Hello

I live in Japan.

I have a R32 GTS-T with a RB20 and I am putting the RB 25 on and intercooler. About to buy a HKS not too big intercooler and piping but I had a idea I want to try.

My friend has a R33 SMIC and I was going to put that on. It would keep me from having to cut my front bumper and since I have a RB25 turbo I thinking it should be better than the stock R32 intercooler.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, I was going to leave the HKS acculator on the RB25 turbo(came with it) and see how it works.

Is this good? Will this work and still be a good set up? I would really like to spend the extra money on boost controller and other necessary things.

Help please

You will find that the R32 and R33 SMIC will be just as cruddy as each other. They are the same dimensions. The R34 SMIC is considered an upgrade because it is slightly more efficient than the previous models.

The HKS actuator will work fine as long as it still operates as it should.

OK

Well will get a FMIC The HKS one I can get is 350.00 with all of the pipes except for the long one which goes over the top of the engine. I have been looking for pipes but cant find any. My friend has a smaller FMIC that is good. He will sell it for 100.00 but I would still have to buy the piping for it. Are any one of these two options good or should I just buy a new set Greddy FMIC that has all of the piping?

Well wish I could find a R34 SMIC.

unless you are good with you fabrication skills, i would just buy a complete kit that came with everything, that way there arent any headaches and you'll have everything you'll need

living in japn, you should have access to plenty of parts haha

R32s are being used alot here now so I think alot of the cheap parts are getting hard to find now. Looks like I am going to spend the 350 for a new kit. I can get help with fabrication, there is a DIY shop here where I work and the staff there said that they will help me with fabricating parts if I need too.

How starved will the turbo be if I connect it to my stock SMIC now until I can get a FMIC?

      When you crank your car, and hit it with a timing light, can you see a steady crank timing?

      Oh, forgot to add, A few months ago I was getting mixture codes and the car was using crap loads of fuel. You could smell the unburned fuel in the exhaust, it was crazy strong. Economy was over 17.5 l/100 and usually around 19. I smoked the engine and found a leaky CCV hose which I replaced and then I replaced my two pre cat O2 sensors, I also replaced the MAF. This fixed my mixture codes and improved my exonomy but I'm still 14 - 15 l/100 when pottering about town so something is still amiss. Throttle response is much better and it has more pep but I'd like to know why it's still so thirsty (and I'm hoping that whatever it is gives me a bit more poke).

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Hello all, currently finishing up a rb25 swap into my s14. Having issues with starting, car has spark (confirmed by pulling a plug and watching it spark), has fuel(confirmed by checking pulse/voltage at injectors all spark plugs are soaked in fuel). Car cranks over and pops into the exhaust with a heavy fuel smell but no attempt to start or run, I have torn the timing cover off and triple confirmed timing, turned the CAS in multiple spots both directions, attempted to start with coolant temp and maf unplugged, checked my fuel lines and made sure they weren’t backwards, checked voltage at cas/injectors/coilpacks, made sure all the grounds in the harness are connected and added a few grounding straps (1 from chassis to block, 1 from chassis to head, and 1 from chassis to igniter chip) I am getting stumped here. As a last ditch effort I made a full grounding harness tonight that’s going to run from the battery and add an extra ground from the battery onto the coil pack harness/igniter chip/ intake manifold/ Wiring specialties harness ground/ and alternator. I’m hoping maybe the grounding harness will fix it here but posting here to see if anyone has any other ideas on what else I can check. My fuel pressure is unknown right gauge will be here tomorrow.  IMG_3206.mov

      yeah I was shocked when I checked my spare OEM on and as below that's how they come from Nissan. (side interesting note new NEO gearbox and replacement park lack the brass bush on the tips and its just all alloy) unsure about damage to the box currently back at 1110 to be pulled down/inspected and selector fork replaced as he built it previously and given the never before seen failure on his billet forks he is replacing it under warranty. He said he has used always OEM the keyway tab without issue for years so it could be an unlucky coincidence. I did talk to him about the sharp corners and stress concentration too. Re: hard shifts i got 7+ years out of the OEM one and the fork itself failed not the keyway. so could be bad luck as I said or an age thing + heat cycles in box and during fabrication of billet?
