hey im new to this site and have a few qeustions how much power does a r33 95 gtst put out from factory and how much boost can i run with a standard cooler and remaped ecu it also has 3.5 inch exhaust pod so whats an estimate of power.also will a vl turbo intercooler and piping fit on the 33 if not is there much modding to get it to fit cuz i have a spare 1 lying around,also mine is an mspec what extra things do mspecs have ,and what are the best mods to do on a budget.

hey mate welcome to the forum!

if you hit the search button up top right hand corner and type in what you are looking for info on you will find everything you need to know! been discussed between members heaps of times. best way to go with the cooler would be to use it and get yourself a piping kit to suit an r33. Best mods on budget go: full exhaust from turbo back,hi flow cat, cooler, boost controller, intake and ecu remap or computer to run the show and you should be looking at somewhere around 200rwkw give or take.

hope this helps

Hi mate :happy:

Ive got a 95 gts-t myself, fun car. With the standard cooler It depends on what your using the car for. For the ocasional thrash I think around 10psi would be pretty safe. The stock turbo itself won't like much above 13-14psi without risk of damage. Remaped ecu is probably only worth doing once you have done quite a few mods.

The RB25DET I believe puts out 187kw at the flywheel stock. Once you factor in drivetrain loss, engine age etc I think stock your looking at around 140-150 kw at the rears. Not sure about the VL intercooler so can't help you there.

When you say your on a budget, just how much are you wanting to spend? Power is addictive. I remember when I first got my car, I said something like 'holy crap this is more power than I will ever need'

Of course a month later I was looking at mods.

i just spent a shit load on my vl turbo it has 300rwkw n i dont wanto spend to much 200rwkw would be gd as i said it has 3.5 exhaust from cat back n the pipe coming of the turbo looks to be 2.5 but not sure what size pipe do they come out with standard also has pod boost controller bov the guy i bought it of said the ecu has been remaped but im not sure

i was looking at mods others have done just wondering what is power fc

I have a 3" exhaust from the turbo, POD, Front Mount, 11psi on stock turbo and a PFC. (Base map, untuned so far)

I made 217rwkw with the stock ecu and a S-AFC 2 piggy back computer.

However I would take that 217 with a grain of salt, I think it was something more like 200-210 which would be more consistant with others.

My clutch is not likeing the power I will tell you that much.

what does power fc meen how much did u pay for the piggy back on yr ecu

The Power FC is a full ECU replacement. Its able to be fully tuned, removes basic limitations of the stock ecu like the speed limiter, Rich & Retard and other things. The piggy back I had was an Apexi S-AFC II which is an Air/Fuel controller. It intercepts signals going to the ecu and tricks it into thinking its getting different figures. It allows basic changes but is fairly limited.

I think from memory I paid around $200 for the SAFC, then another $150 or something to get it installed and tuned.

If your just after 200kw then you will need a full turbo back exhaust, a way of upping the boost, a better intercooler is probably a good idea but not absolutely vital I guess, just don't drive the car too hard. I think 200kw's is about where the stock clutch struggles as well. You will also benefit from either a POD or a highflowing Panel filter. All of those should get you close enough to 200.

were did u buy the safc from

Read the FI Guide?

Please have a search around, your new to the forum, so a lot of stuff is already covered in detail like what a PowerFC is etc.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
