Talk to Leon about mods and tuning. I've known him for many years. Done plenty of work with him.

You won't get any better in this district.

Post a pic of your 33 Jake, might have seen you around

check out my post in the newbies thread as theres pictures there. but yeah i've got a pretty stock black 2 door R33 gtst, standard wheels also so yeah easy to spot...

also cheers i'll look into that, any mods that you guys recommend to do first?

Will do. I can't really comment i don't know alot about the R series liners but i'm sure most of the boys in here know their stuff and can help you out.

I have done CAI first with a high flow upper plenum, got springs + rims on the way and doing exhaust last. I try not to draw attention so i'm doing exhaust last aha.

around 2 months or so, normally fairly quite haha, but i did find a guy in a black or gunmetal skyline a few weeks back and had a bit of a drag up river street industrial area end.. not sure if thats one of you guys?

i'd love to do my mown work just sucks that i dont have a shed or the gear to do most of the work, plus little knowledge is a factor haha. I'm not sure what i'd like to do maybe, forge the engine, get a new ecu and fuel management, larger turbo. i'd probably be happy with that haha.

Forged internals are a bit extreme unless your thinking of running 350+ rwkw.

Realistically the stock engine is fine up to 300rwkw, and some survive even higher power then that with proper maintenance and supporting mods.

Doing a forged engine without the tools or knowledge to do any of it yourself is going to cost you somewhere in the region of $10,000 once you have your turbo, ECU, engine parts then work out if your doing all that work your gonna need a better oil system setup, fuel setup etc etc. The list will grow

Not trying to pick at your plan, just saying its alot of money you might not need to be spending.

Best way to do it is in this order.

1. Front mount intercooler, intake and exhaust. (Leon)

2. ECU (Powerfc, Vipec or Link G4) (Tuner)

3. Injectors (Tuner or Leon)

4. Turbo (NOT OFF EBAY, and not from some kebab shop owner) but talk to people that know what they are talking about. The best person is your tuner. (Leon and Tuner)

5. Drive it around until the engine dies or you want 350rwkw+ and have the money.

6. Either replace engine with another standard, or spend $15k rebuilding forged.

Is it a 4 door with a pretty shitty paintjob? Because i'm quite sure that thing is near or higher than 400rwkw

with the stupid nuts hanging from the tow hook on the back?

heard him bragging about how much power it had one day, and I thought..... It's still a 4 door R33

Epic Fail

Adding those gay ass nuts on the back, thats just a whole nother level of gayness

i'm not sure, but the guy that drives it looks a bit dodgy lol. I just heard off a mate it's got crazy power but i've never seen him gun it.

I dont really know what he's like, I just got a bad first impression from him.

plus I hate those F#@#R#@$ hanging prop things. Dont know how people think they look cool/good lol

Also if anyone is chasing parts for there car and want a part number (up to R34 is all I can access AFAIK) then let me know

I have got Nissan Fast working on my laptop, and its easier to give Nissan a part number then let them figure out what your talking about. Just need VIN number to search parts

i'm not sure how many doors as it was behind me and stayed behind me haha.

also i wasn't sure how much the standard internals could hold. i was just assuming that bigger turbo meant better internals =/.. i have a front mount and spitfire coils.. but other then that i have no idea on what my car has done to it.. any of you guys wanna check it out and tell me? haha

25's will hold up to 300rwkw with std internals no problem

If you do everything right and look after the engine you can shoot past this figure, but above 300rwkw is basically anyone's guess. Could last forever, could last a couple of weeks. A good tune and good servicing goes along way to keeping your engine healthy

Direct wired my fuel pump today. Seems to hold steady 18-19psi boost now instead of surging between 17 and 19

Needs a retune now, into the high 10's on my AFR's now lol

ahh nice to know that haha, also one of my mates has a spare hks intake manifold.. can i bolt that on assuming that everything lines up right. and not have to get a tune?

HKS intake manifold?

Not a Greddy one?

And I would at least take it and check the AFR's. If it's a Greddy like mine (well rip off version) then your changing the airflow into the engine, so it may or may not affect the tune. I had mine tuned after Plenum got installed, but I was running Power FC before this. Stock ECU is pretty safe with AFR's etc. Just get it checked out

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
