I've just recently bought an r33 gtst series 2 (1996). It currently has 360rwkw on eflex.

Current setup...

Greddy plenum

740cc side feed injectors

Blitz front mount

6boost manifold

Gt3582r

Walbro intank

Surge tank

Aeromotive A1000 fuel pump

And other bits and peices...

So I want to make about 450-500rwkw.

Im going to get an eflex sensor to be able to run up to 85% ethenol and 98 in emergancies.

This is what I want to do...

Head

Supertech 1mm over sized valves(purchased)

Supertech Valve springs (purchased)

Supertech titanium retainers(purchased)

Tomei valve guides

Tomei 270 8.8mm lift cams(purchased)

Tomei 1.5mm metal head gasket(purchased)

ARP 2000 head studs(purchased)

Tomei inlet and exhaust cam gears(purchased)

Bottom end

Spool rebuild kit with CP pistons

Has acl race series bearings and spool conrods etc.

Spool high volume sump

Can someone recommend an oil pump?

New water pump N1?

ARP 2000 main studs

Fuel

Bosch 2200cc injectors (purchased)

Billet fuel rail(purchased)

Walbro 460lph e85 friendly pump

Also will be going larger precision turbo but thats another story.

This list is not exhaustive and any input and opinions would be appreciated.

Are my power figures acheivable and relatively reliable?

Please let me know if I'm on the right track.

I know what your saying, I was thinking of doing a 30 bottom end but I just love a highly strung rb25.

what's wrong with a highly strung RB30? lol

it will make more power under the curve and bring any turbo on earlier than a Rb25

Aaagh. Now you have me thinking again! Lol.

Well the head is pretty much sorted I'll look into the 30 bottom end. What do you recken of the spool rb30 bottom end package??

It looks reasonable...

Would I have clearence issues between my 6boost manifold and the block??

Sorry mate, I just took it for granted that any reasonable person would have all machine work (porting and so on) done when their doing a build like this.

Thats why I didn't mention it.

Can't assume people are reasonable on here!

And I wouldn't group porting with machine work, but whatever.

I would suggest going some more modern injectors. Go top Feed ID's or something. My tuner hates that I have Nismo's, to me the car runs perfect but he reakons he could get it a whole lot sweeter with some ID's etc in there

Bosch injectors no good? I thought they were the same as ID's, they are also top feed. No?

Yes they are the same thing - 89CAL was looking at your current list and missed your shopping list.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
