lol, why 225.00kwS?

If this is in relation to the thread you made in vic section, then yes mate, turbo will be the "smartest" interms of cheapest, but its still not that cheap to get it all up and running....

get a turbo

I wish i could but im on p's

nah WYTSKY its coz im on my p's i wish i could but yeh...

FYI the "smartest" thing to do would be to learn to drive. Upgrading the thing behind the wheel is the best "bang for buck" performance mod you can do, and it'll carry over to any car you own in the future.

As for nos ill pass im not Bryan O'connor

You've got GT-R "badging" on your name but you drive a 2WD Skyline, so if the last movie is anything to go by you're closer to O'Connor than you may think.

Stroking will cost like a few K. Cams yeh i surpose.

Good luck hitting 225kW with an old, non-turbo, 10+ year old, 2.5L engine that doesn't have VTAK or some other cam profile fiddling shenanigans. A stocker will make 140kW[/url] so you're effectively asking for 50% more power than a reasonably fresh engine.

There's no way you're doing that without cracking open the engine if you don't have boost or bottle. And that's going to cost you more than "a few K" to do.

Hahaha i like keyboard warriors like you. Really entertaining and full of ego but stop before you embarrass yourself ok? First off Without seeing me drive how can you make an automatic assumption of my driving skills? you have no right. Secondly Does the badge in my name really have to correspond with what i drive? Does that mean i have to be a GTS right now and once i get a GTR i have to re-register and THEN call myself RxGTR? Maybe its the future car i want. Maybe its the car i worship so don't i have the right to put it in my name if i choose too? Without anyone flaming me?

Your NA RB25 will not make 225 KW naturally aspirated for under, say, ten grand minimum. At my trade prices.

Stroker kit: Tomei, 2.8 litre kit. Nearly 10 grand by itself.

Cams: Needed for higher RPM breathing - RPM being the only real way to increase your power considerably. Custom ground from comp cams is around 1500+ for a pair.

Independant Throttle Bodies: Can do it yourself with 4AGE ones and a modified intake, but still I would believe that alone would cost 3 grand.

Exhaust: a good $1500.

ECU: at these power levels neccessary - another 2 grand lets say tuned.

PLUS: a slew of other components from wiring to injectors to fuel pump and everything inbetween.

Even then its not gonna happen. Not without a RB30 bottom end and a modified RB26 head anyway.

You say you want to do it cheap? Let me put it to you like this. Your suggesting that without spending big dollars your car will DOUBLE its stock wheel power output?

Dream on.

Learn to drive first, I don't care how skilled you SAY you are your still a p plater in a NA skyline i.e. nothing special (unless of course you have raced at tracks since a young age go-karts, then once you had your licence normal open track days). Do some advanced driving courses at your local track. Not THAT expensive plus they are really worth it.

I'm not flaming - you don't have realistic goals. Realistically you could get, say, 130 RWkW's out of an R33 gts without spending a ridiculous amount of money. Not 225kW. Does anyone on here have a naturally aspirated stock engine size with that power? No. No they do not. Many R33 and R34 GTS-T's don't make that much power.

Research first. Otherwise you just sound like an idiot.

Edited by R33_Dude

save the money now, sell the car for when your off your p's, and then buy a GTR, simple,

everyone wants everything NOW, well you cant have the cake and eat it too, not flaming you or anything,

because once you get to say 200 or 225kw your gona want more and more, it never stops lol, i turboed my car thinking il be happy with 180-200 atw,

i have 180+ on it at the moment, and im already over it, dont get me wrong it will be fun, but for how long?,

wish i was patient and saved the money that i have put into my car, would have bought myself a R32 Gtr, a few nice ones on the forums with fresh rebuilds,

peace

Thankyou J3TR33 ill take your word and start saving. At least you're not the typical douche bags thats here to flame p-platers. thankyou again

If you have no budget constraints it might be possible at a stretch..

Guaranteed, if you do work it that hard and it would have to be "fully worked" it'll be a temperamental pig of a thing to drive.

A much better idea is either more cubes or forced induction.

Been there, lost that.

lol, this guy wants help, he gets it and then calls them keyboard warriors.

if you really want that power, look at a motor upgrade to either Ls1 OR 350z/V35 worked motor which will cost more then a few k.

theres a few na guys here running just over 150rwkw with quite alot of $$$$ put into them.

you're talkinga bout 225kw at the wheels or engine?

then there is missr34 who got 177rwkw with nos.

lol unfortunately flaming isn't help.

