Not that I care, but when modifying a car it has to all meet the ADR standards.

No changing can allowed, no more than a 20% more power etc.

There's something about changing to an older engine somewhere, which is a no no, but given an rb30 comes out with one cam, using a different head and cams although stock, is still changing the cam.

That's easily sorted by an emissions test though.

The 30 bottom end and 26 or 25 head is a bit of an oddball as far as the standards and law goes.

Agree this setup is perfection ^^^ if i was to go a single it would be very similar.

All will get sorted. Just needs time.

Nice to hear there is some hope among the gloom :)

I know I will be happy when it is done and love the way it drive already, I think it will be a good hill climb car.

The old set up was crap compared to how it drives now, even with the existing problems I am happier :)

Illogical statement.

It was crap because the set up for your previous engine was crap.

That's why you are having the issues now because you are using the same suboptimal setup for your new engine, which is crap right now. Right?

Logical isn't it?

Not having a go at you, just saying now you have the knowledge that your set up from when you bought the car was suboptimal you know why it drove the way it did. Don't ignore the elephant in the room when you are critiquing your previous setup.

Anyway all the best with it and I hope you get exactly what you want and even better than what you expect. :)

What previous set up are you referring to , 1 when I bought it, 2. when I changed the cams, turbo and exhaust 3 the 3.2 and this one is not finished yet and when it is I expect it to be what I wanted to begin with, fingers X :)

Here are the 3 dynos

So do you have a pic of the harmonic balancer ?

Cause if it is in fact controlled by the factory CAS that could be the issue :(

I picked that the build will require a crank trigger to sort out timing issues ages ago....

Those where the pics i've been looking for

Doesn't look like it has a trigger wheel :(

Factory CAS could very well be the issue :/

I hope not but I've seen it to many times

what problem does this cause

Timing scatter at high RPM due to the longer timing belt, this is the problem when an engine is controlled by what is realistically a rubber band

My advise now is DO NOT push this engine till the problem is confirmed just in case cause timing scatter can cause big problems

thanks for that, could have saved me a bigger problem, didn't need anymore :)

Glad you said that I was going for a run today and I have been too busy with the kids for a while.

I will ask them if they ut a trigger wheel on

Pete you'd know if they did, it would be on the bill. Until the murrayis kit came along they were not cheap.

Not on the build sheet or the earlier build before I bought the car, just the ATI balancer and damper ??

Do they make that much difference or more a safety precaution for the motor ?

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • 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).
