LOTS!

DOHC, 4.0l 6-pack with a restricted and underloaded turbo and motor...

BIG things will be made from this platform!!

A mate just received his after a delay with the sunroof and a crack in the windscreen which was replaced before delivery.

Click here to see the professional shots he had taken the other night.

AWESOME!

Guys,

They wound the boost down on the turbo to prevent the power exceeding the XR8. They did this because otherwise no-one would buy the V8. I have heard it has serious potential, at the factory they pushed over 300kW at the flywheel during testing. Factory skylines come with restrictive airboxes and exhausts, to meet EPA, but it doesn't take much to replace them.

I think we are in for many years of fun racing these down at the drags.

See'ya:burnout:

Apparently it has a very restrictive airbox and exhaust.

It has a restrictor on the turbo as well which can be removed. Aftermarket companies in this country are falling all over themselves to develop this car. ANYONE that says this car has no potential is not thinking straight!

It's the same as saying that, "because of the way a factory r33 ecu retards the timing when boost is increased, it's not worth developing the rest of the car". How many of us here have aftermarket ECU's?!?!?

ridiculous! not a shot at what you said, just that i'm sick of hearing bullsnot being thrown around on this subject.

Lets think about it: Change exhaust, remove inlet restrictor and other restrictions, up the boost, BANG 300kW !!!

That's potential in my book!

:D

I agree with 2rismo, the performance shops already have parts ready to bolt-on and can't wait to replace the engine management systems, the potential will be awesome.

Aslong as they can fix the problem of the side airbags going off, casue that would be a bitch if your racing and the airbags blew up.

See'ya:burnout:

Deesh,

If you wanted a drag or race car then I would agree with you, but these aren't intended for that purpose. They are a luxury sports saloon, and therefore have to have all the goods that people expect these days.

I'm sure if you stripped it then you could loose 300+kgs.

See'ya:burnout:

These cars have just over 200kw at the wheels straight out of the box. I point your attention over to this thread on performance forums http://board.performanceforums.com/forums/...readid=67137695

Very impressive. And for those people complaining that it weighs to much...go buy a mini or something.:D

these things DO! have a crapload of potential,only thing is that i dont think the tranny is gonna hold up to much abuse,as thereve already changed 400 auto's out of the first batch made,and even the 5 speeds are going aswell, but there are strengthing them.

Also i have heard from a mechanic that words at Fords in broadmedows in the warranty/workshop that the only problem is the crank,rods etc and to get the power out of these things and to still be reliable all these things will have to be changed

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
