Hi everyone...

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

white mostly stock

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

eres a few pics of what it looked like when i purchased it

i cant complain cuz i got it prety cheap and i had to keep the rents happy by buying a non-turbo before everyone pays me out lol

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

Insides immaculate cant complain

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

secondly

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

any suggestions will be accepted

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY :P

Cheapest and most legal way to increse your performance is to improve your power to weight ratio...

Remove hicas, remove body kit, subs and whatever other bling or doof it has.

Get some lightweight rims

There'd be well over 100kg to be saved without getting serious.

A lighter car = a better car allround.

strip your boot interior

take out your spare wheel and jack

like so

and then get defected for not having a spare wheel or a Jack.

As for the thread topic, if you want more power sell the car and but a GTS-t it'll be cheaper in the long run.

and then get defected for not having a spare wheel or a Jack.

1) got told by regency that i dont need to have a spare and jack.

i can be defected if

A) i have a jack and no spare

B) i have a spare and no jack

2) if i got defected , a spare is the least of my worries.

Hi everyone...

sup.

I just recently purchased a 33 non-turbo..

condolences

white mostly stock

it came with the vertex sides and rear..

combine these with fire and youre on a winner.

screw keeping the rents happy. half the fun is pissing them off.

I hated the look of it so i bought new stock tail lights, s1 stock rear bar, m-spec sides and a 6 inch cannon with 5 inch outlet..

i wouldve gone straight pipes. im starting to dislike my cannon.

Insides immaculate cant complain

always a good thing.

I just have a few problems and things i wana ask

firstly

what can i do to add more power to it... its just got a pod filter, air meter and strut brace..??

short answer, LSx.

secondly

what else do you guys personally think i should add to the exterior to add some more style in it??

put the standard mspec kit on, slam it, neat low offset wheels, tint. no rice.

i was thinking illuminous skyline garnish but i cant find any around.. would anyone have a clue where to fine them??

dont. but if you must, ebay.

would anyone suggest putting an m-spec front??

yes.

any suggestions will be accepted

dont bother with trying to get power out of an rb25de. better off taking up cocaine as a recreational hobby. get an LSx if you want power. keep stock aero, decent jap wheels, etc. and dont get graphics.

also if anyone interested in buying a vertex side and rear bodykit let me know.. the rear and sides have a few scratched

and im also selling r33 Chrome tail lights.. which i will add a pic of.. there in mint condition

heres some pics of it after i took of the sides..(I still need to take the rear and tail lights off)...

just clarifying what others are sayin - you _can_ get power out of a na, but for the amount of money you'd have to spend, you really shouldn't go down that road.

If you must keep the na, keep it tidy, enjoy the fuel economy, and at the most I'd go for an exhaust and rims...but nothing loud or anything. But having owned 3 turbo cars now, its not even worth talking performance in a na. They can still be fun - especially in the twisties etc, but you just cant make them go properly fast without emptying your wallet into it.

Goodluck finding a rear Skyline garnish. Rare as all f**k. If you do find one, it's probably broken. I'm also assuming you're talking about the LED one? That lights up the word SKYLINE on your boot?

6 inch canon?! What the fuuuuuck?! That's massive!! Is there any real need for that size? my mate had a 5" system installed on his Cressida (5M engine) and it ended up burning out 2 of the cylinders due to lack of compression because the exhaust was too big.

Turbo cars, the bigger the better. Non-turbo cars... not so much. It's like seeing CRX's or Lancer's with twin exhaust systems... it actually makes the car lose power.

And the quicker you sell those Crystal rear lights plus that rear bar... the better.

needs better wheels for a start.

One problem with that is its 4 stud so there is not a lot of choice with offset

Fix up the couple of things drive it responsibly and later down the track get a turbo variant

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
