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.....

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
