This is probably the most informational and useful video about RBs in all of TH-cam. I've watched it a million times and I'm slowly checking things off my list. I got 1000 cc injectors and garret 2860 turbos in mine now
Wow, that was so in-depth and easy to understand at the same time. Easily the most informative video on R32 GT-R modification I've ever watched. Thumbs up MotiveDVD!
I bought my first R-32 two years ago. This is a very good video on the facts and myths of the RB26 engine. My car is pushing 621hp at the wheels on a conservative tune I use for everyday driving on pump gas. But I have my performance tune set to 780hp on pump gas. This is what I have done to mine. 2.8L stroker motor with fully forged internals, HKS T51R Kai turbo, HKS wastegate, Balanced and treated crank and cylinder block, Polished headm 280degree 10.5lift cams, Metal head gasket (1.5mm), High flow fuel pump, Trust fuel delivery pipe and regulator, 660cc injectors, HKS Vpro, HKS front mount intercooler, HKS air filter, HKS oil pump, Apexi oil cooler and filter relocator, Trust oil pan, Aftermarket catch tank, 3 row radiator, Sftermarket straight pipe and catback, OS Giken 1-2-3 close ratio transmission and triple plate clutch, 2 way LSD, Tein Pillowtension rods. I'm set up for E85 but I have never used it as of yet. I have never race nor took mine down the drag strip. Oh and the engine when I got it only hat 15,000 original miles when I got the car and it had an N1 block already in the car. I'm assuming That the owner before me swapped the original motor for a N1 is my best guess but That it
MotiveDVD always great content. I built my RB30 R33 GTR just off watching your videos and I couldn’t be happier. Being in the US a lot of people just don’t know about this car.

thekillerklebb it made 604 hp on wastegate pressure and pump gas (93). We are removing the motor again to send the head out for CNC porting and shimless buckets. That should get us to 750hp on pump and well into the 900 range on E85. After that I’m done. No more lol.
James Thomas Lmfao! You say that now! Until 900 gets boring😂😂 thanks for the info though James. I’ve been searching for a good 600hp parts list that’s not full of discontinued parts. Where are you sending you head to if you don’t mind me asking?
Awesome video. Had 2860-5 garretts on my old 32 years back. Forged 2.7, fcon Vpro etc. Made 598 whp at 1.5 bar. Such an awesome experience. The rb26 tuned is glorious
Brilliant!!! The whole family, from nan to the kiddies, enjoy a good JB Weld story, but holding a cracked 9 second rb26 block together could very well top them all. God bless you guys.
Camber settings on my GTR were -4.4 front and -3.4 rear for circuit work, locked out Hicas and + 1mm toe on the rear per side, castor was 9 degrees up front and front toe was -2mm over all. I used temp guns on every session to get the optimal contact patch. Suspension is super critical too, if you want to go fast, look at MCA or custom made shocks through RacePace Victoria. I ran a torque split controller too with a 50/50 setting, made a huge difference. I was still running twins with 2863 GTX series Garretts, they were very, very responsive with the HKS 2.8L (Yet to see a single setup come close) but the downside is that I needed 33psi to overcome the exhaust pressure through to the intake to get the L/min of air flow up. A single EFR would have been great, 8374 would have been my choice. I was running 490KWatw on E85 with the twins and it was very quick at the track and have got quite a few records from this car (Still holds the QLD's fastest street Skyline GTR record). Brakes were 381mm Harrops up front with 356mm down the back and wheels were TE37's with 305/30/18's in DZ03 Dunlops. I have run into the 55's at QLD raceway on the sprint track and managed a 57 on Clubman. If you want a serious circuit car that actually goes fast, you will need a lot of money period. The R&D to set the car up is quite a lot and when you finally get it on track it costs a fortune to keep it going. On track it was approx Brakes = $270/100km Fuel = $280/100kms Tyres = $2800/100kms. I used to average between 40-50kms per track day. Maintenance was killer too with turbo's letting go, head gasket replaces and clutch pressure plate failures at one point. There is nothing cheap about putting a GTR around a circuit cheaply, it works out to around $130 per minute for total running costs including breakages. It could run 10.3's on the street using V-Box, but I never went to the drags, I didn't want the extra stresses associated with the drag strip. I have sold the car now and will probably never own another GTR, was great fun, but you can go as fast of if not faster for way less money. I had a very modified MX5 after the GTR and it was a fraction of the costs and def as much fun, I would buy an MX5 every day of the week over another GTR. My current car is an LMP3 Lemans car with a lightened K20A Mugen engine and the whole car is far cheaper to live with and much much faster. 1:29's at Eastern Creek and about to go from 250hp to 380ish soon. Hopefully a 1:25 or quicker. 49's around Lakeside too with the current 250hp. If you want to go fast around a track for a decent price, don't look at GTR's, find something light and handles well.
