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?

    • 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
    • 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. 
    • 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.
