Hey All,

I'm Gibbon138 but will answer to Gibbo, Gibbon, Gibbs or on occasion Jake.

I've been into rotaries for years but due to moving into an apartment and losing my garage i've gotten myself an R33 GTS25T S1 (slightly more reliable than the rotaries and way more fuel efficient)

So far the R33 has: 3.5" turbo back exhaust, pod filter, (unknown brand)piggyback ecu, and a massive terrible atmo' venting bov (yes i am getting rid of it, thanks for asking)

So this is Hi.

See you around, or out on the streets.

Cheers

Gibbon138

I'll get the minister for war and finance to lend me her camera so I can get some decent snaps, plans at this point are:

1. plumbed back BOV

2. return flow intercooler

3. airbox for the pod

4. turbo timer, defi boost+oil pressure+water temp guages

5. boost controller + wind boost out to 10psi

6. refinish the wheels (a fair bit of gutter rash on there)

7. 400r (knockoff) bodykit

8. exedy pillow button clutch

9. tien coilovers

10. project mu brakes

and we'll see how we go from there.

I'll attempt to get those snaps this week between work, more likely end up being the weekend though as i'm a night shift worker...

Cheers

Yeah thanks man,

The wife is pretty good with most things (it was her that told me to get my R1)

but her camera is another question entirely.

In the big scheme of things I'm hoping for 200rwkw on the stock turbo.

If I have to upgrade the fuel system etc on the way I will but that's more of a "by the way" thing than a

"Ooo ooo New fuel pump" thing.

Once I get sick of 200kw though; further mods are anyone's guess

Cheers

G

For!

Love the look of it mate good work.

Mine will be full matte black with matte black rims in the next few months :yes:

Ha, good stuff man, I look forward to seeing it.

sweet, only looks good if the thing is tuckin a bit of rim, otherwise looks odd. matte black ftw!

There are a few more things than that missing but I agree she does sit a bit high at the mo'

    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
    • I'm interested,do you still have it?
