Hi guys, i have a couple questions regarding engine mods...

I have a '96 series 2 R33 GTS25T skyline nd im trying to work out how to increase my performance without having to spend a crap load of money... which is where u guys come in!

ive done the boost mod from the DIY section so the car runs constant 7/8psi instead of the 2 stage crap...

Next i plan on doing the exhaust and air filter... i figure its best not to skimp on these so im thinking full 3" split dump and quality 3" high flow cat keepin size all the way to the back, mandrel bent with high flow mufflers...

The intake... gonna remove the standard airbox nd replace with a pod filter... whats the law on these? I heard somewhere oiled filters are illegal... and that pod filters are illegal if their not covered? Whats a good way to go here? Apexi pod filter nd a cold air box /w cold air intake?? Any more info or links on this would be appreciated :worship:

Nd finally... to get more from the turbo without havin to spend alot on a front mounted intercooler.... would this work: R34 GTT intercooler, nd R32 GTST waste gate actuator... the r34 intercooler pretty much bolts straight onto where the current intercooler is with minimal modification but is rated for more power... nd the R32 waste gate actuator is the same as the one in my car apparantly but the spring is set for 10psi?? Would that work...

ANd lastly i remember reading in other forums that you can hear the turbo noises with the factory BOV just by replacing the air filter with a pod filter... nd get the flutter by unplugging a vaccum hose or something??????

Any ideas and info and corrections and suggestions will be very much appreciated :P... also if u guys know where i can get the parts required above (intercooler nd actuator mainly)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.

      Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?

      Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.

      Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