It depends on what you find enjoyable. I personally feel that the GTR is a great car for what it was intended for, which is to be a street driven car that has the ability to enter weekend track events, autocross etc. I find this aspect of car ownership the most fun and not so much going the fastest the car and my money will allow. Obviously when you are putting $30-40k into it, you will begin to see diminishing returns as you would with any car. Also, most cars will experience maintenance/reliability/cost issues when that heavily modified over a period of time. You're basically saying that a MX-5 is a better car because its still fairly fast and doesn't cost $130/min? I don't know what world you live in, but GTRs do not need to cost $130/min to be on the track and still be quicker than a modified Miata. An ex prototype is in no doubt a faster car for the track but you're comparing two completely different vehicles built for two completely different purposes? As long as you keep your build reasonable, the GTR is a great car.
Nick - Australia That is the reality of circuit racing mate, i am just being honest with myself to how much it costs, until you have done it all out, I suggest you take others advice.
I'm not denying the fact that cars like the GTR can be extremely expensive to maintain and race after heavy modification, but you were basically saying that its better to buy a MX-5 because it won't cost you 'X' extreme amount of money to have on track. If we are talking about class racing, then I agree the MX-5 will be more bang for your buck in a seasonal, competitive environment but in terms of having an enjoyable time at track days and relatively amateur events (which I assume your MX-5 is for), the GTR does not require such extreme costs to be an enjoyable track machine, especially at the level of a MX-5. At the end of the day, its down to budget and desires. If you want a fully ground up built time attack/very competitive car at a low cost, then I agree the GTR is not the right car. In reality though, is there really a low cost car at that level of competitiveness, in terms of a registered street car? I don't really think so.
My MX5 cost me around 16k all up and I was eating Tarmac rally cars on the black stuff no issue, with a $9-11k build on a BP1.8L engine and probably another 5-6k on a different turbo set, exhaust etc, I would have been in the 450hpatw range on track, with the numbers I have run, it would have been as quick as my GTR for lap times if not quicker and quite a significant price difference, even the tyres were half the price and last 2-3 times longer (decreased mass helps a lot). I sadly sold my MX5 before i modded the engine further, but brakes, suspension, LCA's, wheels etc were all done, a proper wheel alignment, some chassis bracing and I was hoseing 500-600hp GTR's around the track too, with the power increase I would have been quicker for times and I am talking about some of Australia's fastest circuit GTR's, not your average GTR. If I was to build another street car, it would def be another MX5 with everything done this time, def not a lot of really fast ones around.
If what you claim is true with the cost and how fast your MX-5 was, then that is pretty remarkable by my standards. I would say if you had no car to begin with and your only aim was to smash track days then I agree that something like a MX-5 would be great, although I believe that up to around ~400-500whp, the GTR is great value for performance (At least before the price hike). That is basically what the car's chassis/motor were engineered for and hence remains a great street car while still keeping up with numerous modern sport cars of the same class. I've gotten around that power level with $3XXX spent on the motor side of things, and since its not enough power to brutally damage the car and blow the tyres off, its very cheap to maintain and take on track. It might not be fastest GTR around, but its very reliable, nice to drive on the street, has backseats and maintains a factory appearance which I assume can be a stretch for a MX-5 (Or similiar vehicle). To me, thats all I could ask from a sports car.
