Try punting a 450kw street GTR around a track and let me know how that works out for you, I have that much power and have tried it, not a fun experience :/

did.

Was fine until spun bearings.

I was thinking to put 34 diffs into my 26/30 32 GTR to give the thing more legs and use the torque better. Just seem to row gears constantly on full noise.

I was thinking similar.

my thought is the 34 short ratio gears, which sit between the 32 and 34 ratios.

I believe around the 3.8:1 mark.

I saw Mick's post before and he dropped it down to 380kw to track it, I think that was right Mick ?

Understand , I know nothing, just thinking aloud :)

With say something like mine as a 3.2 , no huge Turbo, but with a more linear acceleration.

Do not understand why, with drive line modified, worked suspension, maybe a Quaife front diff or similar, modified trannie and a 2-way rear ,with good rubber, your right foot and gears to change why you could not use 450KW on a track ??

wish I could! Wish I could! WIsh I could! WISh I could! WISH I COULD!

Maybe today or tomorrow, not a good thing to rush :)

Geez, you're patient man.

If it were me, I'd chime in with a chainsaw to speed things up!

Patient, haha, NOT at all Grant, if it is much longer I will explode .

But there is nothing I can do about it, I just hope the job gets me what I am after and it sounds like it will be, even all of the little things are being looked after.

Got the bill yet

Has jez charged the 10 bux a silly question surcharge?

Should still only cost 30% of crd

If I got charged $10 for the silly question surcharge I would have to get a job to pay the bill :woot:

Thats the trouble when you are learning anything, silly questions, but my mate always said, there are only stupid answers and never be afraid to ask questions :yes:

all depends on how the turbos come into boost.

mocks would be very agrees ive for best response.

I had a big lazy single, so traction wasn't an issue for me.

But, going back to low mount twins, so will be interesting to see what happens.

But if you have the drive line mods to put down the power on the road, what about your right foot controlling what is going on with the power , use it where you can and back off when you have to ?

Trouble is I have not raced or pushed my car to the edge around a track or even on the road , so I can only have a guess and hope to get the answers so I can learn something and understand how it works a little better.

There are alot of different factors ie type of power, how hard you push the car, driveline, brakes, tyres etc

A street GTR would be a stock car with normal street rubber, unmodified driveline and laggy topend power that hits hard later in the revrange, which is ok if you wait till it is lined up on the straights before giving to the beans

haha, then mine is somewhere inbetween, just need to do the suspension (but I wont)

He did a run on the car this morning and it was 390kw on 21psi , full boost at 3950 rpm on 98 pump, still working on it , looking promising

    • 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).
