So yeah I ended up with this pretty decent R33. after swapping it for my BMW. Had it nearly a year now and naturally I am bored shitless so I want to waste time and money;


Here's the list of mods when I got it, since then the only mods I've done are bulk skids

Modifications are:

-Genuine Garrett 3071 Turbo with braided lines and aluminium intake pipe.
-Vi-Pec Engine Management System, tuned by ESP in Queanbeyan
-Front-mount Intercooler
-Upgraded 040 fuel pump
-Upgraded 700cc (approx) injectors
-Split-fire coil packs
-Heavy duty clutch
-Full X-Force exhaust system
-Biggest pod filter you have ever seenn
-Re-shimmed and serviced LSD Diff
-Whiteline swaybars front and rear with new knuckles
-DBA slotted brake rotors, braided lines and Project-Mu Pads

Tuned to 273 rwkw - I think 400 rwkw sounds more appropriate. 

Some options I have though about;
1- put rb26 running gear in it make it 4wd and boost it some more
2- punish the Rb25 so hard it pops, then repeat that several times at maximum power
3- be cool and put a LS1 in it and twin turbo that
4- sell it and get a GTR (- I'd like one but I need the 4 door now plus the wife think its cool and my son likes it too).

A stock unopened 25 will take 350rwkw without too much fuss. Head studs are probably a good idea. My own setup went from 260 to 312 from 98 to e85. I would think yours should make around the 320 mark. Cams typically won't be required but will give top end gains.

I'd get the GTX 3076, the 3071 is probably not gunna make much more power than what you already have. And just get the maximum sized injectors [do it once].  There is a thread here somewhere telling everyone that they idle and work just fine these days.  And the cost is about the same, so why not. but Glenn knows his stuff so talk to him about it.

Yep get bigger more modern injectors and a bigger more modern turbo and if your intercooler and exhaust system (3.5 in) are up to it you should have heaps of power. If the engine lets go (no reason why it should) put an RB30 block under your head for heaps of street friendly torque. If you want four door four wheel drive get a GTS4 and repower it.

Get GTX3576 with a divided rear housing, and a proper twin scroll manifold.. put in some headstuds and screw about 2 bar into it.. should see close to 400kw+ on E85

Your injectors are too small too and you need a new fuel pump.

Thanks Lads. Good inputs. Seems the obvious path forward is to setup on E85 and leave majority of hardware as is and I'm pretty sure the vipec can handle a flex sensor. Then max it all out and decide from there.

Might even give tuning it myself a red hot crack. A lumpy idle would be level 7 jizmatronic 

boost in the snow this morning was beyond luscious. Wheel spin through 3rd and hectic popping of the limiter.

    • Wanted to add some of my R33 GTST  R34 GTR wheels, 18x9 ET30 with 255/35/R18 PS4S'   BBS RE-V7 029 18x9.5 ET22 with 255/35/R18 PS4S' Needs a bit of camber

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?