Woah woah woah , are you telling me that you set up your suspension to actually improve performance ? So it’s not just about rolling fenders , stretching tires and looking like a new born giraffe learning to stand ?
01GTB Daily omg this comment is so funny. I mean how did you come up with it. It’s like you are a professional comic. It is so funny m8. Please keep it up my dog. You are the best. I mean it. Could not be better. You are better than Jesus. Better than god. Better than a catholic priest without touching kids. It’s amazing. Wow. Lol omg Snapchat insta.
Me watches and appreciates this video and taking mental notes. Also me looking at my garage with a 1997 honda civic and a 2014 mitsubishi mirage hatchback.
This is how everyone should treat/mod their car for an all rounder. My supra ran a 10.7 with 420kw @133 - 1.61 60ft, 19psi, gtx35r, tein monoflex suspension and some r888 semi slicks. Only thing that ever broke was the diff (small diff) due to axel tramp. Spent about 15k total. I did the same thing with running the fuel lines as duel feed too, actually I did most things the way you did except the external fuel pump and the things that the 2js just don't need. I put on adjustable cam gears but after hours of adjustment we ended up back at 0 degrees anyway.
I like the GTR R32 bgecause its a beautiful looking car and the sound that engine makes give me butterflies. It sounds awesome. Once there isn't a coal scuttle instead of a proper exhaust on it.
I want to make a series like this but a bit different..."How to build an 8 second Skyline GT-R in the USA". Your "budget GT-R" series has been a HUGE inspiration. I've always dreamed of having a Skyline GT-R (typical American, I know...) and now that they're legal here, I will have one and I want to make it huge...NO ONE has done anything even CLOSE to what you guys are doing down there here in the US. I'd be very interested in working in conjunction with you guys and some of the notable shops from down under. I could see the market for Skyline tuning and parts EXPLODING here in the US over the coming year or two with a bit of attention. If you guys are interested in having a presence here in the US, I'd love to hear from you.
Awesome explanation as always. Interesting that you guys made all that power with the ITBs, but this was the first thing the MCM guys removed when they fitted the Hypertune manifold.
got high 14s in my stagea fully loaded with camping gear r33 stock box 700 pounds hx52 60 pounds ms3 pro 1200 pounds built the rb25 in garage jun oil pump 26 long nose second hand pistons and rods stock head rest fabricated by me its ok buying bolt ons but much more satisfying if you make it yourself and tune it yourself besides being able to tune your own stuff is handy did that time on a tune i did on motorway up to santapod ;) net cans on for 3 hours !
I love skidders. I had a 68 mustang. but I sold that. cos it needed some work to it. I sold it to a hot rod mate. that was a awesome car [ I had it for 13 years]. then I got a 1990 gts skyline black coupe . after a couple of years . the cat and mufflers was going. so I had the cat taken out. redone the exhurst, with a rear rage muffler. plus a k,n panel filter. it got a little quicker then, and I notice the idle drop.it got stolen here in Christchurch nz . I had that car for 18 years. now I got a 2005 skyline gt350 black coupe. with rear tint window and spoiler. [it looks likes motordyne g35 on you tube. same year too.] I did almost got a 92 gts-t auto. but I had nightmares if I park it up. when I come back. it,ll be gone . my gts was alarm too
Good to see the old "Croydon motorsports'" still around...back in the mid 90's they helped with an engine build issue I had and solved it... awesome bunch of guys then... Jamie Bezzina "Itsmad" still work there? hahaha Awesome vid....bet this will get some comments going.... Shame i don't have a GT-R... cos' Evo is life ;)
So where was the best setting for the stock cams with the adjustable gears, Cheers love this video. I have an rb26/30. I can see myself going for the big single
10 Sec car by a c6 zo6 but a tire on it bone stock and run 10.8-10.9 at 127-128 For 30k spend 10k on headers , head and cam and ported msd intake and run 139-141 n/a no boost and have a car that can out brake and handle most super cars. Good info though you broke it down really well. I think big singles have to Much lag and a good twin set up gives you the best of both worlds big low in and responsiveness and top End charge
i love that you are still using regural fuel lines with normal clamps. i have used an lines but only thing i have noticed is that i have less money in my pocket
what kind of welding system and material did you use to weld on the factory fuel rail? i tryed tig and silver soldering (probably with the wrong type of material) and broke my old rail :D.
are both turbo's together good for 30 pounds ? if yes what is the negative for big performance from a near stocka . i rekon a good stoka will run mad with racing fuel . any comments .
