Have run it on 1/8 mile here at 400rwkw ran 6.8@106mph. Was meant to race 1/4 mile tomorow but meeting cancelled.

Wow, it's going to be nasty next time - well into the tens at that rate!

FP have dropped prices on a bunch of their turbos, some would be the ones particularly good for Skylines:

Well him or mark at gt pumps can both make them. Mark at g g pumps has not replied to my email yet. Kando has made some hta wherls for mitsi turbos but not garrett he said. So does have some sizes slready on his cnc computer. Im also very wary to get him to make me one to put on a 3076 I have laying hear in the shed. Does fp hta sell just the comp wheel

Lol updates will come soon from mine, not sure where the others are up too.... From what i know there were a couple of others keen on the HTA but not sure who has commited too it!

I ordered mine direct from Forced Performance.

I have my HTA, hope to have it running by mid Oct...

Knowing that is 10mm more compressor on a comparable dyno to 34GeeTeeTee makes me all jittery. That 40kw advantage is shadowed by the outright potential of this thing... And look at the way it aggressively stands up at the 3.7 mark and does a pretty decent job of holding on to its torque too.

That must be freaking scary to drive. I am very jealous.

Good work sky30.

Just emailed kando dynamics and he is quite happy to make hta billet wheels as long as I can supply him with a example or drawing of the wheel? What do you guys think?

Honestly you might just want to source me a 2nd hand HTA turbo and I can have it copied and modified in Australia to what ever shape you want at a fraction of the time.

How ever it takes lot of time and effort to develop a successful compressor wheel, even thou been a competitor I respect their work. Which I'm happy to spend time and modify one of my own wheels to match or beat their performance but I will never copy their work.

Obviously unlike people marks their profits based on copying other people's hard work, since the formation of their business all they've done is making good counterfeits out of many successful competitors products then dump them at a fraction of the costs. That is particularly harmful for the original developers, if that carries on then no one will be welling to invest their time and efforts in better products.

So if you want a HTA item and can't afford it now, then save up for it with respect. Do not cheap it out.

Agreed, it looks like a wicked street setup and still capable of more - it looks pretty much like a normal GT3582R spool but GT3582R+ power which is definitely nice.

:cheers: Awesome attitude :) Would be interesting to see if you could develop wheels to match or beat their performance, I'd certainly get in behind if there is a reliable more local product which could do what the HTAs do all things being equal.

In other news - FP have released a Super 99 HTA turbo, a 103lb/min T3 flanged (hopefully they release other flange versions - but still) turbo capable of >1000hp. MENTAL!

I seen that on there eeb page Lithium. Looks promising. Stao you should try create some new wheels that match ir beat the hta comp wheels as Lithium mentioned. I always prefer to go local if I can. I just dont know what to do im not using the plain new gt3076 I have in the shed. I may as well sell it and look into something like hta 3076 whole tufbo. At work cant fully write everything I wanted to.

Josh.

    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
