Or is it? *Dramatic music*

Given how much interest there often is in dyno sheets despite the rariety of 1000hp cars, my guess would be a couple?

We'll put you down as a no though.

Also what's in Brazil?

Exactly what Shyboy said. Will be staying in a hostel in Rio for 2 weeks so will be out in the mix as much as possible. You just can't beat Latina women, only need to go partying in Bondi to figure that out : D

As for the GTR, it made 267awkw at 14psi tapering off to 13psi, then with another 2 degrees timing knocked out of it it made 257awkw. The main reason for knocking out timing is to make it super safe until we get the KV8 in. Plus, it was running super rich like all Jap tuned cars.

Did this thing used to have a big turbo kit on it before it was imported?

Wonder why they built it and did the head? Someone had some plans at some point? 

 

Nope, prior to the brand new engine it was running HKS low-mount twins. 

I envisage the owner did all of his driving on the street and thus set it up accordingly with the 'factory special' theme.

So the mods going forth will continue the theme and simply bring the car into the 21st century. It's worth more kitted out with all the Nismo gear anyway.

It's almost scary to think the S15 will have 330-340rwkw on low boost whilst 280kg lighter - I'm already wow'ed by the GT-R so I think I underestimated just how fast that will be.

 

I think you do underestimate how fast the Silvia will be, but we can shit our pants together when i get mine done because I think I underestimate it too. 

What's the purpose of the 2 cars? Silvia for track GT-R for street? Could save yourself a FAT stack of cash by not going too wild on the GT-R and having the Silvia as your "fast" car? 

 

This car is super clean and to be honest, i suspect has perfect mix of power and chuck-ability. 

Can't wait to hear your impression of it on the roads. :)

What a stupid question ...

The GT-R ended up on a tow truck this sunday.

Basically, had a massive BBQ at the beach with the brazillian girls till we got moved along by the police, so we kicked on to Waverley Park.

They jumped in the R so naturally I gave them the R experience.... until I blew the clutch. 

After some fun at Waverley one of the latina girls jumped back in for the ride home, I knew the clutch was 95% toast but I figured I'd be able to nurse it back to my place. Unfortunately ended up free-revving on Old South Head Rd pulling over just in time, I imagine it's probably the pressure plate as the initial "95% fail" happened instantly?

Thankfully had a case of warm corona (man beer) in the boot so we sat on the sidewalk sinking that for about 2 hours till the tow truck came. She loved the whole experience though even helping to push the car back into the garage. So that's the end of the R for now, will figure out the next step in due course.....

Unlucky.

A sudden let go could be as simple as the pivot ball is snapped, which is why Nismo sells a reinforced item. Pull the boot off and have a look inside you might just get lucky.

Dan, it's a Nismo Twin Plate. I think the R33 is a pull-type clutch. Does it have a pivot ball or is there something else that could of failed?

I thought they still had a pivot ball?

Those nismo twin plates are good for power well beyond what you're making. 

Pull the boot back and shine a light inside. Have someone press the pedal. 

*EDIT* Think I'm wrong about the pivot ball sorry, as you said pull not push. 

May have busted release bearing or the fork instead.

After shredding the friction material on the Nismo Twin Plate and welding the clutch together, it was time for future-proofing this big white lead sled......

In goes a Custom DCS Billet Twin Plate rated to 1500bhp, and yes, it does rattle like a million samurai's which was a prerequisite....

Then we decided to roll on with a don mega fuel system....

Seeing as nothing off the shelf would cut it, in went a custom surge tank....

& once that baby was mounted, an Aeromotive fuel pressure regulator and billet fuel filter was tucked in neatly to the engine bay

A custom crank trigger setup is also in progress, I will keep you lads posted.....

    • 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.
