Hey Guys,

I have a Series one r33. My current mods are Power FC, FMIC, turbo back exhaust, splitfire coilpacks, Walbro 550hp fuel pump, Boost controller, z32 afm, pretty much all the basics.

It makes just over 200rwkw in its current state at 14psi. Just wondering what would be my most effective next modification?? I didnt want to spend thousands on turbo upgrades just yet, definetly down the track, I was thinking more along the lines of a cam package? Im not too familiar with what sort of cams will be right for my application. Just wondering about your thoughts and experiences with what works etc.?? Details and brands would be much help.

Any help and input is appriciated

Thanks

Ok so I may have to just bite the bullet and stop being a tight ass!! lol. The highflow idea sounds good, I already have some 550cc injectors here in my garage that i picked up a couple of months ago, and the 230 to 240rwkws is probably where i want to get to next.

replacing injecotrs in a RB25 is a bitch.....i did mine a while back and never doing them again.....no skin left on my fat hands lol....but yeah 250 with a responsive turbo is the way to go for a street car......555cc injectors with a highflowed turbo and a really good tune should see you over the 240 mark no probs...

Yeah tell me about it. I had my stock ones cleaned a while back and took them out and put them back in. NEVER again!!! Ill just pay my tuner to do it. Itll take him half the time most probably!!

Ok great so high flow turbo here we come. Who is generally the best to do high flows?? Any in Brisbane??

how well does the current setup hookup and how do u find it to drive

how well was it tuned do you know

ive found theres oodles of response and nice-ness locked away in a basic max power tune

Its not too bad, pretty responsive and doesnt chew the fuel (450-500kms per tank depending on the weight of my foot), It made 205.6rwkw but my knock level was around 50-60. So I think he played with it a bit, the final result was 201.4rwkw and max knock was around 35-40. Ive had it tuned previously at a reputable workshop (wont mention names), and it made 185rwkw with knock at about 50-60 so it was then retuned at my current tuner (BPS in Brisbane). I havent been in any other skylines with pfc so i wouldnt be able to compare.

Id be happy with 250rwkw, just so it stays reliable because after all it is my daily driver too.

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