Awesome video thanks. Have any tips for a RB25 Neo? It sucked a bit of water and bent the rod on #4, had that sorted and is currently at engineers. Have had the head worked, motor will be going back into my Nissan HardBody 4x4. Am busy buying a few upgrades from Goleby's which have a few extra parts I am wondering about now... A little guidance needed please. Thanks again for your videos
Holy smokes dropping millions of dollars worth of knowledge for everybody to enjoy thank you so much motive video I cannot say how much I enjoyed this actually I can epic video. now can anybody direct me to the equivalent video for supras specifically to Jay-Z thank you LOL. I'm trying to decide what motor to swap into my z32 .LS RB or 2JZ hmmmm
Great vid man, which radiator would you recommend? Worley, KoyoRad, etc, 48, 50 or 52 mm? and also which dual clutch works better for street and road course based on your experience? Thanks, thumbs up
We prefer having a good quality thermo fan (SPAL) not cheap, but work better than clutch fan and less drama. Our engine moves and fan hits shroud so had to change. PWR is our number one choice or radiator but we have a 48mm Koya in our R32. ONly need bigger if circuit racing
I’ll be looking to purchase 1 older JDM sports car to add to the collection. I’d like to add the iconic R34 GTR but since I’m in the states we still can’t get it for about another 4 years. The good news is that we can currently get the R32 and now the R33 😍 I’m extremely torn on whether to get an R32,R33 or an MK4 Supra not an easy decision.
Great content 👌 thank you for everything you guys share.. Gear ratio 4.11 in my stock R32 GTR looking to switch to 3.73 gears on 265/35/18 5 speed 510whp whats your opinion on 3.73 gears? Thank you
You mentioned 8k as a max rpm on rb26, what do you feel a safe max on Rb25det with stock valvetrain is? My turbo and head seemed to still be breathing fine at 7200 limit it's currently set at, with power not falling off by that rpm. What sump or sump capacity would you recommend for an rb25det with an n1 oil pump?
Smo Kabong sorry didn’t realise you can’t pick up your phone and ring people, or go on your computer and google something or go to there page on Facebook and message them. Guess you’ll have to fly ya usless fuck
Hello, I'm looking to clone this in my R33 GTR...more or less. Is the turbo a T3 or T4? Sorry if there's an easy way to tell but i'm still noobish. Also, what are your thoughts on Vband vs T3 / T4?
ITs a $6000-$10,000 exercise and the project car comes out of Andrew's pocket. Even if a sponsor gives all the parts, there is still $2000-$3000 in lines and fitting. Not a cheap exercise but has been discussed.
there's so much detail about this GT-R. the problem is i dont own one and im taking notes for nothing
We share the same problem brother

That is basically what the car's chassis/motor were engineered for and hence remains a great street car while still keeping up with numerous modern sport cars of the same class.
I've gotten around that power level with $3XXX spent on the motor side of things, and since its not enough power to brutally damage the car and blow the tyres off, its very cheap to maintain and take on track. It might not be fastest GTR around, but its very reliable, nice to drive on the street, has backseats and maintains a factory appearance which I assume can be a stretch for a MX-5 (Or similiar vehicle). To me, thats all I could ask from a sports car.
Once again, Andrew Hawkins is the MAN! Really cool video boys!
These guys are the reason Im trying to buy a 32 GTr
Amazing knowledge. Now all I need is an R32, 200k, and a great tuner shop!
Woah woah woah , are you telling me that you set up your suspension to actually improve performance ?
So it’s not just about rolling fenders , stretching tires and looking like a new born giraffe learning to stand ?
Hard to believe, right?
