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.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
