Unless the "worked" engine has had it rev range increased it won't be any quicker than the cars gearing (diff & g/box) allows.

Increased power only gets you there faster. Gearing will get you a higher top speed!

I've managed a touch over 6300 in 5th back when I had 215rwkw. 6300 in 5th is ~245-250ish. So I agree a stock GTS25t would be lucky to push past 230-240 before it'd run out of puff or drag would stop the fun.

Pah... i got up to 190 in my stock standard R31 on "my private test track" and i'd say there was another 20-30km/h in it. Consider that is 120kw and an r33 gts-t has around 180kw standard, you should get more than 230km/hr.

Course with the stupid speedos on the skylines (whose dumb idea in japan was it to go up to only 180km/hr ??)... its always hard to tell.

Sure you can get to 180-190-200km/h etc.. but as speed goes up so to does drag. It's a LOT harder to hit 230-240km/h & takes plenty of power & a very good CD to push past these speeds. Plus add speedo error into the equation & you'll find your 190km/h in your R31 was probably closer to 175-180km/h.

I'd say for a box on wheels, an R31 would have massive drag!

Yeah, who knows about speedo error but generally i think mine was on target because i did a test once on the hume on that measure speed points and it was bang on at 110km/hr like the speedo was saying.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
