Hey Guys,

I'll start off with Happy New Year! Everyone still recovering???

OK - so back to business... i've had my R33 S1 (but looks like an S2 so i guess its a 1.5 as some people here call it), for 1 year next month and have just started with the mods. So far i have a HKS spoung air filter with no box, Blitz BOV, 3'' turbo back exhaust system with high flow cat & FMIC. After this work was finished it got put on the Dyno and made 225rwkw - i dont have the sheet, he just called me when he did it and i fell off my chair at work when i heard it - does this sound right or should i get it done again or should i just take the results and run with it?

Anyways, so the next things i want done are: Electronic Boost Controller, Cool direct air intake for the air filter, PFC or some sort of aftermarket ECU, Z32 AFM. Once all that is done i suppose i would then need to change the clutch, fuel pump, maybe injectors?

I have read a lot of threads about doing up R33's and they are all from 2003/2004, so what i am asking is if anyone from experience thinks there is a certain order of which i should be doing the rest of my mods or if i have missed something that i need once i add a new part...?

I'm hoping to acheive over 300rwkw. Then i'll come show off with you guys at Dyno days other events... i'm yet to make my debut... lol :(

Thanks everyone!!!!

Sammy.

sounds like a happy dyno. No way will a stock ecu make that much power. it is possible the ecu has been chipped in japan tho so could be worth while checking that out also.

Basically the minute you raise the boost with stock ecu you hit Rich and Retard which prevents you from making any real power at all.

to make 300 rwkw (your going to need stronger internals if you want it to last at this and over) you'll need

PFC

Bigger injectors

Bigger Fuel pump

Bigger turbo - 3076R with .83 housing comes to mind

z32 afm

and a good tune.

of course you'll need other support systems like clutch, fmic and turbo back exhaust...

There's not a chance you're on 225rwkw with those mods. Get it tuned somewhere where they know what there doing.

either they have no idea how to use a dyno or they are just trying to bullshit you.

i dont see why they would be trying to bullshit me... lol - who would do that?

i'll get it put on the dyno again to make sure - but that isnt why i wrote this thread, this is more to be focussed on the mods rather than the dyno results...

any other opinions on the mods guys? I jus want to make sure i do things in the right order because i dont want to add something then fark something else up along the way...

as the others have said 225rwkw is too high

190 to 200rwkw is about spot on

check what gear it was done in on the dyno sheet

might have been 3rd gear

or different diff gears in the back prehaps?

what rpm do you 100km/h at in 5th gear?

Guys!!!! lol - your all missing the point! hahaha - i will clarify the dyno results when i re-dyno next month...

i want to know what next - i need help to know which mods go after what i already have (FMIC, turbo back exhaust, air filter (no box), BOV)... in my 1st post i have listed some things that i think should go next but i dont know which order is the smartest way to go about it... please help with this???

do a search you will find everything you need

i did a search as i mention in my first post and i found a lot of good information but old information, i was just asking what people thought in their own opinion from experience what they found to be the smartest way to mod - what things to do 1st... i have already done the first stage of mods, its just the next step where one mod starts affecting other parts more heavily so i want to go about it the right way...

so if anyone is willing to help me with this, please do! lol

First, make sure it STOPS. Then make sure it HANDLES. Then make it go fast.

*well it has brakes... 60% / 50% - do you mean get like vented disks or whateva?

well thats just the thing, you want 300 rwkw, so it doesnt matter which mod you do first as you will need to do ALL of the ones i listed in order to make that power.

if you dont want 300 rwkw and want to stick with the stock turbo, then i'd just get a PFC and an EBC and a damn good tune., will make good power and last ages, and both mods you can keep for future upgrade.

hope this helps, but you need to be clearer about what you want

OK well i want to keep the turbo stock for now... i want that to be like one of the last things to change as it will be one of the most expensive...

So if i get in order... EBC - Cool direct air intake - Z32 AFM - Fuel Pump & Injectors together. Then get the PFC last and have it all tuned? Reason why i said PFC last is so i dnt have to keep getting everything tuned after every mod... then ill change the clutch...

Then later somewhere down the track ill change the turbo... how does this plan sound?

sounds reasonable thats for sure, yes start getting all the parts now, so the AFM, injectors, fuel pump, ebc, and the PFC, get them all and then you can book it in with your tuner of choice to get all the parts installed and then tuned up. once you have all that you just add a turbo to make decent power.

as for cold air intake, you can do that any time, you wont need a retune for it.

OK sweet - i thought that for the cool air intake you would need it tuned because more air would be running through the POD filter...

Thanks for your help mate - i will start collecting the parts and get it all installed and tuned! Appreciate your opinion for this.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving.

      What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
