gday guys, hopefully getting an r33 gts-t soon and will be garaging it for a couple months so I can do a bit of work to it. Im a mechanic so anything i need to do im capable of doing, but need some opinions. my first step when I get it is to remove the engine and do all of its internals first, so thats out of the way, then im gonna put a top mounted turbo on etc. but what I want your opinions on is whats some good internal components available for the 33 gts-t? i see alot of tomei forged pistons and con rods etc, are they a good quality to withstand a fair bit of hp? pretty much I want to make the internals of the engine alot stronger then stock to take more hp, but am not looking at drag racing level, just a good powerful street tune. if you can forward me to website that are good id appreciate it, as I have been on a lot of sites that have too many discontinued products. cheers.

For 250kw I wouldn't bother building the engine. Spend the money else where on suspension, gauges, tires, adj. Arms ect. Same for 300kw. If your going to be running e85 even 350kw can be ok for a fair period of time with a very GOOD TUNE. if you must build a rb25 for piece of mind then.

JE PISTONS.

EAGLE/SPOOL/NITTO RODS.

KING/ACL BEARINGS.

STANDARD NISSAN HEAD GASKET.

NITTO/TOMEI OIL PUMP.

N1 WATER PUMP.

HEAD OIL DRAIN.

OIL RESTRICTORS.

HI ENERGY SUMP 6.5L.

JIM BERRY SINGLE PLATE CLUTCH.

GASKET MATCH RUNNERS/EXHAUST MANI ECT.

GENERAL TIDY UP OF EXHAUST PORTS EG. REMOVE DAGS AND SMOOTH OUT.

ROSS HARMONIC BALANCER OR GEN. NISSAN.

OPTIONAL BUT NOT NEEDED: 256DEG/8.5MM LIFT TOMEI PONCAMS AND ADJ EX. CAM GEAR.

You won't really need all that for a engine build but be prepared for it to cost fair $$$'s. Like you could just get everything machined up and slap forged pistons and set of H beam eagle rods. With approiate bearings gaskets and slap it back in if doing it on cheap. All depends what power you want and what you wish to do with the car. Street/strip/track or whatever. You need to make up your mind what power level you wish for first. There is a ridiculous amount of difference between 250rwkw and 350rwkw.

Anyway there is so so so much info on here it's not funny. I suggest you study up. Read the dyno thread for rb25s.

Cheers Josh.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
