock R33 GTR weight is around 1550KG. Add driver, fuel etc and that will be at around 1700kg. This would equate to mid 10's @130+ MPH going by the calcs. However, I personally think that it will go faster and well into the 130's TS if Paul can get it to launch.

Guess there is only one way to find out, Paul

Time to go practice your GTR launches

Look IMO mid 10's is ridiculously fast for a road car and I would be thrilled with those numbers.

Anything faster than that will create more stress on drive shafts, gearbox, engine longevity (maybe)....in other words, shit will start to break.

Something I would want to avoid and no doubt Paul would too.

Judging by the way I've seen him drive on the road, I think he has launches down pat

It WILL be well into the high 130mph and low 10's

If my RWD boat could do a 11.080 @134 mph a 4WD with the power that his has will love that shit.

How many runs till he gets booted for doing 10's is the real $64,000 question.

I will bet a coffee on the third run, 1st will be a nice easy take off and shake out, 2nd will be with a bit of boost backing off at half track, 3rd will be BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSHBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATSBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Tell me when its on and I will be there with bells on, I will even bring the Ford and race them for coffee and/or donuts.

Disclaimer: In a 150ishkw taxi I will only race for reaction time

Paul whats going on ?? Your knuckles starting to drag along the ground ?? :mrt:

Jeez if you wanted to go dragging I could have got you the 1500HP drag head made up , same specs as the HKS Drag 33 before cams etc.

Harmless plug !!

"If anyone wants one of these heads like Paul or I have send me pm as old mate has quit HKS and is now doing freelance custom engine builds in Japan.

With current exchange rates and ability to pay for everything direct in Japan, now is very affordable time to get something very special made..."

Paul I can delete this if you want just let me know.

[The Bogan]

But how will a 1500hp car go doing cruises, hill climbs, circuit days, TEXI and such.<br /><br />Pauls car should/will be a excellent all-rounder.<br /><br />And unlike the other 95% of big power Skylines out there I dare say it will be used in anger on the black stuff, and I don't mean boosting on the public roads.

[copycutter]

What rear diff are you going to run? A queef one like the front one?

Lol, that's what I said to him!

I agree with u 100% with regards to longevity. I had a friend build a JUN rb26 and that required a routine pulldown and rebuild every 5000km...that is nuts (belted out 650kw)

Thats my point !!

I got the head done for Paul in Japan specifically for the power and response he wanted , then throw in yavuz's bit of magic , when he gets it to the track thats where the animal will perform.

1500hp head is pure drag head only.

There's a spec 2 version of Pauls head which can be built but is purely for track car as would be a pig in traffic as a daily.

Haha. Nah Marcus, it's all good

I was looking at the Quiafe rear (which has JUST been released for GTR's only in the last 2-3 months) but I decided to go the Nismo GT PRO. Thanks Marcus

Is that the one with both the intake and exhaust squish pads removed? I wonder what it would have been like if we left both pads in?!?!

True, but there must be other factors in engine longevity than JUST power alone. Tune is obvious, but I make peak power at 6500. That just means I don't need to rev the guts out of it. Thats lower than the factory peak power of 6800 RPM!

Agree.

However when your at the track 7-8k rpm is going to be really tempting.

Not with so much area under the curve. I found that at Winton just after I went from GT RS's to -5's. 6-6500 RPM and grab the next gear.

Have you got a graph with the torque curve?

No, I forgot to get one tonight. I'll get one this week for you mate.