No grey hair back then
Andrew has had some grey hair since he was 17
01GTB Daily omg this comment is so funny. I mean how did you come up with it. It’s like you are a professional comic. It is so funny m8. Please keep it up my dog. You are the best. I mean it. Could not be better. You are better than Jesus. Better than god. Better than a catholic priest without touching kids. It’s amazing. Wow. Lol omg Snapchat insta.
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHA
I’m getting a R33 in August, because of the US import laws, and this is very helpful.
mrxklash what do you do?
Devin Merrill Insurance
these are the kind of videos that make me proud to be a aussie. #GTRFOREVER
Such a vast wealth of information in one video! Thanks fr this ☝️ Guys!
Very informative as always and a great summary of the R32 build. Thank you Andrew.
Me watches and appreciates this video and taking mental notes.
Also me looking at my garage with a 1997 honda civic and a 2014 mitsubishi mirage hatchback.
Finally, waited so long for an update on the car!
OMG great video. It's a great start for a lot of us for when we get our GTR R32.
I just wanted to say that I found this video incredibly informative. Thank you for making it!
This is how everyone should treat/mod their car for an all rounder. My supra ran a 10.7 with 420kw @133 - 1.61 60ft, 19psi, gtx35r, tein monoflex suspension and some r888 semi slicks. Only thing that ever broke was the diff (small diff) due to axel tramp. Spent about 15k total. I did the same thing with running the fuel lines as duel feed too, actually I did most things the way you did except the external fuel pump and the things that the 2js just don't need. I put on adjustable cam gears but after hours of adjustment we ended up back at 0 degrees anyway.
I came to laugh at the comments.. they are well behaved so far, great vid Man.
Bruh
I like the GTR R32 bgecause its a beautiful looking car and the sound that engine makes give me butterflies. It sounds awesome. Once there isn't a coal scuttle instead of a proper exhaust on it.
Wow thanks for doing this vid man! I've been looking for the ultimate gtr build guide for ages, this is it. Now all i need is money to buy a gtr.
I want to make a series like this but a bit different..."How to build an 8 second Skyline GT-R in the USA". Your "budget GT-R" series has been a HUGE inspiration. I've always dreamed of having a Skyline GT-R (typical American, I know...) and now that they're legal here, I will have one and I want to make it huge...NO ONE has done anything even CLOSE to what you guys are doing down there here in the US.
I'd be very interested in working in conjunction with you guys and some of the notable shops from down under. I could see the market for Skyline tuning and parts EXPLODING here in the US over the coming year or two with a bit of attention. If you guys are interested in having a presence here in the US, I'd love to hear from you.
Awesome explanation as always. Interesting that you guys made all that power with the ITBs, but this was the first thing the MCM guys removed when they fitted the Hypertune manifold.
vin18m they didn’t change for power, they changed so could ditch all the complicated idle control and poor vacuum signals and they added fly by wire.
got high 14s in my stagea fully loaded with camping gear r33 stock box 700 pounds hx52 60 pounds ms3 pro 1200 pounds built the rb25 in garage jun oil pump 26 long nose second hand pistons and rods stock head rest fabricated by me its ok buying bolt ons but much more satisfying if you make it yourself and tune it yourself besides being able to tune your own stuff is handy did that time on a tune i did on motorway up to santapod ;) net cans on for 3 hours !
Andrew - that was a really fantastic, insightful and well put together video - great work!
Agree on the head gasket and studs. mine lifted around 500rwhp and solved with studs n gasket.
Such an awesome video, I mustve watched it a dozen times to help plan my own build. Thanks for everything that you guys do!
I’m saving this video for when I buy my r32
my favourite car! if i got my hands on £100k right now, first thing id be thinking is buying a GT-R.
Nice video guys! very handy having all of the info compiled into one video.
Awesome content Andrew as usual covered all areas ! Next up a Supra one :p
Saving up for a GTR right now man
Love the content guys. Props from Canada, keep it up !
Great video.
Would really be useful to get prices for all the upgrades as many of us don't have unlimited funds.
Make more of this kind of video
Kartik Naidu we’d love to but it’s very expensive to make. If we had a million subscribers we could do them all the time.
