Well there are ways around SEVS for sure. Easiest way is importing it as a personal import if you know someone who is coming from Japan to come and live in australia.

R33's aren't bad cars at all for drifting. Maybe a tad heavy but I know of a lot of people who use them and drift very well in them. Only reason people tend to stay away from them is because they are once again pretty expensive cars to buy and a bit more to fix as well.

RB26's are more expensive because of the high initial cost of the motor itself. Internals aren't too bad but when it comes to buying turbos, cost of installation and other factors they tend to be a lot more expensive. By all means a RB26 would be better for drifting because of its twin turbo setup giving it superior low down torque but your not going to make that much more power than what a RB25 would considering its price.

hmmmm yeah im strating to think more and more about keeping mine, im just a bit of a perfectionist, thats why i was looking at a hybrid. like i didnt want teh car to become the limiting factor rather than the driver if you know what i mean.

well i think ill put it up for sale but if i dont get the price i want, then i guess ill just throw a metal head gasket on it and then crank some more boost through it, mwahahahhaha

oh and thanks for your help baz, really appreciate it, hoopefully ill c u on the circuit some time soon

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
