Derek's GTR build

[RedGTR]

wow. im am severaly impressed. you actually do your own work. to many people on here let others do their work for them. its sad. It inspires me to be honest.

What are the specs of the wheels? i love them. and what model exactly?

[RHDskyline]

Some people don't have the knowledge or time to do there own work. So they get some other people to do it for them. It seems to be a common thing with so many shops around.

[derk]

eh, i always assumed most of the guys on here worked on their own cars..

the wheels are Buddy Club P1 Racing QF, the forged ones, not the shitty cast ones weighs less than a TE37 in the same size

18x10+12 wrapped in 265/35/18 Advan A048 Medium compound

You'd be surprised man. i do everything my own. i dont trust anybody with my ****. i bought my turbos from you. r33 n1's. which i think are actually oem r33 or r32. dunno where you got them. please prove me wrong! Everyone in these parts is too damn stupid to understand GTR's. or even to understand that all the bolts and nuts have to be put on! (thanks 4XToys). anyway. I was going to buy an engine from you too. but ended up buying a stock one from jdmsource locally. now im jsut beginning to build it. put on the turbos i got from you, tomei dump pipes, n1 manifolds, greddy suction kit and hks intercooler piping.

But i really love the look of those wheels they are wicked. wonder where i could pick some up?

[derk]

what makes you think they are OEM? :S

there is no doubt that those are R33 N1's, check the A/R on the turbine side, they are N1.

and your best bet for the P1 QF's are probably in Japan, they come up once in a blue moon in 18x10+12..

[RedGTR]

well somone told me that the exhaust wheel on oem and n1's look completely different. I'll pm you the deets instead of jamming up your thread!

Thanks for the info on the wheels too. they shouild sit really nice with the alignment done. (another thing i do myself so i can do it perfect, or to any specs i want )

[derk]

heh, yeah my auto teacher from my old highschool just got a brand new fancy alignment machine and said I could use it if i wanted to

[Rapier46]

Nice. I don't trust other people that do alignments. i get to many at my work, that have had it done somewhere else, they are cutting tired so i re align it. and its got like a quarter inch of toe or something. There's a difference between "running alignment machine", and "doing and alignment".

[cschepp]

very nice build. I'm very jealous of the quality used in this build. By the time i am done in my build i hope that it will be half as nice as this one. Where did you end up getting your sard fuel rail and injectors? please let me know i will end up buying similar

[derk]

i usually get my **** from Yahoo Japan, get acquainted with an exporter that can bid for you.

that or you could get Adam or Daryl to order those parts for you

[derk]

so I woke up to a loud knock on my door this morning...

twas the mail woman, she had a big package for me, I signed for it in my half asleep stuper, put it down without looking and went back to bed for another 2 hours.

came down again for breakfast and completely forgot that I had a package there, so it was a pleasant surprise!

tore the cardboard open instantly and found these........

TADA! Nismo Group A/ Le Mans RR581 Turbos!

[archaeic_bloke]

how are those compared to the 2860-5's?.. are these the -10's?

[Velders]

Nice choice on the trubos, can't go wrong with them.

No they aren't the -10's http://homepage.ntlworld.com/tbroom/Turbos.htm

[NismoS-tune]

the GT/Lemans RR581 turbos are very nice. I used to have a set before upgrading to 2860-5s for obvious reasons.

Anyways, The RR581 are 360 degree thrust bearing turbos, they're slightly smaller (possibly due to older design) than HKS 2530s/2860-5 but flow more than -7 (or was it -9?). They're pretty good. I wouldn't run these without a BOV because of the bearing design when it comes to shuffle. Wingnut made 531whp (mustang dyno) on these turbos with shell 91 pump gas, no water meth, no stroker, 87.5mm pistons and stock head while running a really rich tune. You can't go wrong with these when the others are too expensive. You should be able to safely see 1.5 bar on these IF they're in excellent shape but when used, they do get worn.

I don't believe they make these anymore so they must be in used good condition?
