Hey,

i have had my car for bout 3 weeks and its a

Nissan Skyline R33 GTST series 2

Manual

101,000 kms

The mods so far and that i got wid the car is as follows -

3" stainless steel turbo back exhaust

600x300x75 FMIC

Apexi Power FC

Apexi Commander

Apexi EBC

K&N pod filter in stainless steel cold air box

Bosch 040 fuel pump (in tank and quiet)

Larger radiator (34mm thick v factory 25mm thick)

Stainless steel radiator guide

Strut braces front and rear

Autometer boost and oil temp on A pillar

Dyno at 204.5kw

Now my goal is for 250kw at the rear wheels, mayb a little more but no less. And its a daily driver. and i dont want much lag either....

What is the best way to do it given the mods that the car already has?

Any idea of the cost also?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

You need to do some reading up on the different turbos available to you. 3 weeks ownership is not long enough to understand all you need to make an informed decision.

Check out the RB25 turbo upgrade thread at the top of the forced induction section for ideas.

  • 3 weeks later...

a lot of people get really hung up on turbo choice. One guy says this turbo and another says to use his favourite brand. Learn how to read a compressor map and go crunch some numbers. That will quickly point u in the right direction. From there you can make a wise and educated choice. Once you are in the right area, it WILL save you heaps, and not wast cash. I've been there done that!! I've a very similar set-up ATM and i'm very happy with my GT3040R. slight lag and solid top end power.. Hope it helps.

I'm aiming for the same target. 250.

I've bought but not installed the following :

Z32 with a Tomei plug - New from someone offloading - $250

Mixed 2nd hand and new 480cc S15 injectors - $500 (but have 2 extra)

2nd hand HKS 2535 - $1200.

These plus a retune ($$ ??) should get me there.

PS. There's a Highflow GCG for sale right now in parts section.

That would do the trick.

R31Nismoid - A New diff ! Oh crap! :)

I believe Bass Junky (before cams) didnt have too bad of a setup.

Bit of time ago now... he would know :cheers:

He put the cams in before the highflow. Also that is the R34 highflow, not the R33 one. I think there is about 15rwkw difference between the 2.

At 250rwkw you aren't going to win any dyno competitions?

Thats all that peak figure means. It's a peak power figure rather pointless except to determine necessary limits of fuel flow etc.. Why you want that figure is more important.

Ask a different set of questions like..

* What do you want to do with the car from a performance perspective?

* Are you trying to achieve any kind of real performance benchmarks? (like a 1/4 mile time or lap time).

A bit off topic but i was under the impression that the diff was a fairly hardy unit and could take more power than 250kw before it goes bang

I was thinking the same thing. has anyone on the forum had troubles with their diff going around this power level?

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
