hi all

my best mate has a r33 gtst with 80,000ks on it. it currently has a HKS front mount and full 3 inch exhaust which is jasma from memeory, has split dump and front pipe also.

its only runnning 7 psi at present.

basically he is looking to get 200 rwkw without going to an aftermarket ECU, is this possible.

what are the usual steps of getting 200 rwkw?

what are people's thoughts on fitting a VG30 turbo to this engine i isnt it much of an upgrade like it is on a rb20?

any help is appreciated, as i am a toyota man and getting 200rwkw from my 1j back in the day was a front mount and a exhuast.

seems to be more of a science with an rb25.

thanks in advance

My friend with a 1JZ manual soarer got 170rwkw after exhaust, intercooler and CAI and SAFC tune Guess it all depends on the dyno.

I just got 172rwkw on a conservative dyno (R33gtst - manual) running 10psi, R34 intercooler (still SMIC), Powerfc and tune, exhaust. Average power is very nice.

My 170rwkw compared to the soarer 170rwkw is so different. I guess the weight difference helps my car aswell.

200rwkw is pushing the limits of the stock turbo

For most making power out of the standard ECU is like pushing sh*t up a big hill. It is probably the part that is holding the car back the most.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
