I'm only pushing 170RWKW's in my RB20 and I just did a big end bearing up at wakefield due to oil starvation. In saying that I was bouncing of 7500 rev limiter (maybe not bouncing but it was a drift day) and had the car being thrown around fairly violently.

So unless you are belting your car side to side, and redlining it, you don't have much to worry about, But i would do it if you were building your motor :)

Yes - on the proviso you have done the rest of the mods.

183 rwkw in a GTS-t is very good so I suspect you have a few mods already. FMIC, Zorst, Turbs, Puter etc....If you want to push 200rwkws - safe not sorry. Spend now and save later. Would you risk an engine rebuild?

Its an 94 r33 gtst This is My first nissan skyline so i am not sure on what mods i need to do so it does not blow my engine and to get more power

Ok, as its your first skyline ill be very blunt;

-Changing oil pumps in a GTST is a waste of time with that power level, or if its working fine

-You will break the oil pump if you bounce off the redline time and time again

-Always warm up before using more than 30% throttle on cold start

-Always cool down (fit a turbo timer if you're a leadfoot)

-Before adding power, sort out suspension and a short shifter for the gearbox

-Once you've got it sorted suspension wise look for more power

Powerwise;

-FMIC (forum sponsors)

-EBC (forum sponsors)

-HKS GTRS kit (forum sponsors)

-ECU, ideally one that uses MAP vs TPS for mapping (forum sponsors)

-Quality exhaust including highflow cat, good dump pipe (forum sponsors)

:/

EDIT: If you need any further clarification, call a few workshops and get quotes for "just a new oil pump fitted" :laugh:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
