well then you need injectors, ecu, afm, clutch, diff, suspension.

4g's suddenly turns into a 8-10k adventure >_<

You heard the man NISMOID>>>he already got that sh*t so what a perfect scenario for an induction upgrade...

BTW i couldn't think of a more appropriate picture for you to have in ur display/profile - definately you to a tee haha.

Well from your last 3 posts, i'll gladly share it with ya >_<

Oh, and he still didnt have the injectors, presumably ECU as it wasnt mentioned, dif... So make 8k... 7k to do it all correctly.

Who said 8-10k again? Hmm... i wonder who that was. Not too far off the mark. Sure beats the seemingly un-intelligent 4grand

Un intelligent 4grand...that would be the best 4g's he could spend and who says he cant either a) fit it himself or b) get mates rates

The unintelligent money here is the 1650 he was gonna pay for a wastegate install

And also....we're missing the point here...Rami hasnt stated a budget so the possibilities are endless

10 points for trying NISMOID

All this coming from a guy who LOVES to let mechanics THRASH THE SH*T outa his bomby As* car

- An internal gate screamer pipe is just an exhaust leak, and won't get you the sound you want. (buy a split dump then cut it.. >_<)

- $1650 to put an external gate on your turbo sounds about right. There's a lot of work involved. They need to modify your manifold (spacer or otherwise) to fit the gate, then they need to weld up the holes in your turbo where the internal gate is, then they need to modify or fabricate a new dump/front pipe.... so ummm.. yeah, whole lot of work for a "bit of noise"....

- 14psi through a screamer sounds shit....

Wilch is spot on. $1650 is a about what it would cost to put one on. If you are going to spend $4g on a kit get a 6Boost kit, at least you will get a decent manifold unlike a reworked std one in the other kit. As for Rigolis they were the only blokes that i would take my car to before they moved back down to Sydney. The quality of there work was always exceptional and never had a problem with them.

Youve seen cheaper. Good on you, just because joe blogs down the road will dodgy something up, doesnt mean its worth it. Dont know about 6boost kits http://www.performanceforums.com/forums/sh....php?t=67194195 there you go. Im sure FStr32 will have something critical to say about that to or that you can get something cheaper but ive got one at the quality is excellent.

haha...chris is it. well chris, i merely said that i hadnt heard of the 6boost kit (i wasnt bagging it out like you made out i was) thanks for the education and stating the obvious but i'll give it a miss. I dont usually comment on these forums and only feel the need to challenge ppl when i feel that they are bein as*es. Forums are used for helpful discussions...not for ppl to excercise their superior knowledge in a way that makes other people feel inferior. Some ppl on these forums really need to take a reality check, we are all skyline enthusiasts here. By being critical about everything i am simply trying to make a point. Its bloody annoying isnt it...now you know how me and other ppl feel. --------> END OF STORY.

Mate have a read of the original question and then what you wrote in the thread and you will realise who the ass is. It wasnt till Wilch made a post that the question got an answer. I personal would go for a turbo kit as well but he wasnt asking that was he. So why dont you just answer the question instead of attacking other peoples opinions.

Mate...are you retarded? What i just said was that i was PURPOSELY being an ass in this topic so that some of you get the point about how f*kin annoying it is when other ppl do the same thing except they are serious! quote - "i am just trying to MAKE A POINT".

Wilch partly answered the question...No rami wasn't originally after a big hp turbo kit but i only suggested a turbo kit upgrade becuase i didnt see any point in him faulking out $1650 on a wastegate install when it wasnt even necessary for the mods he had. My suggestion was more of a "further down the track" suggestion if you get what i mean...who in there right mind would unnecessarily spend $1650 for something they didnt need...i know i wouldnt!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By MBS206 · Posted

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
