hi guys im new to the skyline world and wanted some advice..... im looking at buying an 1993 r33 skyline. it has 123,000 km, font mount intercooler, exhaust, blow off, turbo timer, boost controller. the guy has told me it is currently running stock on 6psi boost, smooth drive and in excellent conditon.

im more then happy with the looks but am unsure about the perfromance side of things

i wanted to know what u think this car is worth.......... and how many killowatts u think it would have.

im looking for about 220 k/ws and would like to know some safe mods that wont cost to much...

any advise would be great as i know sweet fu*k all the about the modification side of things.

thanks heaps guys

lol currently 6psi so that means before it would have been 10-11psi anything wif a boost controller means they had hight intensions to run higher boost than stock thats for sure, and 220kw yeh nt a high bench mark easy to achive check out the dyno section for rb25det t will give u a fair idea what u will need.

yer not to hard to achieve this. i had roughly the same on my old GTST and made 200 kws easy. The only differance is i had a aftermarket computer, Power FC. Add one of these, get a tune. Done and Done

I also added a fuel pump just to keep things safe....

for those mods you mentioned and the low boost, i would say 160-170kw.

boost is up to 11-12psi and you should see around 200kw, but no more then 14psi as your turbo will not last long

for your target of 220kw, you will need:

hi-flow turbo

fuel pump

ECU - PFC or remap

Please read the FI Guide

There are plenty of beginner/first mod type of threads that everyone should read.

The "what mods to do first" thread is a really great start.

Cheers

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