Ive re- thought maybe around 150kw. smarter?

Hehe another keyboard warrior. And you're another person automatically assumes things.. how sad... im surprised that you even bothered commenting when you knew that you were going use an aggressive stance

He stated facts. Gave real examples of what would be needed to possibly achieve that power figure without turbocharging.

Now you mentioned that you fall under P Plate restrictions, and your user name has underneath it Melbourne Victoria.

http://www.arrivealive.vic.gov.au/initiati...pply_if_yo.html

From this date a probationary licence holder cannot drive a vehicle if it has:

  • An engine of eight or more cylinders;
  • a turbocharged or supercharged engine (except diesel powered vehicles);
  • an engine that has been modified to increase its performance; and/or
  • any of the following high performance six cylinder vehicles as published in the
    Government Gazette:

To get 225KW out of a N/A RB25, some SERIOUS engine modifications will need to occur! It's not simply a case of no turbocharged cars and thats all. Take for example the 350Z.

Decide whether you want to keep this Skyline and modify it in the longterm (whether it be turbo modification or whatever), and then decide whether to drive it till you're off your P's and can drive a turbocharged Skyline. If you're happy to keep it N/A for now and want to make more use of power, then as said, improve your driving skills, get out on the track, do suspension and handling modifications and learn to control the car and get the most out of it in its N/A form.

Driving skill is something that takes years to develop, and even then practice makes perfect. 225kw's in a rear wheel drive is a lot of power compared to the 90-100rwkw that an N/A Skyline puts down at the wheels in its stock form, and without the supporting mods to control that power as well as the driver skill, things can turn ugly quickly.

Just a few supporting mods to control this sort of power: Tyres that can reliably put down 225kws, the right suspension set up, and brakes to stop that sort of power. Three important things that really you can do now, in preparation for more power when you're off your P's. No point having all that power if you can't get it to the ground, and stop the car just as quickly as it goes.

Now before you call me a keyboard warrior and flaming, I'm 23, I'm on my P's till the end of this year, fortunately I don't fall under the restrictions...however... I spent a year modifying my R34 starting with suspension, wheels/tyres, and brakes, BEFORE I started modifying it to get more power. Guess what? I don't regret it one bit! It has made me a better driver now, I feel more confident and more in control of the power I now have. We all have to crawl before we can walk.

The fact for you though is that you're on your P's, and therefore the law is going to look at you differently, even if you are a sensible mature driver. It's a sad but true fact.

Now to answer your original question, the smart way to make 225kw out of an RB25DE is to turbocharge it. If all you're after is a big power figure out of an N/A car whilst falling within your restrictions, then sorry to say this, but a N/A Skyline isn't going to be the car of choice. Like madbung said, more cubes or forced induction, and there are plenty of other 6 cylinder cars with more than 2.5litres.