They have, in a subset of vids related and leading up to this one, about the "project budget supercar."
always look forward to updates on this car! Still cant believe how much that car can take.
Really good content guys!!!!
misread the title as “how to build a gtr in 10 seconds”
my sadness is immeasurable and my day is ruined
Lol same
Great advice for the noobs, thumbs up guys
Just subscribed to your channel. I plan to get an R33 next year, but I find your info to be quite helpful in the future to come.
Great vid! Pretty much sums it all up.
Building a 10sec GTR definitely will not come cheap, but for anyone who wanna build one this is very informative and save a lot of experimentation
Victor Liew buying a GTR in the first place is not cheap
True to that, but no JDM cars in Malaysia is cheap considering the pay one is getting.
I love skidders. I had a 68 mustang. but I sold that. cos it needed some work to it. I sold it to a hot rod mate. that was a awesome car [ I had it for 13 years]. then I got a 1990 gts skyline black coupe . after a couple of years . the cat and mufflers was going. so I had the cat taken out. redone the exhurst, with a rear rage muffler. plus a k,n panel filter. it got a little quicker then, and I notice the idle drop.it got stolen here in Christchurch nz . I had that car for 18 years. now I got a 2005 skyline gt350 black coupe. with rear tint window and spoiler. [it looks likes motordyne g35 on you tube. same year too.] I did almost got a 92 gts-t auto. but I had nightmares if I park it up. when I come back. it,ll be gone . my gts was alarm too
Good to see the old "Croydon motorsports'" still around...back in the mid 90's they helped with an engine build issue I had and solved it... awesome bunch of guys then... Jamie Bezzina "Itsmad" still work there? hahaha Awesome vid....bet this will get some comments going.... Shame i don't have a GT-R... cos' Evo is life ;)
So where was the best setting for the stock cams with the adjustable gears, Cheers love this video. I have an rb26/30. I can see myself going for the big single
single turbo all the way :D
10
Sec car by a c6 zo6 but a tire on it bone stock and run 10.8-10.9 at 127-128
For 30k spend 10k on headers , head and cam and ported msd intake and run 139-141 n/a no boost and have a car that can out brake and handle most super cars. Good info though you broke it down really well. I think big singles have to
Much lag and a good twin set up gives you the best of both worlds big low in and responsiveness and top
End charge
i love that you are still using regural fuel lines with normal clamps. i have used an lines but only thing i have noticed is that i have less money in my pocket
One day I’ll own a gtr. For now, I’m stacking up on the info 😎👍🏼
what kind of welding system and material did you use to weld on the factory fuel rail? i tryed tig and silver soldering (probably with the wrong type of material) and broke my old rail :D.
Awesome Video Andrew :) one of the best
Such a great video! What a fun project this car has been! Tanks for sharing as always.
are both turbo's together good for 30 pounds ? if yes what is the negative for big performance from a near stocka . i rekon a good stoka will run mad with racing fuel . any comments .
its the spark
gap the plugs and put a bigger fuse for the fuel pump
So basically I can leave the stock pistons, rods and crank if I want to be in the 600-650whp area?
Very nice information thank you
Awesome video thanks. Have any tips for a RB25 Neo? It sucked a bit of water and bent the rod on #4, had that sorted and is currently at engineers. Have had the head worked, motor will be going back into my Nissan HardBody 4x4. Am busy buying a few upgrades from Goleby's which have a few extra parts I am wondering about now... A little guidance needed please. Thanks again for your videos
Great info on what’s done to this beast of a GTR
Realistically how much would it coast to run in high 10’s low 11’s
On one of these
Crd for the win
That's a great vid mate, thank you!
very interesting and informative
Holy smokes dropping millions of dollars worth of knowledge for everybody to enjoy thank you so much motive video I cannot say how much I enjoyed this actually I can epic video. now can anybody direct me to the equivalent video for supras specifically to Jay-Z thank you LOL. I'm trying to decide what motor to swap into my z32 .LS RB or 2JZ hmmmm
This is a great roadmap
Best descriptive video of an R32 GDR 😋😆jk thanks for your research and testing and sharing with us the results 🙏
Great video...Well put together !...Thanks
What if we have a after market sump? Can we use the n1 oil pump with billet gear? Or do u prefer going higher volume oil pump?
