1996 R33 Series 2

SAFC-II (original ECU)

3-Inch Turbo back

Nismo 400R kit

Bilstein suspension

18"s with Federal 595's

Turbosmart gauges

Coil packs

I apologise for the horrible faded decals, the former owner... ugh... They are a pain to remove!

I recently bought this from Sydney, I wanted a car that could be used as a daily but needed work done, new to the turbo side of things and really keen to learn so I wanted something I could slowly fix and clean. Nothing more satisfying than finding a neglected car and saving it! Still new south wales plated, had like 8 months nsw rego!

1996 R33 Series 2

It's the right year and series but needs more doors! Looks Nice, shame about the front bar though...

and + 1 more for Welcomes. :thumbsup:

Nice and welcome ! an R33 was my first turbo. Couldn't swipe the smile off my face for weeks.

Yes, despite all the dramas, you were a very smiley fella. :D

Thank guys! Really is a shame about a lot of things on the car, one of those ones that just needs some TLC. Which means a chance to learn how to do a lot of cool things! I'm trying to clean it up to be a nice daily driver, hopefully finished build will have around 200rwkw's, student funds are horrible for saving however. Hope to see you guys out and about! :cheers:

Haha I do want more eventually, but I'm on fairly limited money being a full-time student working part-time retail. For now I'm cleaning the general car itself and restoring and replacing most of the original and damaged parts. More focusing on reliability and condition until I start earning a little more money :) Who knows though!

I'm a little hesitant to upload photos of my baby until ive cleaned it up a little more :\

I bought it in pretty crappy condition (nothing too major) and have been trying to restore it to its former glory.

He even had different sized spark plugs in there!! :wacko:

1998 R34 GT-T

3" Kakimoto (i believe thats how it is spelt!) Turboback exhaust

Nismo Twin Plate Clutch

19" Wheels (previous owner put them on, no clue what they are)

HKS SSQV BOV (so sexy)

Sound system transferred over from my previous car (bought a while ago still kicks hard!)

BC Suspension (can't remember the exact model but cost me $2100 and worth every damn cent!)

I know that feeling !! When you can only earn $400 a week when you have insurance/rego/phone bill/petrol/girlfriend it gets hard to put any money aside to do stuff to my baby! One day.. One day...

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
