Guest neoGT-25

Hey Guys, i have a R34 25-GT

i have a pod filter and thats it... does anyone know what kw the NEO N/A makes?

i want to put a A'PEXi N1 spec exaust and a A'PEXi POWER FC... 1 of the guys at Sub Zero said that i can get about another 25 hp from the POWER FC and about another 5-6 hp with a muffler... would it be different with a A'PEXi N1 muffler? are they too loud aswell? because my dad will kill me if my car is to loud... should i steer away from an A'PEXi N1 spec exaust and buy something else?

thanks for any help, btw im so glad theres a thread for us N/A Skyliners now:uh-huh: :burnout: ;)

talkto DBAsteve... it cost me to change my all 4 rotors $1000 from japan I tell you :D but hang on b4 u get scared:eek1: :eek1:

I have sent my old pairs to DBA steve so DBA can now manufacture here which will be cost heaps less now! and they are good too I hear! :D

so talk to DBAsteve from here and tell him Pva_Glue sent you!

he should look after you!

and what do you mean hand brake is drum??!??;) all skylines have disk brakes I think!

cheers

ok

so lets make this straight

r33 gts non turbo makes 147kw

and the

r33 gts-t makes 184 kw

is this information correct?

is anyone going to justify this?

the figure are correct but they are at fly wheels not the wheels!

I had mine dynoed while ago.. I got 114hp at all 4WD!

cheers

Joe

so with victorian governemtn restrictions on power levels

which do they rate the kws at?

the flywheel or at the wheels?

are there mods i can do that will not affect performance wise?

mods to keep the car healthier and last longer

hey if yours is an n/a there is no apex power fc if there is it will cost you 2k plus for it. an apex n1 is a turbo exhaust that will make you car very loud and drone ant low revs the best power up is a set of extractors and a pod filter tehn if you get really keen you could go for a set of cams but the n/a already has better cams than the turbo. It an expnsive path to take if you wanted power you should have got a turbo.

believe me I have done the reasearch cause my car was n/a but now its turbo

meggala

Cams and cam gears can give you better tuning but you need to have a tuner who knows what they are doing and I dont know tuners in Qld so I cant help

neoGT-25, get extractors like meggala said, don't get the apexi n1 if u don't want loud. get a hi-flow cat then 2 1/4" exhaust with a straight through muffler, if i were u i'd go for the oval shape ones and not the canon style ones. don't go for 2.5", its too big, na needs some back pressure. else down low it won't go.

and thats about all i'd do for an na :D

boys, i'm selling my car soon, will post some pics up wen i get them scanned. the exhaust was a waste of money, but i just had to do something to the car coz it was so standard ;)

i don't think the power fc does anyting for an na.

You can get a non-turbo version of the A'PEXi N1 which comes with 60mm (2.36") piping and a proper resonator. I don't have any experience with it, but I don't think it would be overly loud. Turbo version would drone like a bitch though, as stated above by meggala and turtle.

I've ordered a HKS super drager [65mm piping - 2.55"], which should be arriving from Japan in the next few weeks (damn sea freight). I'll let you know how loud it is.

I tried to Buy some DBA rotors Part # 953 as these are the ones for the r33 gts, but I was informed that while that part number is correct they don't make them yet!!!!!!

Unless you want standard rotors from nissan there dosn't seem to be anything around...

Please let me know if I'm wrong..

well as most of you prolly seen my na car is no gone, which leaves me with no other option other then go with the a GTS4, r32 ofcourse so i will have turbo.. its been a good stint with the na, cept its slow, and auto.. but it looked like a very smick vechile in the weeks before the accident.. ohwell.. good luck with your n/as boys :(

Hey All, i was in Brisbane today at BRISBANE STREET MACHINES which is where i got my SKYLINE from and one of the guys that works there (Ben) told me that i can get a really decent HKS exaust system to suite a N/A SKYLINE for about $2,500... he said my car should be making about 25 - 30 hp more than it is now with it... is this true and has anyone got any information about this exaust?

He also said that a place in Sydney called BD4's get them in... is this a good place?

reliable, cheap, honest and all?

my other mod ideas are... A'PEXi POWER FC (I found out you can use them for a N/A SKYLINE), Extractors, Carbon Fibre Bonnet and maybe Boot? (All light weight stuff)

thanks for any help people, byes :burnout:

(Sorry for any spelling mistakes)

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
