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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