    • I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.
    • Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too. 
    • Any update on this one? did you manage to get it fixed?    i'm having the same issue with my r34 and i believe its to do with the smart entry (keyless) control module but cant be sure without forking out to get a replacement  
    • So this being my first contribution to the SAU forums, I'd like to present and show how I had to solve probably one of the most annoying fixes on any car I've owned: replacing a speedometer (or "speedo") sensor on my newly acquired Series 1 Stagea 260RS Autech Version. I'm simply documenting how I went about to fix this issue, and as I understand it is relatively rare to happen to this generation of cars, it is a gigantic PITA so I hope this helps serve as reference to anyone else who may encounter this issue. NOTE: Although I say this is meant for the 260RS, because the gearbox/drivetrain is shared with the R33 GTR with the 5-speed manual, the application should be exactly the same. Background So after driving my new-to-me Stagea for about 1500km, one night while driving home the speedometer and odometer suddenly stopped working. No clunking noise, no indication something was broken, the speedometer would just stop reading anything and the odometer stopped going up. This is a huge worry for me, because my car is relatively low mileage (only 45k km when purchased) so although I plan to own the car for a long time, a mismatched odometer reading would be hugely detrimental to resale should the day come to sell the car. Thankfully this only occurred a mile or two from home so it wasn't extremely significant. Also, the OCD part of me would be extremely irked if the numbers that showed on my dash doesn't match the actual ageing of the car. Diagnosing I had been in communication with the well renown GTR shop in the USA, U.P.garage up near University Point in Washington state. After some back and forth they said it could be one of two things: 1) The speedometer sensor that goes into the transfer case is broken 2) The actual cluster has a component that went kaput. They said this is common in older Nissan gauge clusters and that would indicate a rebuild is necessary. As I tried to figure out if it was problem #1, I resolved problem #2 by sending my cluster over to Relentless Motorsports in Dallas, TX, whom is local to me and does cluster and ECU rebuilds. He is a one man operation who meticulously replaces every chip, resistor, capacitor, and electronic component on the PCB's on a wide variety of classic and modern cars. His specialty is Lexus and Toyota, but he came highly recommended by Erik of U.P.garage since he does the rebuilds for them on GTR clusters.  For those that don't know, on R32 and R33 GTR gearboxes, the speedometer sensor is mounted in the transfer case and is purely an analog mini "generator" (opposite of an alternator essentially). Based on the speed the sensor spins it generates an AC sine wave voltage up to 5V, and sends that via two wires up to the cluster which then interprets it via the speedometer dial. The signal does NOT go to the ECU first, the wiring goes to the cluster first then the ECU after (or so I'm told).  Problems/Roadblocks I first removed the part from the car on the underside of the transfer case (drain your transfer case fluid/ATF first, guess who found out that the hard way?), and noted the transfer case fluid was EXTREMELY black, most likely never changed on my car. When attempting to turn the gears it felt extremely gritty, as if something was binding the shaft from rotating properly. I got absolutely no voltage reading out of the sensor no matter how fast I turned the shaft. After having to reflow the solder on my AFM sensors based on another SAU guide here, I attempted to disassemble the silicone seal on the back of the sensor to see what happened inside the sensor; turns out, it basically disintegrated itself. Wonderful. Not only had the electrical components destroyed themselves, the magnetic portion on what I thought was on the shaft also chipped and was broken. Solution So solution: find a spare part right? Wrong. Nissan has long discontinued the proper sensor part number 32702-21U19, and it is no longer obtainable either through Nissan NSA or Nissan Japan. I was SOL without proper speed or mileage readings unless I figured out a way to replace this sensor. After tons of Googling and searching on SAU, I found that there IS however a sensor that looks almost exactly like the R33/260RS one: a sensor meant for the R33/R34 GTT and GTS-T with the 5 speed manual. The part number was 25010-21U00, and the body, plug, and shaft all looked exactly the same. The gear was different at the end, but knowing the sensor's gear is held on with a circlip, I figured I could just order the part and swap the gears. Cue me ordering a new part from JustJap down in Kirrawee, NSW, then waiting almost 3 weeks for shipping and customs clearing. The part finally arrives and what did I find? The freaking shaft lengths don't match. $&%* I discussed with Erik how to proceed, and figuring that I basically destroyed the sensor trying to get the shaft out of the damaged sensor from my car. we deemed it too dangerous to try and attempt to swap shafts to the correct length. I had to find a local CNC machinist to help me cut and notch down the shaft. After tons of frantic calling on a Friday afternoon, I managed to get hold of someone and he said he'd be able to do it over half a week. I sent him photos and had him take measurements to match not only the correct length and notch fitment, but also a groove to machine out to hold the retentive circlip. And the end result? *chef's kiss* Perfect. Since I didn't have pliers with me when I picked up the items, I tested the old gear and circlip on. Perfect fit. After that it was simply swapping out the plug bracket to the new sensor, mount it on the transfer case, refill with ATF/Nissan Matic Fluid D, then test out function. Thankfully with the rebuilt cluster and the new sensor, both the speedometer and odometer and now working properly!   And there you have it. About 5-6 weeks of headaches wrapped up in a 15 minute photo essay. As I was told it is rare for sensors of this generation to die so dramatically, but you never know what could go wrong with a 25+ year old car. I HOPE that no one else has to go through this problem like I did, so with my take on a solution I hope it helps others who may encounter this issue in the future. For the TL;DR: 1) Sensor breaks. 2) Find a replacement GTT/GTS-T sensor. 3) Find a CNC machinist to have you cut it down to proper specs. 4) Reinstall then pray to the JDM gods.   Hope this guide/story helps anyone else encountering this problem!
