I've got an exhaust and turbo timer & pod filter and rims for my r33..

I'm looking to do mods for PERFORMANCE,

i don't really wanna get a Front mount intercooler cos it'll be cop b8 as im driving gts-t on my red p's (Lol)

Whats the next mod i should do?

I wanna start modding my car heaps so can someone give me a list (in order) and the price range it'll set me back?

1/ Driver training days

2/ Good set of coil-overs

3/ Upgrade sway-bars and get adjustable Whiteline bushes, etc.

4/ More driver training

5/ Good quality tyres - No cheap shit $200ea tyres

6/ Slotted rotors, performance brake pads, braided brake lines, Motol brake fluid

7/ More driver training

You may think you know how to drive and how to control your car, but trust me you don't :thumbsup:

See... these guys know what they are talking about... you being on your red P's I don't imagine you know a hell of a lot about cars or skylines considering you've only been driving for a few months/years.

tyres do make a large difference in performance... things like wheel spin can slow your car a heap.... (you may not notice it yet because your car isn't really modded) so basiclly what they are saying is that these mods help keep your car stuck to the ground and deliver the power from the engine to the road better, not to mention possibly save your life if you put a lot into straight line performance over handling.

now as for your question, even though I think it is stupid of you asking consering you are on red p's...(i dont know parts prices really because of the exchange rates these days)

> Is your exhaust completly upgraded? turboback - tip? if not, make sure that's done first... things like dump/front pipe, metal cat are good upgrades... you may only have cat back.... so check they are all aftermarket parts...

>FMIC is normally next, but instead upgrade the sidemount to a 34gtt stock one as they are alot bigger and are good up to a certain amount of power.

>Fuel pump

>Upgraded clutch

then you can start going into more costly things...

>Electronic Boost controller

>Engine management (apexi powerfc, wolf 3d, haltech, etc)

>bigger flowing injectors

>air flow meter

>THEN once all this is done, the car will be ready to handle alot larger turbo.

Ofcourse you can wack on a bigger turbo before engine management and afm and stuff... but there wont be a great deal of extra power because you can't really go past 200rwkw on stock afm and fuel pump and other bits.....

>Finally.. depending on how crazy you go with the setup, you can go into forged internals...

Adam

You sound like an intellgent man.

Yeah, stay away from FMIC, will be real cop bait.

Instead get:

Turbo Smart Megasonic Blow Off Valve

Full 3.5" exhaust system with a cannon

External gate or just cut the stock 25 turbo's wastegate to stop it linking back into exhaust

and maybe a Nissan sticker for back window and some neons

that will give you about 76.35 more power (hp)

Oh sorry,

Get a 800hp China Monsta turbo, stick it on a ebay manifold, then get a manual bleed valve and crank the psi as high as you can and then go and do sick doughies at your local maccas.

Almost forgot; you also need to block the bov, because the dose is fully sick and adds another 60rwkw. Make sure you turn on the neons as the light heats up the air under the car, thus creating less drag, and a few stickers on the doors are great for another 20rwkws too.

Then you could paint the engine bay pink to match your frock, lippy and high heels.

Fully hektic bro!!

Since you on your P's, get use to the stock power and upgrade your handling.

Full adjustable suspension then lower it.

Strut brace will help.

Performance brake pads and rotors like Al said. You might even want to upgrade to R33 GTR Brembos if you like, but not needed...

Driver training days help a lot too.

If you want to upgrade your intercooler, you can install a R34 GTT side mount intercooler as they have the capability to take up to 200kW.

Or you sheild off your pod and install a front mount intercooler.

Absolute GOLD!!!! :blink:

Many start with a power-up first, but I would recommend suspension & braking first.

You will be amazed how much quicker a car feels & goes when it holds the road well.

Then remap or aftermarket ECU.

I second that.

You can then actually at least enjoy driving around without as much fear of getting done.

whats suspension and stuff got to do with performance.. ?

more than a few pissy engine mods... THINK about it... no THINK HARDER!...

and coil overs? arent they suspension ??????

yes, yes they are

and tyres dont make mch of a difference

the ability to get traction and actually stay ON THE ROAD when cornering probably makes a difference dont you think...

srsly, search around here a bit first mate :D

i go to calder park and i only do drags. :S and i dont corner @ high speed. and just cos im p plater doesnt mean i cant handle a pissy turbo, my mates non turbo xr6 is faster than my turbo.. turbo aint much difference, just a nice dose.. power wise its jackall to me.. i've driven a ferrrari.. thats real power. and i cant drive that. but turbo? please you guys make it sound like its the craziest shizz ever

lol :(

a heap of subbies and a massive amp will get you bouncing all the way down calder park.or you could sell the skyline and get a stock VN

(hopefully the previous owner has drilled some holes in the muffler for better performance...) and do a monster 1wheel skid down calder

are you f**king serious... you go to the drags and tyres dont make a difference...

ok so a 12 second run with 1 second of wheelspin = 13 second run yes?

12 second run with 0 seconds of wheelspin = 12 second run yes?

do the f**king maths...

not to mention ther are a heap of cars round sau that will smack down ferarri's.

Don't bother Hamish; As if suspension and tyres are important for drags. This kid knows it all man, he has driven a Ferarri, so he must be a race car driver!! WOW I just want his signature, he's sooooo cool!

Pffft...

You bring that Ferarri and a $1000 to the next Calder meet and we see who walks away with 2g's, but make sure you know how to drive, wouldn't want to damage the walls at Calder and delay other competitors from racing ;)

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
