i currently have a r33 s1 gtst with a cat back exhaust,pod filter and bov i was wandering what would be best do do first i was thinking of getting a front mount intercooler however i was wandering what i need to do to get a full turbo back system i dont know much so any help would be great ive been reading around and dont understand a whole lot :blink:

My list would be

1. Coilovers Or springs + shocks (can get d2 for about 1500 install in perth)

2. Heavy Duty Clutch ($800-$1000 install)

3.full exhuast ($1000-$1200)

4.Fmic ($250-$300 for a china-cooler and about $500-$600 for piping)

5.Rims (anywhere from $500 to over 2k)

An exhuast system in a turbo car goes like this

Turbo --> Dump --> Front Pipe ---> Cat ---> Tip

so basciy u have the cat-back which means to get a turbo back system u will need to buy a front pipe and dump pipe.

You can get a Dump and front all-in-one pipe for around $300-$500

-I think rims are important not becuase they make the car look good but they increase the size of tyre on your car which helps with traction, and most of the time when you get rims you buy good tyres too

How much are you looking to spend?

Cheers Michael :blink:

well i hav 17's with brandnew rubber the rims arnt special but i guess there sumthing and the suspension i bought the car from paul at autoworx and he told me the suspension was a racing type which were adjustable from what i hav felt its very hard sorry for my lack of knowledge im still young

npz sammie :blink: we all start somewhere :)

here are link to a dump + front pipe

also check out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p?showforum=141

as there are alot of Business Traders which supply the parts your looking for.

are you from perth?

and maybe u could help me with another question i been wanting to ask but havnt posted yet, im confused with boost how it works and what boost controllers do and how people talk about 7psi,12 psi etc and how they can adjust it

if you can take a photo of the suspension tops, or the suspension itself (turn the wheel so you can see under the car more)

FMIC, will not really give you more power by itself, it will allow you to run more boost which in turn will give you more power

i say go for getting a full turbo back exhuast system and you should gave abit of power

and maybe u could help me with another question i been wanting to ask but havnt posted yet, im confused with boost how it works and what boost controllers do and how people talk about 7psi,12 psi etc and how they can adjust it

ok i give this one a shot, im not an pro so it may not be 100% correct but should give you an idea;

a turbo compress the air flowing into the engine, so you can get more air into the engine.

Boost is basicly the compressed air being pushed into the motor, so the more boost you run the more compressed air being pushed into the engine BUT that doesnt mean you will be getting more power. each turbo has its own Efficiencies range, which for a rb25 turbo is around a max of 12 to 14psi once you go over that the turbo will not make anymore power or you risk blowing it up as the wheels inside the turbo arnt steel.

A boost controller controllers the level of boost, you can get Electronic boost controllers or Manual ones ---> EBC you can adjust the boost lvl inside the car and manual ones you have to open the bonnet and turn it

michael

alrite thanx alot um mayb in a private message or on here u could maybe explain to me about boost how it works etc psi and stuff ?

i see what else i can think of and send you a pm later tonight :blink: i uses to be a young sauwa member and i remember how much there is to learn about turbo cars and skylines and how hard it can be at times :)

after reading through some guys alot of people recomend to finish off my exhaust do you think this is a good idea ? iwant something to give a little bit more power and does anyone know roughly how much a dump pipe and a front pipe will cost me ?

great well im defintely considering buying the split dump and front pipe from the link above im not sure if i hava high flow cat i will have to speadk to the dealership where i got it from but i will do that first get the front and split since it will give me some kw's and i was wandering how come batmbl is selling it for so cheap ? i was looking at the xspeed site just a normal hks front pipe is around $600 and a turbo dump pipe is around $450 ? any reason why batmble is selling for so cheap ?

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
