Thats an awsome results dude, can tell how happy you would be :)

Yes jazza08, I've had the GCG Hiflow for 12 months and was always around the 220-240kw@tw. I always wanted to be at 260-280kw because reading different owners threads and comparing mods, I felt that thats where most guys were aiming. Now with the VG30 rear end 270kw is a breeze and i'm extremely happy with that for a few hundred bucks outlay. If I had have known about the VG30 rear end 12 months ago I would have bought that straight away.

Very good.  Have you got a pic of the turbo before you put it on.  I'm interested to see the physical size of the exhaust housing.

This fits with my theory that an R34 turbo highflowed should make more than an R33 one done the same way.  Compressor sides are the same all round but bigger exhaust housing picks up serious gains.

Hi Bob, I'll try and download the pics now mate

So the comp. cover is still the std. rb25det turbo?

Also, having trouble understanding that dyno graph :Oops: . How could a turbo with a bigger exhaust cover be making more power throughout the whole range? I would have thought the std hiflow would have been making more power a little earlier (@ low rpm), than the VG30 hiflow combo.

Hi guys, I had a dissapointing day yesterday at Oran Park. I retired the car after only 9 laps. The car was unbelievable. Heaps of power everywhere, more than i was used to and it was the first time I have "booted" the thing since it was installed. I have never raced on the OP short circuit before and I needed more time to work it out. I was getting faster and faster the more familiar i was becoming with the newfound power and the track. Seriously, the boost comes on much much stronger than the normal GCG Hiflow. I ran a best time of 50.68.00. I honestly believe given a few more laps i could have gotten down to 48's. Even the 50.68 sec lap I was sidways comming onto the straight and I would have lost time correcting it.Biggest lesson I learnt is to ALWAYS reinstall the manifold heat shield and the turbo heat shield. I ran without and melted some plumbing. Not melted right through but rubber blistering nearest the stock manifold and even a silicon joiner melting where it was in contact with a SS clamp. DUMB MISTAKE. I'm going to replace some pipes with silicon and reinstall the heat shields.

I burnt/split the heater hose on the firewall, so the glycol sprayed over the hot turbo and flashed off. There was far more smoke then fire, but by the time i stripped/cleaned the car to observe the damage it was clear that there had been a lot of heat and enough of a fire to warrant a new loom.:P

I never thought of that issue before. I guess that is why Nissan designed them in the first place. You never stop learning when you start racing. I stuck my hand in down by that area after 3 laps and jessusss it was hot. It's a neverending story, need to get the lip on the rear guards rolled to as the tyres are just touching, more money.

Ian

More money :)...thats why im callin git quits for a year or two. Concentrate on work and getting some money behind me and enjoy some travel. Fingers crossed i might pick up a Sierra while working / travelling:)

Its amazxign once you start racing a car, i realised two thing, how good a job Nissan did, and secondly how so many aftermarket parts only solve half the problem:(

I've said it before...The Skyline...We rock up to anywhere, 3 people in the car, 4 wheels and tyres in the car, 20litre drum of fuel with Toluene mixed, tool box and pump and god knows. Having driven for 4 hours to get there, the car is absolutely loaded to the gunnels. Air Conditioner going Stereo going change the tyres when were there. Opposition turn up with car on trailer, gutted with engines and stuff from all sorts of different origin, and there are only a few cars that are quicker on the track. We always finish in the top 10 overall and I just think that says something for Nissan.....and the Skyline.

Ian

Okay so back on topic.

Hows the car at low revs know? Making any less power?

Do you have a graph from like 2000 rpm upwards?

Can you retain the existing dump pipe?

Dying to find one.

BASS OUT

    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
