Hello so I've brought a R33 Gtst. My first ever turbo car. Im looking to get it around 350 HP at the wheels. Now I've been doing a bit of research and I think I've found a good list of parts I need to make this possible. Just want to see what you guys think before I blow all my money. (Car at the moment is bog stock. Car is also automatic. I kind of want it for drags and circuit. I know manual is better but my daily is manual I wanted something different)

Parts:

-Intercooler

-Turbo smart boost tee & Boost guage

-Nismo 555cc injectors

-Turbo gt3037 (do I need better?)

-Apexi power intake

-Walbro 255 L/PH fuel pump

-Low mount & dump pipe

-R33 S2 AFM (Or Z32?)

-Lightweight pully kit

-And a tune (what's best tune to get).

This car is a track car so not ever going to be road legal so dont mind if I have to straight pipe or what ever.

Would that be enough to make 350 HP at the wheels? Or would I need a few more upgrades. Money isnt too much of an issue but would rather keep it below 2-3k.

Cheers guys

if you feel like saving money then just get a hypergear highflow done to your turbo.Those injectors and 18psi on petrol will make 350rw ponies easy.

Adaptronic ecu is much better than a nistune + Z32 afm

  • Like 1

Although 3k might be a little optimistic as around 2k for ecu and turbo, then it needs tune for around 60-1000 depending on where you go, then there's still a fmic kit and exhaust

Guess I'll be spending more money then haha

hyper gear high flow 850.

full 3 inch exhaust and dump, 2-400 drift sales.

injectors and fuel rail, again bargains to be had second hand, 2-800

tune 750

emanage blue 200 dollars or power fc 6-900

fuel pump 100 bucks.

e85.

will make your power figure easily.

Have you played with the cam timing on the 32 ?

I see in your sig your 33 has a fair few bolt ons, what does the 32 have ?

I guess its your 32 that has 271kw ( if written respectively) plus the 32 GTR is 40kg heavier then the 33 GTS-t and there's fark all difference :/ , try getting the LCAs of the 32 cams to 110-108deg and see if there is still fark all difference :D

or try taking your motor thats been dialed in, and doing power runs at a further 20 degree intake retard, or a 20 degree advance, and see if there are any areas where you can from the extra advance, this will show you the use for vct

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
