doxx - dont worry im sure most of us are thinking the same thing, its just i am waiting for finances to permit :)

and i was thinking, for brake upgrade, would it be good to get a set of gtr calipers, and possibly some 180sx, or s13 silvia, high performance brakes(like almost custom, not stock... but order em as s13 parts )

what you think??? saves the bloody change to 5 stud, which personally i cant be bothered, coz then would need new wheels..

i know i want some, but that way i dont NEED them...

Get ya hands on a copy of HPI vol 5.... (the movie i mean)

The one with the big WRX vx EVO on the front cover...

This new video shows an "NA R32" and an "NA R31 GTS-R"

Both machine are only 10 seconds behind the brand new Mines R34 GTR and the GTR was rated as being too fast..... Check it out...

Sorry my mistake its not HPI vol 5..

Here the cover... Its an awsome import video...

The tuner in-line 6 shootout is a must see event...

"Its a tribute to the production of the 6 cylinder performance cars of our times... As you all know they are going out of production this year...

This is very upsetting to a die hard nissan fat such as myself...

just thought that i'd share with all u n/a boys n gals who are planning on putting an exhaust on. go with 2 & 1/4" piping and a straight thru muffler. yes, it does sound small but believe me, i have put a 2.5" exhaust on and the f*cker drones, partly due to the straight thru muffler, but i also notice a drop in bottom end performance.

all up i've wasted over 500bux with the exhaust and i'm not happy with it. lesson learnt there, save up the money and use it to get a turbo!

haha, thats rite, u got the big ass exhaust on the na car as well. does ur one only drone around 2000-3000 rpm wen u drive at a constant speed? eg. going 60k's in 4th gear, or 100k's in 5th gear, but if i held 4th gear and went at 100k's in 4th then its not too bad.

i'm actually planning on putting the stock muffler back on! yup, after all that money and heart ache, i'm planning on doing that. only problem is that it won't fit straight on so i think they mite have to redo some of the piping at the back which will cost more money! money which i don't have atm :)

sorry for being a noob

but ive considered getting a non turbo now cos of all these complications in gettin a turbo skyline

anyways

what is the kws for th r33 gts and r32 gts?

and what is the most effective mods too boost this kw up

oh what is the weight of both the models,

hey boxhead, no more drone noise for me!!!! i am so relieved, it was pissing me off badly, i didn't even want to drive the car. i took it back to this exhaust place, and they changed the resonator for me, coz the boss that did it the first time was just a temp from another store and he does mostly tuning and stuff for cars so he didnt know what he was doing.

now i've got on a oval shaped one, and it sounds pretty good, only drones a bit but its very bearable :)

i'm very happy with the current system now.

btw, daalder exhaust in boxhill did it for me. very pleased with their work & service. all the other places wanted me to remove my current exhaust and they'll make another one for me.

haha turtle i've had my 2 1/2" zorst with big bore on since i got the car and it is hella droning but i grew used to it straight away considering that i am partially deaf from playing music next to speakers etc

chopobo dont worry the n/a will make u happy u'll love it even if it isnt a turbo. r33 is heavier than r32 dunno how much though

untuned and way off timing my car did 96rwkw i reckon maybe 100 now after a tune? i didnt bother re dynoing it coz eh didnt care lol dunno about r32 n/a though, i wonder if funkeh monkeh dynod his car?

things u can do

cold air intake

pod

extractors

spark plugs

and all the expensive internal work :)

when i get my gtst half cut im not gonna sell my n/a engine i'll keep it and build it up slowly when i have the money, things like 9:1 pistons, new cams, 3ltr bottom end etc

yep i love it especially when it does the tradition trademark backfire bark that sounds leet! hahaha

yeah, i kinda got use to the drone as well, which makes my current exhaust sound so peaceful, but to others may think that its still sound loud :)

it use to pop as well, doesnt do it as much anymore since i changed it. gotta admit i did like that sound.

i was scared that the cops would pull me over and wack me with a fine! doxximus u haven't had any trouble with the cops from the noise?

good luck with the turbo conversion, where will u b getting it done? i've been thinking about doing that as well, but i've decided to sell and buy a turbo.

damn, ur lucky u doing all the stuff at ur house, else labour would cost heaps.

chopobo, the power at the flywheel for r33 gts is around 142 or 147kw. weighs around 1300kgs. the only things i would do to an na would be the things that doxximus listed. filter, exhaust etc. other work such as doing the cams etc wouldn't be worth it, u would have to spend some money for little gains.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
