hey everyone, just purchased a skyline gtst m spec s2 sunroof, man, white and stock as a rock standard exhaust and everything. goes very well quite impressed and im going to look after it like a gem. been reading alot of forums on this site and see that the rb25 gets some good power easily. a few mods i dont really understand like safc and things like that. so i was wondering what mods a turbo back exhaust, fmic, cai, pod and 9 psi would make on a healthy engine and what is a top notch perfomance shop that specialise in r25's. Also if there is a good site where it tells u what all different mods mean and how they affect the car.

Thnaks for your time

Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, pod, more boost should see you around 180kw range.. With a fair few flat spots, and your car running rich.

So in this case, you have a few options..

One is to tune your car properly with an aftermarket engine management, such as Apexi Power FC...

With that all tuned up, you should hit above 200kw.. Dont forget to purchase a new fuel pump also..

Depending on where you live, check your state thread for details on workshops etc etc..

Heres a few sites that might help you!!

http://nissanskyline.6te.net/

Ok i only found one. .There was a site which had details about what each mod does and how you should go about doin it. Cant find the link anymore.. hmmm

Anyways use the search button here and you will find thousands of threads!!

Gdluck..

5 grand??

Power Fc-Brand new - 1.2k-1.5k..

They have stopped making the power fcs, so its gonna be so hard to find one!!

OR, if you have the dosh asap.. Email [email protected] for a power fc!!

N i mean ASAP!!

Tuning ahould be about 600-650 max..

Have a read of the sticky thread: Forced Induction Guide

It has links to a dozen thread that a person new to the scene should read.

Goes over basic mods, what works, what power to expect, what problems occur, and how to fix them.

Without a doubt all the best info you will find is right here in this section :P

thanks nabil thats really awesome power for realistically around 5k fitted.. i thought rajab was prettty good but c &d sound like the place to go. how do u go for reliability issues. i am interested for your apexi SAFC but bit tight for funds due to buying the car i want around a daily 200rwkw. would that keep up with a gen3 clubby you reckon

powerfc is not being made anymore right?

my car currently has a turbo back exhaust and pod and is at 7/9psi - making 164rwkws.....

Perhaps keep the stock air box (i just got the pod cos i luv that sound :dry: ) and maybe the power might be just a teeny bit higher?

This is my plans for the car (already got exhaust & pod) - will be investing in a decent front or side mount intercooler, get one of slides high flow turbos, fuel pump, clutch, was going to get the powerfc (but i dunno what to get now that thats no longer in production), boost controller and upgrade the AFM. Not sure what I will be looking at in terms of power, but that will be found out on the dyno. From what I have read, this is what most people do anyway.....

Gen 3 Clubby - :dry::O V8 LS1 :O

Their overated...but there are some beasts out there pumping

over 300rwkw...lets seem them put that power to the ground!!!

With 198.9rwkw on 10psi I ran 13.7 @ 105.5mph with 2.36 60ft (lots of wheel spin)

The mph I got is really a 13.0 -13.2 1/4mile pass.

My last run at calder I lined up a Monaro CV8Z with exhaust ectractors and cold air

it ran 15.1 at 97mph...I left it standing.

200rwkw is very responsive and reliable on the street!!!

some bits to help go quicker;

* 0.8mm gapped plugs (BCPR6ES) a few bucks each

* 10psi or so of boost boost control EBC for under $400 or bleeder

* Pineapples AKA rear cradle bushes about $100 --- helps you get traction

* Turbo back exhaust

* exhaust cam gear

* S-afc II

* upgraded clutch (the stock one dies very quickly) While your at it get a light weight flywheel.

* keep the stock airbox and run a high flow element

That lot is enough to run low 13 or high 12, with a healthy car and tune. Low 13's even if your traction sucks.

My old R33 had the above mods on 10psi odd made about 170rwkw or so and ran 13.3 with a 2.3 60ft (ie: wheel spin a-go-go), a few others have run 12's . This is with a stock intercooler by the way.

nabil: not trying to start an argument or anything but my parents have a vy clubby series 2 with a di fillipo full exhaust and it goes very well for stock its ran a 13.7 and got the power to the ground, but i want to show my dad up with the skyline because he thinks they are rice but yeah i do agree with you 200rwkw should keep up with it shouldnt it.. cant wait to get these mods on..

R33 RB25det as aposed to a Gen 3 V8 LS1 5.7 litre

has less than half the displacement

makes heaps less torque

and 2 less cylinders

Give us credit :)

nabil: yeah im on your side just saying they are powerful stock and i want to giv dad's a good run but thats not my main priority i just want a streetable skyline that has the power there when u want it.

Do it right and you will kick your dads ass. :)

A mid to low 13 can be acheived even without the S-AFC, again if you do things sensibly.

The R33 gtst is basically a 13 second car with an exhaust and 10psi of boost, if your car is slower than that you screwed somthing up. Just don't go silly with lots of mods all at once, you may find you don't need all of them to get the car where you want it.

By the way 200rwkw of peak power isn't a very good goal. Think about average power AKA torque instead, thats what makes the car fast and fun to drive.

mate if ur goal is to beat a V8...then u dont need to do much. Look for average power which gives u a good street response, none of this peak power stuff. Get better suspension setup, wheels/tyres or even just tyres Then work on driving it! Mine would do some seriously quick times if I could drive it... LOL

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
