Hey guys,

My name is David, just thought I'd introduce myself and my car.

Have always had a love for R-chassis vehicles, I had previously owned a a fairly stock R32 GTST M spec

I had a few other run arounds afterwards that aren't really worth mentioning until I finally came to my senses and purchased my R33 GTR in August 2012, which I still have to this day.

The car was fairly stock with just a few bolt ons, like splitfire coil packs, 3" exhaust and twin turbos that were suspected to have been rebuilt at some stage. The plan was to keep it in this state however that didn't last long.
Shortly after purchasing the car I bought a set of 18x10" work xd9 wheels.

Then purchased a set of Tein super street coilovers from a member on this forum.

Although I wasn't overly satisfied with the car, I'm a very picky person and soon enough the bug for more power had come and something had to be done about it, so out came the motor..

At this point the engine bay was looking less desirable than before.
So while the engine bay was getting a make over, I had Sam from SMD Workshop start to build up an RB26/30 with some goodies..

Any power results yet mate? Loving the whale, keep up the good work

The car made 392rwkw at 21psi two nights ago on the dyno with only the one Walbro in tank pump which is holding it back. I would say it is capable of making more power once i f**k off the walbro pump and do a proper fuel system with two pumps, surge tank etc

Looks good, well done!

Whose decision was it (and for what purpose) to ditch the ITB's in favour of the single TB or was your car already like that? Can't tell from the original piccies.

Thanks!

Was my mechanic's decision to do the single TB, he modified the factory plenum to fit the single TB onto it.

Looking pretty good Dave. I had an rb29 stroker in my R33 Gtr but it cracked my block so building the 26/30 now.

Did you have any trouble fitting the 26/30 into the R33 mate? As the rb30 has a higher deck.

Depends on the plenum, standard plenum or GReddy ones would be fine. Ive got a Plazmaman and it sits too high in the engine bay. Its a R33 GTST though

Cheers mate, I didn't have any issues fitting the 26/30 into the engine bay off my 33, however if it was going into a 32 then you would run into some clearance issues.

Nice clean ride. Big power, what are you aiming for with the new fuel setup?

Plans for any track days?

Had a few dilemmas with the fuel setup after finishing the motor. Have recently fitted twin Bosch 044 pumps with surge tank and have not had any issues since. Ended up re-tuning it and made more power than the first dyno run ;)

I've entered for Powercruise Sydney, which will be the first event i will be taking the car to with the new motor setup

Hey guys, its been awhile since I posted up here...

So since I've had the car on the road after building the RB26/30, I've been having a few teething issues with my drive line..

Entered the car at Powercruise earlier during the year to only last one session during the Off street drags, had fried my O.S Geiken clutch.

After replacing the clutch, raced the car for very first time at Eastern Creek in April. Best time was a 11.4 (132mph) however had issues with the 4wd ATTESA system, car was only running in 2wd and so I couldn't get the power to the ground effectively.. needless to say I was running on just normal Yokohama street tread which wasn't helping with traction either.

Also had my car featured in a magazine, although I haven't been advised yet when its expected to come out.

Since the car isn't daily driven it has been left on the side for some time but I'm hopeing to rectify my little teething issues and to get it back on the road again soon..

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
