^^^^^^^^^ with some luck^^^^^^^^^^

And what is that supposed to mean?? My R33GTS-T is running 12 pound and has everything on the list EXCEPT the new turbo and I am running an easy 205 rwkw. I could push it further but it is a daily driver so it is in a safe region of tune.

lol u seem to be learning a lot every day.....good on ya

Ahahah learning is good, its excellent lots of people here really know there stuff so where better to ask questions, ive looking at prices like on average how much it would cost me just for parts without labour and i decided it would just be easier to by a skyline with everything on it.

Do yourself a favor and stay stock the car's already a weapon. Now just add those little things that make it look grate and ride how you want it. GTS-T power isnt that bad to start with.

Thats so true a mate of mine has a 33 gts-t and that thing flies according to me and its stocko.

but who knows when the stock turbo/turbos will let go????pushing it too hard will definately decrease its lifespan.....especially when its got ceramic wheels. that is something you can not control.

only with lower compression can you run that kind of boost

eg: a metal head gasket

u can run whatever the thickness of the gasket is

eg; 1.8mm gasket=up to 1.8bar of boost

this is refering to a stock engine internals setup and many 9 or 10 second cars in usa etc run stock internals and massive boost

incorrect

you have to have all the correct measures inplace to run bigger boost like 20psi+ injectors, computer, front mount, big fuel pump and fuel system is probably most crytical to stopping detonation. and a good tune. from what i know anyway.....correct me if im wrong.

with a healthy motor. Ull just need a fuel pump, fmic, full turbo back exhaust, 11psi, air filter :P 200+rwkw wont be hard to see :D

Ahhh thats good to hear because after a certain amount of kw's you gotta start upgrading brakes suspension etc etc cause traction starts to get a little dodgy and i dont wanna spend that much money 200 rwkw would make me happy.

You know, I agree 100%. When i was buying the thing I thought I would mod it, but now I have decided why, its quick enough stock and I love the idea of reliability. Will be staying stock engine wise for sure, not really interested in spending money on it at all now, maybe fix the silly low ride height and it will be plenty.

i just wich the stock turbo had a steel exhaust wheel. mine pulls like a train on stock turbo at 14psi. i have a remapped ecu. on the stock ecu and at 12psi i got 204kw. and 14psi feels noticably faster. i'm just saving up for a new turbo. i would like to get to about 230kw..... till i get there, then i'll want more. when i forst got it i said that i'd be happy with 200kw. now that i'm at 200kw i want more.

when i got the car it was bog stock and i found it dissapointing compared to my last car. i thought it was going to be quicker (my last car had about the same power as a stock r33). then i stuck an exhaust on. it was a bit better. then some more boost. then i stuck a fmic on it. better again, but still not enough. did dump pipe and cat. then dyno'd at 204kw. then got a hold of a remapped ecu. made a tiny difference. then screwed some more boost into. its fun now, but could be a bit better.

get it to wheelspin uncontrollably, then screw in another 5psi!

jus get urself a set of dba slotted discs and blitz pads for ultimate stopping power. I have a set of coil overs in my car with drift pineapples and what not in my car. Traction isnt an issue :thumbsup: unless u dump 2nd at 6,000rpm then you will be in trouble. But none the less. Puts power down very well, Handle awesome on the street. Very safe and reliable 200+kw

you can still build a highly-modified car with reliability at the same time, as long as the right things got done by the right people.......

Yeah you just have to be willing to spend the money to do it right the first time, but I figure by that time I could just get something which is quicker stock out of the box :thumbsup:

I feel that a lot of mods are a compromise though, like heavy clutches, tight diffs and hard suspension being a compromise on drivability and comfort, aftermarket ecu's being a compromise on some factory drivability features and fuel consumption etc.

Its all and good if you like these things are willing to accept them, but I just feel i dont really have the time of day for them any more.

yep , the RIGHT things by the RIGHT PEOPLE being the key words there

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
