no one keen on helping me :'(

Search here and on Google for lots on the KKR units. Mostly not to positive but anyway, have a read.

Ditto for lots of turbo and other options for RB20. See the stickys at the start of Forced Induction forum for lots of info.

I do feel for you though. There's so much info that you may have even more questions afterwards. Anyway, lots of options is always a good thing.

Good luck.

Honestly, a good look at the suspension and replace buggered stuff. Throw a proper dump pipe on it. A toshi remap for the std turbo, or perhaps an R33 turbo. Unless you are willing to poor thousands at the car i wouldnt go for anything bigger then an RB25 turbo with a chipped ecu.

If you ave cash left over spend it on some GTR rims and tyres and go belt the thing around the track and spend the money enjoying it rather then pouring cash into it. Getting carried away with mods ruined the fun i have with my car :)

GO the rb25 turbo , i boosted my vg30 too 16.5 pound daily and couldn't kill it, mind u all that rb20 in my r31 was good for was drifting and thrashing, made fun power and bigwank noises but, no good for daily driving. :D

+1 - cheap mod i got my turbo 4 $300 from sss automotive, rb25 turbo should tire u over till u can grab an rb25 witha decent snail :(

So So true. Enjoy the car Punt it around on as many track/private practice days as possible otherwise it will snowball into a money pit thats sits in the

garage in pieces with promises of being the weapon it deserves to be.

In all honesty you really need to evaluate what your long term goals are for the car and study study study cause man there is hours and hours of info on every path you could wanna take. its all been done. jus do it once and do it right otherwise your just pi$$in money up the wall.

+ 1 to having fun in your car insted of turning it into a money pit.................................. like me ;)

It'll cost you thousands and thousands to mod it, and will cost you that again to fix it wheni breaks every 3 months.

If i had my time again (and will soon) im gunna buy a stocko (or close too) coilovers, tie rods, castor rods, camber arms, brakes, fmic, oil cooler, and in your case r33 turbo, boost controller and tune.

Then you can have fun. for a long time.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • 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.
