Ok, i have a stock as a rock Black S1 R33. Only mods are 3" turbo back system and a turbo timer.....:wave:

I have $10k to spend on the motor(90K on the clock), What would you do. I'm just after peoples opinions.

Gonna do some reserch over the next 2-3 weeks, then see where i'm at.

id sell it, and buy an r32.

then id start modding.

Buy a GTR

I'd take both pieces of advice and add both together - buy a R32 GTR. :wave:

Otherwise figure out what you want from the car first then start buying appropiate parts. Otherwise I'd so something like this

$1500 - PFC + Tune

$2000 - Tein Super Street Coilovers

$1000 - Whiteline goodies: swaybar, camber kit, castor kit etc.

$1000 - Brakes: rotors, pads, fluid, cylinder stopper etc.

$1000 - Injectors

$300-400 - Z32 AFM

Rest of the money use to choose the appropiate turbo setup. This doesn't include labour cost for all of the above so make sure you keep that into account as well.

It all depends on what you want out of ur engine doesnt it.

FMIC

Pod (CAI + Heatshield as well)

EBC

PFC or aftermarker managment perhaps

Upgraded Clutch for power increase

Fuel Pump

Injectors

Turbo (perhaps 2540 or 3037)

Headgasket

Forged Pistons if u wanted.

** tune for the above parts ** $$

What about suspension and brakes though.

Perhaps new rotors / pads

Coilovers or replace worn out componets at least.

Prob more you can do.. but not to much money left after that i would imagine.

was also thinking about an engine kit from topracing

Stage 3.

CP pistons and rings

Eagle H beam connecting rods

Nissan gasket kit

Tomei metal head gasket

Nissan water/oil pump

No need.. The engines are tough.

Slap a thicker headgasket on to it, while its off drop a set of 260dur cams and springs in to it, may as well as you do have 10k to 'blow' :O

Springs are iffy.. .Some are fine with 20+psi others begin floating at 20psi.. So its a small outlay while the heads off.. Hell while its off you may as well give the head a tidy up, light port/polish valve deshroud. :)

While thats being done you'll be waiting for your:

Injectors, PFC, exhaust, fmic, pod and box to land at your door step.

Drop a gt30r .82 internal gate on to it and dial in 20 odd psi.

Possibly have the stock exh. manifold extrude honed while your there. Sly33 has just done this and picked up quite a bit of flow through the manifold, it shall be interesting to see how the increased flow is reflected in the 'real world'.

Note I've concentrated on getting air in and out of the motor, a motor is an airpump, make it more efficient at pumping air and it will make more power easier and more reliably.

With a good tune it will hold together (well they do here in Adelaide) with a bad tune it will break a piston or 6.

Remember the 5k for the parts does not include labour... The machining and labour costs will absorb at least 2.5k to do it properly.

sorry I should change it to 16 :O but 20 is a lot on std pistons you would need to run 11:1 A/F ratios. Also you would leave the rev limit at 7,000 with std rods

By running a richer mixture your essentially shifting the peak combustion pressure to a later crank degree. Resulting in less chance of detonation and lower combustion temperatures.

The same safety can be achieved with greater efficiency by running less ignition timing.

Richer mixtures at higher power levels are generally used to ensure each cylinder runs a safe afr due to poor plenum distribution and unequal cylinder reversion caused by poor unequal exh. manifolds.

Thats my view anyway. :O

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
