My R33

[dane spec33]

Hi, everyone

I'v had a 95 r33 gtst for 8 months now and like most people that buy a skyline, mine hasnt skipped a beat since first driving it many months ago.

As with everything though the power bug has bitten, and rims a catback exhaust, air pod and medium size hks fmic just doesnt do it for me know. So..... with close consideration of power and street, track use, this is what my list looks like at the moment

Hybrid fmic

KKR 480 turbo (internal gate)

high mount man

bigger injectors

walbro fuel pump

greddy plenum

tein super st coilovers

apexi power fc djetro

AVC-r

twin plate clutch

and other little things, guages etc

In another month or so, new 18 inch rims, bodykit (not over the top) 2 way lsd, hopefully that will keep me sustained for a bit. Living so close to the motorplex should make it down for few runs on the drag strip.

Once i get dyno readout's il post them up, wish me luck

hello and welcome to the forums

[mitchy_]

nice mod list you got there..

im in the process of chucking on a new turbo, and a few other bits and pieces, similar specs to yours.

Apexi dosn't do djetro for rb25s, the last i checked.

KKR turbos are cheap but have seen some issues, i'd reccomend you to go with bigger brands hks, garrett,etc.

Fix your final hp, and work from there, a too big fmic will cause some drop in performance and some lag. So check that u're not gettin too big a fmic for your power figures, big is not alway better.

My .5 cents worth

Good luck on your ride!!

Show us the stuffies when u're done!

P/s: If you're gonna be pushing some serious power, you might need an engine rebuild with forgies, sooner or later. Save some $$ for that. And you definitely need a new fuel pressure regulator... of course if u do it with a performance shop, they'd tell u that for sure.

Rev the car may have already had them on when he bought it...

Good mods, once upon a time I thought a list like that would be as far as it was for me, but a ecu & turbo upgrade, then an engine build later I'm starting to wonder if I've changed my mind.

I object to your cosmetic mods when they are just for show, but it seems that's just me Good luck!

Cheers, guys, and gal for the replies,

thanks for giving me advice and letting me know what you think, it really helps when your moding your car. Without alot of first hand knowledge myself (and none of my friends with an import turbo car). The only problem with that, is that everyone has there own opinions. Whether is through friends, family or first hand accounts each person puts good cases forward, in the end it is the owner of the car that has the ultimate decision. I'm not diving into modding my car with the perception that nothing will go wrong, because being on here and reading some tradgedy stories of engines blowing up and turbo's failing it comes to a point where you do realise that the world is not a perfect place.

Now i have some thinking and number crunching to do,

Early next year when work clears up, im sure to join skyline WA and hope to enjoy everything that this culture has to offer.
