ok thanks mate ill get on it,iv got full uras kit ill lower the car more for the race and remove any extra weight i can...how much $$$ should i expect to spend to outrun a turbo?,i know i have him at top end speed but i need the take of aswell,my car as it is beats supras on high and low end,and turbo subaru's can not pull away from me so im happy with that.

Read what madbung said...

Reeks of sweaty palms in here,

You're probably going to go backwards with a 4" exhaust, you're car needs the correct back pressure to operate at it's best. I doubt a 4' system will provide that on a 2.5 n/a, you could choke it down with some mufflers, but that defeats the point. A tuned set of headers and matching system would be my choice.

I doubt you'll get near a turbo's performance with any form of bolt on mods (nos excluded) Headwork, bigger valves, port and polish, cams, bigger injectors, engine management, bore, stroke or a 3ltr bottom end and a balance would be a good stating point if your genuine. Expensive exercise, then your turbo mate only has to bolt on a bigger snail and it's bye-bye again.

Seriously, love your car for what it is...the rest is a waste of $$$$$ for a small ego stroke.

Or installing a boost controller to up the boost will have him in front already.

So as what madbung has explained,

(IMO) at the end of the day it's a totally different car all together.

It will cost you a lot to win over the R32 Turbo.

As for now, I probably just do the usual bolt on mods like upgrade your air panel filter to a high flow panel filter.

Please DO NOT go for the 4" exhaust! 2.25" full exhaust with a high flow cat will do you fine and get it professionally installed by your mechanic.

Lowering the car will always help with handling and yes, light weighting the will help.

Other than that, just save your money and in future, sell the car you have now and get a R34 GTT / R34 GTR... Or whatever you want with a turbo in it.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