TIA
Top video mate ,sharing your trials and errors to benefit a lot of builders.
Now just wait for that Dollarmite account to get interest and I’m there !
You Owe Me A 10-Second Car
owe*
@@TYGoong Thanks I'll Fix It
Such a good video. You have really cut right through all the bullshit with this build, truly excellent work.
Great vid man, which radiator would you recommend? Worley, KoyoRad, etc, 48, 50 or 52 mm? and also which dual clutch works better for street and road course based on your experience? Thanks, thumbs up
We prefer having a good quality thermo fan (SPAL) not cheap, but work better than clutch fan and less drama. Our engine moves and fan hits shroud so had to change. PWR is our number one choice or radiator but we have a 48mm Koya in our R32. ONly need bigger if circuit racing
Great video!
Barra for 10 seconds
1000cc injectors
460 pump
stage 1 cooler
Compressor wheel mod
4inch dump
e85
Valve springs, Head studs
Done
Do they have adjustable camber arms or electronic adjustable camber arms?
Great video,Thank you for all this information.
But could you please tell us how much it coast if you don't mind
I’ll be looking to purchase 1 older JDM sports car to add to the collection. I’d like to add the iconic R34 GTR but since I’m in the states we still can’t get it for about another 4 years. The good news is that we can currently get the R32 and now the R33 😍 I’m extremely torn on whether to get an R32,R33 or an MK4 Supra not an easy decision.
I like that white Evo7 at 16:10
Great content 👌 thank you for everything you guys share..
Gear ratio 4.11 in my stock R32 GTR looking to switch to 3.73 gears on 265/35/18 5 speed 510whp whats your opinion on 3.73 gears? Thank you
Keep up the good work Andrew, would love to see you test the new Garret G25-550 turbos on this donk.
You mentioned 8k as a max rpm on rb26, what do you feel a safe max on Rb25det with stock valvetrain is?
My turbo and head seemed to still be breathing fine at 7200 limit it's currently set at, with power not falling off by that rpm.
What sump or sump capacity would you recommend for an rb25det with an n1 oil pump?
Replace the cracked block with an RB30. I want to see an episode on how to build an RB30DET
Rb30s are so played out. 2.6 or 2.8 for this one, keep it a gtr !
Me to, that’s why I started one for myself. Check out my channel.
Easy go check out rips racing in nz he’s a rb GOD. All he does is big hp rb30s
Nis5m0haterz ok yeah I'll just travel to a different country and ask someone to show me how to build an RB30DET?
Smo Kabong sorry didn’t realise you can’t pick up your phone and ring people, or go on your computer and google something or go to there page on Facebook and message them. Guess you’ll have to fly ya usless fuck
I really want to find a good balance between the two
Great info Andrew
Go for both. The true blue ozzy way.
Love to see these segments for the evo family - bring on the 4g63t
Hello,
I'm looking to clone this in my R33 GTR...more or less. Is the turbo a T3 or T4? Sorry if there's an easy way to tell but i'm still noobish. Also, what are your thoughts on Vband vs T3 / T4?
Australia is fast working it's way to the top of the tuner-tables.
Always a good watch!
Wow amazing , very Informative and helpful video.
I wish you could build a R34 GTR for me :)
If you never dump the clutch, how do you guys do launches?
Ride the clutch
Great video Andrew. Thank you! :)
Excellent video. Thank you
Hi guys, just wondering what oil you use in jet 14/ budget supercar gtr?
We used Castrol Edge 10W-60 for probably 5 years of use and then Nulon Race Oil 10W-60
How well does this guide translate to the R33 GTR?
Same same
Did you guy swap the cams without taking the timing all the way apart?
Would you consider doing a rb26 dry sump video at some point
ITs a $6000-$10,000 exercise and the project car comes out of Andrew's pocket. Even if a sponsor gives all the parts, there is still $2000-$3000 in lines and fitting. Not a cheap exercise but has been discussed.
