Hi guys,

I liv ein brisbane and i am about to purchase a turbo for my r33.

I have been trying to decide what set up to go for for 2 months now.

I am thinking a slide highflow either a max rb25 over size or a vg30 max over size.

i like it becasue of minimal fuss bolting it up.

My Tuner recommends a gt30r and installing a thicker headgasket.

Now this is a lot more costly and if i can make a realible 250rwk with a slide highflow with supporting mods

then id rather do that.

I wanted to ask if any one has a slide highflow in brisbane that i might be able to see in person or meet at a cruise some time? i think seeing one perform in the flesh will help me decide what to buy more comfortably.

So far i have

rebuild forged pistons

PFC

walbro pump

metal intake pipe

FMIC

Catch can

I will be installing injectors and Greddy fwd facing intake and sllpit dump at time of turbo install.

And below a pic of the car.

Thanks in advance guys

Much the same situ as me bloke. I drove a lot of peeps nuts with questions before i made my choice.

My mod list will be much the same as yours sans forged bottom end and my goal is 250 plus rwkw with as little lag as possible and fat fat torque. After speaking to members tuners and arron I ordered his stage 3 jobbie. All evidence points to this unit doing excactly what i want. GL with your decision.

Fine Line,

Thanks,

Make sure u kepe us posted how u go after install.

I want to see a stage3 in the flesh pumping over 235rwk reliably then i will be sold. i can live with 235kw from a stage3.

If any one has a slide highflow id really appreciate it if i can meet you out on a cruise some time to see it first hand, seat of the pants whould be great .

By stage 3 we mean the maxrb25 highflow.

DAN666

Im leaning towards the vg30 max oversize!

Im prob just over analysing??? i really want to have good response and performance wiht a 250rwkw power figure.

Injectors & AFM on the cards for sure!

Dan what tubz u running?

Thanks Noel, mmm when he first started I was considering one and at that time he said he could do a 270 degrees bearing for an extra 300? but I never followed up on it.

This mod deal is like getting presents. you dont know whats in there till you open it up.

To a man everyone says that with the mods we are using (or going to use) 250 rwkw is a shoe in. However, There are cars out there carrying these mods or more which arent making those figures.

Still the great unknown (for me at least) is the puda. i simply cannot get a definitive answer. I would like to know excactly what are the desirable features in an engine management system and which if any of the known brands have all the fruit.

Id be keen to buy a better bearing i guess for abit extra like that.

I guess i will decide in the next 2 weeks.

Id be realyl keen to see one in action if any one in brisbane has one!

I pedalled Lazy bastards 33 last week with this same type of mod setup tmc. It hauled arse through the midrange. very useable power. Very impressive.

Id be keen to hear from lazy bastard33 and toy-33, be good to see there set ups in action.

Migh shoo them a pm if they dont join in on the thread :D

im really for hte slide due to cost, but for an extra 600 if the GCG one shows its worth i might consider it.

Useable power is what i am aiming for mainly.

i have a max size slide highflow - 231kw at the wheels on mercurys dyno

couldn't get the vg30 as he was out of stock of exhaust housings, has he found more supplies now?

so like 180 rwkw everywhere else?? :D :D

What boost are you running for that figure Izaac? I am assuming there is a bit more left in it?

lol true :( i wonder why old men in camrys still outpowah me :(:P

15psi, yes plenty more but requires upgrade to fuel system as the injectors are near maximum duty cycle. I run stock injectors, stock regulator with a walbro.

i saw your comment in the other thread, tuners for powerfcs will be around as long as you own your car

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
