Hey im Ben and atm im only 15, almost 16 and for the past 3 years I have been obsessed with the Nissan Skyline and in under a years time I will be getting my 1st car, A Series 1 Nissan Skyline ECR33 GTS-25T Type-M. It has been my dream car for a very long time and I have already planned modifications out which include but not limited too:

Nissan RB25/30DET Hybrid Conversion

Featuring:

-Nissan RB25 Head

-Tomei Cams (not sure about duration, lift atm)

-Adjustible Dial-In Cam gears (most likely HKS)

-Gates Timing Belt

-6Boost Steampipe Merge Collected Exhaust manifold, HPC coated and then wrapped in black heat wrap

-Garrett GT3582R (0.70 Compressor Housing, 0.82 Turbine Housing)

-Garrett Turbo beany ontop of HPC Coated Turbine housing and the Wastegate Pipe and Dump pipe will be HPC Coated + heat Wrapped in tan wrapping.

-Turbosmart 45mm External Gate replumbed into exhaust system just before the Cat

-Heat mesh stuff ( the stuff XR6T's have on their manifold) stuck around chassis of hot areas

-Full braided enginebay with speedflow fittings

-Greddy Intake Plenum

-Q45 or XD Throttle Body

-Nismo 740cc Injectors on an aftermarket fuel rail

-CP Forged Pistons

-Spool Conrods

-Aftermarket Bearings (not sure atm)

-Custom CAI

-75-100hp Shot of NoS single injection just before throttle body (track use)

-Oil Catch Can

-Standard R33 5speed with aftermarket clutch or Standard R33 4Speed Jatco with MV Stage 3 Shiftkit and internals built to handle 350+ rwkw.

Exterior/Interior:

Featuring:

-Factory Black Paint and or Factory Silver Paint

-Standard GTS-25T Type M Bodykit with the standard low spoiler

-Removed front numberplate bar with plate relocated to top of bar

-Nismo Clear side indicators

-18/19" Speedy Cheetahs in Silver or 18/19" Volk GT-C in the Grey colour or 18/19" Starcorp Racing Fusion in Silver

-Boost Gauge mounted to left of the main dash enclosur

-Shift Light mounted on Steerign Wheel neck

-Custom Dash enclosure featuring regulare gauges replaced with aftermarket items

-Standard sound system maybe with just some upgraded speakers

-Nismo Locking Tyre Valve Caps

-Just Jap SR3 Style Bucket Seats

-Red Seat belts (I think they are good looking lol)

Maybe's

-Dry Ice Setup before intake plenum

-Stroker Kit

-VL Diff

I hope for 350-400rwkw on a high boost setting of 30psi + NoS shot (mayb)

Of course that is the ultimate final list and I have made several stages that include other mods that will however be sold, stored when replaced.

I have been researching for a long time and I cant wait until November of 2009 cuz thats when it all begins =)

Its not all happening in one time frame, L-Plates = Exhaust, Intercooler , Dual Port BoV, CAI, Side Indicators and Interior Mods and maybe even the rims. P-Plates = (if I get the exemption) saving up for the Induction mods which ima get from Horsepowerinabox.com (Garrett GT3540, Turbosmart Gate, 6Boost Manifold), Greddy Plenum and Head Internals. If i dont get exemption ill try again if failed again ill be trading cars with my parents (lol idea but I refuse to sell cuz of government). After of P's ill probly have enuf money to get mods for the Head Work and Induction, then I will be saving for the RB30 block and its internals along with the tranny mods.

I reckon the Mods alone , all up will cost 20grand-35grand not including fitting or customworks. I plan on trying to fit as much as possible.

The crank im trying to figure out what I will replace it with now, i dont know if i should use a stroker crank or just a forged normal 3l item.

Wow, looks like you've really done your research man.

Haha now i dun feel like the only youngin' in here .. im only on mah red P's lols!

Hope it all goes well. When are you planning to buy the R33?

And welcome to SAU :(

Nice list of mods there.

But why a series 1? Series 2 look alot better IMO. The interior for sure.

If you have plans of pulling the engine out for the conversion, try and find an R34 GTT at the auctions without an engine. Will only set you back about 5k.

MR XTC

Ive have been working 2 jobs since september 2008 and although i quit one last week ive saved $2200 so far and the car will be bought on time for my Birthday in November 2009.

I like the R33 Series 1/ 1.5 front better then the Series 2 however the Series 2 interior is better. I have considered an R34 GT-T but I only really like the white 2door manual version with the Nismo Aero Kit but the R33 still wins me over. One day i plan to have an R34 GT-R however.

first of all, good on ya for knowing what u want, and yay sumone younger than me (im on reds too mr xtc lol)

sounds like u got it all planned out!

its good uve got it all worked out now, but if ur as similar to me as u sound, ull be making plenty of pencil changes over time......

but it will be VERY worth it

keep up the good work!

    • Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters. 
    • I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix. 
    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
