SC VH45DE in a R33 Skyline

[PalmerWMD]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!.

Fred..

[1993TanJ30]

Agreed!!!

Your the man! I'm going to say right around 375 at the wheels!

Thats a serious setup! I like what I see! And I know you bought the huge *** cooler - because down the road the motor is coming back out, and getting FORGED, right?

So we can see 12-14lbs of boost, and 450+ WHP

I wanna see some videos of this thing drifitng already, and the sounds she makes - must sound beautiful!

[Oatmealman]

is it still awd,if so thats sweet,but it not good luck getting that power to the ground with out peeling out,oh btw nice skyline

[94sky]

my my John you do get around

I have seen this car in the flesh and it is awesome ... sounds soo good.

nothing beats that V8 rumble

Hehe, yes yes i do. The people on these forums helped me out when i first put the engine in the car... there just isnt anyone in australia that knows much about these engines.

Almost done:

[sean8564]

Hey what did you do with the Rb25 was A turbo model. Also i like it it is coming along nicely I bet it will be a gas drinker with that supercharger on like my Rb when it goes into boost I get no Gas milage.

Don't forget to put the CAS back to plug that hole.

hehe yeah it was sent away to the people that are buiilding the ECU for it so they know what the outputs are.

[DAEDALUS]

Pretty custom ECU! So you're keeping the CAS functional? What about other major EFI components...MAF, FP regulator, VVT, etc? No emissions stuff I assume.Also, what are the 2 heat exchangers in front of the radiator? Oil and transmission? AC? Thanks for sharing.

Or, even better...Is it an aftercooler?

[Megaseth]

the little one is an oil cooler, comes with the SC package. the bigger one looks like a transmission cooler. are you guys running the Q45 auto transmission?

[turtl631]

I like it, Nissan muscle R33s are my favorite skylines too, so that just makes it better.

[94sky]

No supercharger package for this one everything is custom made, One is oil cooler and one is transmission cooler.

Its still the Q45 Auto. And ill surprise some of u by saying the oil cooler is the active suspension cooler out of the Q45 half cut we got modified a little.

Still waiting for ECU

[450zxtt]

very good work.perhaps you will encourage these q guys to step up and sc their q's.talk is good but action looks better.450zxttvh45dett power,baby.

[94sky]

well if this works well, im going to seriously consider making these as kits... would there be alot of interest from you guys??

[450zxtt]

quite sure alot of them are interested...but getting them to perhaps purchase a kit,now,that is an entirely different thing.more people have wanted to talk about the 450zxtt than actually build it.i dont think mark cookson could get 10 people together for a group buy on the vh45/z manual adaptor plate.it was offerred for less than $500 and works great.450zxtt

[94sky]

How does your gearbox handle the power? and can i get in contact with this person who does the adapter plates? and will he do another one up?

[450zxtt]

thats me,john.automotive eXtreme engineering.first and still only 450zxtt in the world.i think you emailed me a few months back.our intent,however,is to not do any one-offs.the z32 manual transmission is quite tough.who did you think 450zxtt was?a.x.e. power,baby!450zxttvh45dett power,baby.

Yours insnt the only one, there is supposed to be one getting around in sydney somewhere, and thats been for a while..

[Jesda]

There's a few VH45-powered Nissans down under. One in particular was a Nissan Patrol. Kinda neat seeing that plenum under the hood of a truck.

Ive heard it from some very reliable sources, there is also that i have seen with my own eyes a 450ZX non turbo here, and a twin turbo vh45 powered s14 200sx, not sure what the they call them over your side of the world.

What makes u so sure yours is the only one..??

[DAEDALUS]

I think my favorite tt is the one in the 240Z in Japan. The intake pipe bends were welded together from probably dozens of thin wedges of tubing. It is Michelangelo's David of the Nissan world.You guys down under really impress me with how adventurous you are. It seems custom work there is a lot cheaper than it is up here for some reason. I can't find a reputable shop that will take down a head by .004" for less than $200 here. Almost worth it to buy my own damn mill.

I dont mean to offend nor pick a fight, but i have also heard rumours of some crazy things in japan, i once found searching the net another VH45 powered 33 in japan but have since never been able to come across it again. Mine could well be the only one but im not going to make that claim as i have no idea.

As for custom work, my conversion if done by a shop was quoted at 10g's australian to put the vh45 in.. drive in drive away, and i was told by a reputable shop that i wouldnt have change from 20g's australian to put this supercharger on, without an intercooler and some of the extra stuff we have done. Im just fortunate enough to manage an engineering workshop and have the facilities to build stuff myself.

rumours of crazy things in japan...vh45 powered (z)33s in japan...we are all familiar with the same lovely cars and rumoured vehicles,and give them their due props.your humility is commendable,however,we give you yours as well.like it or not,until someone presents another one,yours is probably the only one.especially since these installs are going for 10k as you say,sc for 20k.and when that car arrives,-i know this sucks for you-but you will probably have been the first.jesus doesnt mind.enjoy it.who knows whats out there?who cares?this is the internet,g.by the way,vh45 (z)33s,rumours,450zxs,450zts and such are not 450zxtts.just had to throw that in there.no need to jump off of your high horse just because i am jumping on and riding my high horse.we have two of the nicest,most unique horses...in the world!

well said, unfortunately i know as you do, once someone has done it, the rest will follow, since the birth of my car 18 months, there has been the previously mention vh powered cars, the Z32 was the first to follow mine here in aus and i was greatly dissapointed as the uniqeness had been lost, although it isnt a skyline, and now, i have seen pictures of an R33 in perth with an ls1 in it... although this doesnt bother me as much, because the LS1's we get hear are absolute dog heaps as GM australia does away with everything good and fills them up full of the cheapest available local gear.... And the fact that its no longer an all nissan vehicle..

You should See Aries's car his S-14 has a LT1 in it and it runs like a bat out of hell. that Supercharged V-8 powerd skyline should do the Same. There is a local guy here that took a S-13 and put a VK45DETT into it and another cat put a 5.6 liter Titan V-8 into his 280ZX check out top hat performance they put a 308 into a 280ZXhttp://www.tophatperformance.com
