Hey guys

i have an R33 gtst which is fairly stock - FMIC, 3in exhaust, pod. i am currently chasing around 250 - 270 rwkw, car will be mainly used for street but also a bit of circuit and 1/4 mile.

i am in the process of buying all my mods and installing them all at once, saves me on ru-tunning costs.

So far i have bought:

720cc sard injectors (top feed)

sard fuel pressure reg

greddy fuel rail

bosch 044 fuel pump

greddy plenum chamber

haltech ECU

blitz dual selnoid EBC type R

cam gears + timing belt

All i want now is a high flow turbo and cams.

With the turbo i dont wont a huge lag machine but i want something that when boost kicks in ill get punched into the seat, plus it will help with getting of the line if the turbo isnt super responsive. Reading all the threads im inclined to get a HKS Gt-RS or a GCG high flow but dont want to spend 2k. is there any good garretts for around $1500 which will get me to my goal?

With cams not to sure whats good but i really want cams that will give me that nice tough engine note, nengun have some HKS cams: 97/8 Duration - 256, lift 8.8m http://www.nengun.com/hks/camshafts-nissan 2202-RN172 /3 which are fairly cheap but any suggestions will be great.

thanks

I dont suppose your Series II is after a 97 model?

If so, there's some freegan cheap Cams in the for sale section.

Tomei Poncams for $600 !

I nearly went for em myself but it's just that bit extra cash i can't deal with right now, dealing with a new clutch and installation :(

The GT-RS is a hard act to beat.

A Garrett cartridge that would go close to the target using OE housings would be 446179-5032 - The 56T GT2871R. But you'd want a good idea of the costs of oil + water lines for the total cost vs HKS product.

Try a search on cams. There is plenty of comment about whether cams are justifiable at the power level you're targeting. I'd say the overall efficiency would lift with them but the raw numbers not show a large improvement from stock. At $700-$1000 fitted and installed you'd have to ask whether a changed exhaust note is justification enough.

Nope.

$1750 at the bare minimum, and then add installation, dump pipe etc etc.

Around $2300 at least.

yeah i have read a few topics about the minimum gains from cams but later in the future i plan on doing forged internals so i might wait till then and get it all done together.

I have been going back and forth from the GT-RS and GCG highflow so many times it makes my head spin. Correct me if im wrong but you should be able to get the GT-RS kit for around $2500 so i was thinking get that then sell the standard turbo to recoupe some $$$ losses.

Anyone 2 wanna take me for a ride with each turbo so i can feel the difference :D

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By Duncan · Posted

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?

      Stagea Front CV Axle Question

      By S1_C34 · Posted

      I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.
