Hi..

Just registed up.. As i just bought my r33 94 Model skyline off my uncle..

I was looking into getting some mods for it but nothing to extreme.. as i have to drive it most days and im only a 3rd year apprentise..

Its has a hks Mushroom filter, Exaust System, And a Dual stage boost switch.. running like 7low 8 high.. its fairly stock.

Was thinking along the lines of maybe a front mount and a new computer.. but nothing to pricey Any Suggestions??

Im sure some of the site sponsers could help you out on a good price for a fmic kit.. Or you could go the cheap way n check ebay for a chinese copy lol.

FMIC kits can start anywhere from 300 dollars all the way up to about 2,000 Depending on brand n style.

With your 2stage boost controller.. id probably bump the "high" up to about 10psi. Has the car got a boost gauge? I wouldve thought that having the aftermarket exhaust (is it 3"?) wouldve bumped the boost up by itself anyways.

How much money did u want 2 spend? U could grab a piggy back computer for cheap.. or look at going a complete aftermarket computer. But for the mods u said u were having or going 2 do, i hardly see it worthwhile. Maybe stick with a SAFC2 as toffy said.

Sorry is the SAFC2 a whole new comp or a piggy back type or...?(Sorry New To This)

I want a good fmic not to expensive.. Im sure its a right through exaust if its 2.5 or 3 not to sure..

Would u suggest these mods or somthing else..

I had it dynoed and it only has a poor 148kw atw.. Would these types of mods add another 50kw if not how much.. (roughly)

Im looking at spending 2-3k are these mods installed possible with this price tag?

Thanks for all your help.!

with 2-3K to spend i would go a Greddy/Trust front mount intercooler....they go for around the $800-1K mark.....then prob a Greddy Emanage Piggy back ECU.....and run at about 10 psi this should see you push past the 200rwkw mark....

My mate has a series 2 R33 and all he has is a Hybrid fmic and running at about 9psi with a well tuned factory ECU....and he is at the 198 rwkw mark...he did have it dynoed on 12 psi and was making around 220 mark.....so its not hard to get some decent power out of these motors for cheap....

if i were you i would also look at getting a Z32 air flow meter...they go for around $400-500 mark and they are a whole lot better/easy to tune......and does give you some power

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
