330kw my standard box died and 450kw killed the second (did a fair few hard launches though I'll give it that!) although it's now been rebuilt with the OS Giken gearset and that held up ok at 450 and has copped a fairly hard time so far.

And you're right, more power = more issues! But if you want to dabble in that world that's what you get! :)

hahaha MOAR POWAH=Future issues... Wait for it all to start... How much you aiming for? Im expecting mine to be close to 300KW and that's ill i really want in a road car haha.

Well over 500kw at the wheels.. :)

300kw is to slow. I had 350awkw and it was not fast enough :)

Doubt i will have many problems as everything is being modified (running gear, gear box etc etc)

Mate down the road has a 580KW 32... I would never want to own that much power hahaha.

I wish you all the best and hope nothing blows up.

yes or no to LAG.

300+ on the streets with minimal lag is sufficient. The acceleration is linear. and yes can get boring the longer the streets you travel are.

450+ add lag but receive kick in the pants acceleration. Track - depending which one? - Drag - Yes

around the windy hills 300+ is fine

IMHO

as said before add more Powah can be costly

my GTR has 330awkws but I may go from -7's to -5's. Haven't decided and Im happy for now :D

Richard your gt-r will transform into a completely diff monster once you go up from -7's to -5's. Huge difference in "pulling power" esp up top.

Hey Sedat :cheers: great to hear from you. Take it all is going well with yours...

You doing the SAU NATS mate?

I beleive you. Just need to take that step. Might take drive in a mates to make my mind up for certain.

I'm fairly sure it's not far away and the -7's will be on my shelf if I ever decide to go back.

:D

R33 Natro

-fuel pump 8 days

-3 wheel studs in the space of a month

-seized coil overs

-spun big end

-blew up gear box

-ls1 loom shot

-unusable fly by wire throttle setup

I'm sure there's more...

Im good mate and how about your self ? I will not be making it to SAU NATS as my GT-R is currently undergoing a rebuild. And do not have enough time and money to purchase an R34 GT-R to make it to the NATS :(

Had an R32 GTR about 8 - 9 Yrs ago. Spent 20K after purchase on pretty nice upgrades and general awesomness.. Problems with slack workshops promising the world and only delivering 6 - 12 months off the road.. and still not right (Was told it was a cracked head.... probably just the aftermarket metal head gasket now that I know more about these cars). Got offered 13K which I took under pressure from a 'workshop' that had it sitting there for months with no work done to get rid of the headache. So much anger right now.

Very happy with an RB25 that I can work on now and get it professionally tuned. Ahhh all better.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
