Good afternoon Benjamin,

I have reason to believe you may have taken ownership of an R33 GT-R recently and, perhaps more importantly, this car may be of a higher specification than many others. 

Would you be so kind as to share some images and details of the car in question such that we may all enjoy its beauty and outstanding quality? 

Cordially yours, 

Dan.

This week we are working on the nightmare of mounting the EFR. There is NO room in an S15 engine bay.

To anyone reading thinking of using any bigger than dual 38mm gates on an SR, don't!!! You will end up panelbeating your car to make it work. Thankfully, we have millimetres to spare and don't have to do that.

The wastegates are in the way of the turbo drain adapter, so this will be sorted with an Aeroflow 8 orb to 10an swivel adapter arriving this week. Speedflow wastegate fittings are ordered so we can plan our route to the MAC valve, and after that finish the remainder of fabrication in the engine bay. The next hurdle will be the NASA fuel system which will take a LOT of hours to sort out  : | .

Looking forward to refitting the interior, front bumper and taking it to the tuner.....

It's amazing how as a build progresses there are unexpected changes, especially upon the realisation that modern day tech from other countries is light years ahead of a 'japanese nostalgia build'. The car wouldn't be where it's at if it wasn't for the intervention of Piggaz & Mick_o, the most expensive BBQ I've ever had as the build went in the complete opposite direction.

Progress on the S15 continues, just received these photos.

Remainder of work requires mounting the catch can and then it'll be 100% ready for fuel system, wiring & ECU.

The oil drain was next to impossible to fit and had to be machined on an angle with special fittings. The 6boost manifold sits it in a spot with NO ROOM. If I had my time again, I'd pay the extra and run a Hypertune manifold seriously.

Dual map sensor provisions welded on. Intake pipe fab complete & the air filter/catch can will be fully enclosed. A lot of work went into the power steering reservoir & -10AN catch can. The underside was rolled in two planes to the shape of the strut tower, & it also features a pretty complex internal baffle arrangement, a provision has been made to run push lock hose for when I need to drain the can.

4 port mac valve is all hooked up with teflon line goodness.

So in the meantime I'll refit the interior, front bumper & bonnet, & fit superclamps to the intercooler piping.

The next few months will be slog to restore my bank balance so I can spend on a TRP fuel system & Insight ECU package. After that, the likelihood of me spending money on cars, unless something is broken, is close to zero.

Also, I am not looking forward to trying to get my engine and all the shit into my bay either, this is stressing me out looking at the clearances lol

 

 

Since the EFR plan came to fruition, over 140 man hours & counting.......

Dan if you haven’t bought your manifold already I think a hypertune manifold will give you more room for plumbing...

No I haven't yet, thanks for the heads up. Was yours 6boost? 

 

Yes 6boost. Not to mention the EGT on the first runner was installed at the wrong angle hitting the cylinder head, and that took them 3 months to fix rather than sending me a new manifold. The 6boost manifold I had for the 3071R...I just got a message from the bloke I sold it too that the wastegate flange cracked off completely. So I think a Hypertune item is a better path.

Appreciate the insite. 

I have heard mixed things about 6boost these days. 

  • 4 weeks later...

I present to you the EFR7670 Street Drag S15 SPL (formerly the Rising Sun S15 ?).

Very thankful to the mechanic/engine builder who got the car to this stage....the amount of thinking that went into this build was huge, and his work really is flawless with meticulous attention to detail. I can't imagine how much I would of been charged if the car was at any big name Sydney workshop. 

Remainder is interior/bodywork refit, the fuel system, battery relocation cabling, oil catch can push lock drain hose, wiring & ECU.

I'll need to somehow sort a custom cap for the radiator breather tank as the one from Sunline Racing doesn't seal properly.

The size of that turbo has WARP SPEED written all over it ? #TEAMEFR

What power are you expecting from this setup as I've been looking at turbos...

Whatever a reasonable limit is for a stock SR20 bottom end. Don’t forget the gearbox is made from glass so that’s a grenade waiting to explode.

All in it should do somewhere between 400 and 420 kw on E85, on a roller dyno.

Fark, these things are pretty light to

Should be good for some mad skids

    • Just a thought, how come you didn't use a 4D table? So you essentially run 2x fuel and 2x ignition tables, and the table/map switch is handled when there's enough WMI pressure detected. This is mine, but using the flex sensor as the 4th dimension, note the slider at the bottom. Between 0 to 70%, the timing is blended/interpolated , once it goes past 70% ethanol full send
    • Hi guys, after dreaming of owning a JDM legend for 20 years, I got the chance to buy a 1995 R33 GTR.  I live in a small country called the Solomon Islands which is in the pacific. There is no performance car scene here, however 90% of vehicles here are 2nd hand Japanese imports so there is a handful of JDM sports cars here, tucked away.  3 Evo VI’s, 1 180sx turbo, 2 GTO’s, 1 R32 GTR and 2 R33 GTR’s.    Only 1 Evo and a 33 (mine) are active. I’m hoping to set up a club to get these cars back in the road.    I’d known of my GTR for 9 years and always dreamed of owning it. At the start of this year I found it sitting outside a workshop waiting for a respray. It was in pretty bad shape, although running and driving perfectly apart from a big exhaust leak and worn out bushings. My brother in law who is a huge GTR guy came over for a holiday and I took him to see it, he got into my ear and I bought the car 2 weeks later as is.   I’ve had a pretty bad problem with alcohol and weed since 2020 and I really wanted to quit. So I used this as my motivation. I quit everything cold turkey and have been investing all my spare time into restoring this car. It’s honestly been the best experience and has been such a positive impact on my life.  There is no market for these cars here, no parts and no mechanics that can work on them, so if you wanted to sell one it would be pretty impossible unless you found the right buyer. After a bit of negotiating with the previous owner (a good friend) I got the car for $15,000 AUD ($85,000 SBD) which is insane.  I’ve almost finished doing a refresh on the engine, new turbos, spark plugs and split fire coil packs. Also new gaskets and seals, This car had no leaks to begin with, but it’s due now being 30 years old. . Next I’ll be working on the suspension, all new bushings, ball joints, king pins and new coil overs.  Then it will be body work, it has really bad rust in the boot floor, I have purchased a rear beaver cut from my bro which will replace the rusted out one. The car is originally KL0, but was burnt orange when it landed here, then it was resprayed toxic green and then Bayside Blue. I’m probably going to get it redone in Bayside Blue.  I’m super grateful to be able to enjoy this car and couldn’t have done it without my bro Chris from OG-JDM. Looking forward to the future with this car and hoping to get it on the runway at the airport here 😂  cheers fellas 
    • Also, it is just about triangularity. The less angle, the easier it physically is to do. Think of the amount of slip you're getting, as how hard you need to push an object. More slip, equals pushing way harder. Then the ramp is how steep the hill is. The Accel is less slip, which means it takes less pushing (less slip) to get it to be able to push apart. However, the steeper sides on the decell means it will take a lot more pushing (slip) to get it up the ramp.
    • It's the angle of the ramp from the vertical. You're measuring from the horizontal. To convert, take 90* minus your angle reference = Nismo Angle.
    • I agree, thus 45 degree is the *max* force one could apply to it. This is similar to what I've seen in uh... simulations... which allow you to play with diff ramp angles. Anything higher (or lower) than 45 degree would produce less force as 45 is the max... triangley.  I would state the 1 way is 90 degree, at least this is how my brain and other ways of explaining it refer to it. 90 degree also effectively acted completely open. I realise Nismo refer to it not as 90 (or 89) but "1". So I'm not understanding the angle on which these angles are based.
