Very impressive. I know that with modern single turbos, more power can be made but some people enjoy the factory twin turbo sleeper look; im one of them.

Your figure is a perfect number for daily and track days; also the occasional spirited twisties. 

Was there any cam gear adjustment?

I dont think so but it might need it does run a bit lumpy on idle. Ye its plenty power for track now, any more and I will need a big brake kit. I just ordered some pfc rotors for front and some pfc 11 pads all round. I have Pfc uprades on my M3 and its so good with stock calipers.

Lumpy idle. Yeah its probably the cams. I saw just yesterday a blue gtr with tomei cams and e85. It was very lumpy on cold start and idle. Some cam gear adjustment will help shift the powerbank; great for an upgraded turbo rb26, especially on slower corners and on the street.

The car looks great, i had an r33 gts4 a long time ago and ive always loved the r33 gtr. Definitely put a stock rear bumper on, we are over the whole bling bling bodykits. Oem is king now.

Ye ok. Will get the cams looked into. Im going to collect a black rear bumper tomorrow. $20

I read that  the gtst and gtr are the same rear bumper so it should fit.

Cheers

It would be a lot better if the hackers cracked the TCU software so that it could be improved but nobody has managed it yet.

 

Pretty sure TMR can do this. I was down there this morning and he mentioned something about it.

Possibly getting my EVO X SST repaired/fixed.

Ye I had slipping in mine too so I installed new Viton seals and SSP 600HP rated clutch packs. Mine shifts hard and fast in supersport mode but still slips slightly in normal and sport. Afaik nobody has cracked the TCU software so the slipping in normal and sport cant be improved on too much so I always drive in supersport with paddles.

I spoke to Dan this morning and yes TMR can crack the TCU software. Speak to Dan McCoey he is very knowledgeble.

If you speak to him this week tell him Tony referred you he is working on my car as we speak.

 

Appears to be a SST tunning issue which no other major workshop has picked up on. And im talking a 'few' specialist Evo workshops.

Wow thats huge news. People all over the world have been trying to crack it since 2008. I knew they could control some SST tables but to have full control of the TCU will help performance a lot.

      Rear suspension upgrades

      By Duncan · Posted

      I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low

      In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.

      Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info

      It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
