you "BOUGHT" a stock R33.

BOUGHT = purchased

BROUGHT = to bring it somewhere with you.

Hope this helps.

You have no idea how much this sh!ts me. Its one of my pet peevs. How can soo many people get that wrong. It basic English FFS!!!

/end rant

Sell your car for $10k, buy a $18k built R33 with 320rwkw.

Cost $8k

Or do it yourself and spend upwards of $20k on top of your purchase price lol, oh not to mention the 2 years it will probably take to get all the parts, put it together and make it work.

buy my r33 its up for sale in SA 330+rwkw on a forged engine, has all the parts and brakes, plus its a SLEEPER

Personally for that power level and stock engine i would be running E85 and the following mods.

3037 on standard exhaust manifold with 18psi can

Power FC or Vipec (alot of users rave about the vipec)

Sard 850 injectors

Bosch 044 internal pump

Standard inlet Manifold

Decent Boost controller

Blitz LM cooler (retains stock inlet piping)

Z32 AFM

Real good exhaust 3.5inch

On 20 ish psi you should see upward of 320rwkw with a good tuner.

Heres a dyno graph of my mates R33 and mine, his in Red and 3582 turbo... my car in blue running HKS3037.

Oh and a pic of my engine bay to show how stealth you can have it all looking.

Stealth is the way to go. Especially since your new car is cop bait, the last thing you want after spending all your money modding, is to have that nice yellow sticker on your windscreen. I've gone the "stealth way" and I'd be more than happy to let a copper inspect under my bonnet... hmmm, that doesn't sound right...........

exactly... got pulled over the other day... only got defected for pod as they could not see my low mount 3071R :)

gotta do something about that pod tho... $84 everytime i get pulled over...

PS buy my 260rwkw Skyline... much cheaper than building one yourself OP :D

Hahahaha.

Havn't seen you around in a while man :blink:

yeah.. work started making me work for my money.

and I got rid of the skyline so I kinda spend my time elsewhere..

but you know..

occasionally come back to see what's crack-a-lackin and that..

watsupwitchoo?

Brought anything for your car lately?

Cheapest 320kw i can think of:

Take your 25 apart. Get a $400 rb30. Keep the short motor. Clean up the surfaces on the head and the block. Get that head welded up. While the head is off take to it with a drill and tap in a little fitting to drain your oil back into the sump. Just T it into your turbo drain if you want. And bolt the rb25 head back on. Should be about $200 in labour for the tidying of the head. Use your standard manifolds and all that. Chuck on an XR6T turbo. Grab some 550 nismo injectors as they will just plug into your stock wiring loom. and put in an 040 fuel pump. Oh and grab yourself an ebay cooler and an rb20 ecu. :) Use a std nissan head gasket

That is keeping things as cheap as I can think of.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
