hey guys,

had my skyline for a while now, its stock apart from front mount intercooler, split front dump pipe-full 3 inch exhaust, pod and boost controller. i have a power fc for it which i want to finally install and get tuned. i've allowed about 1000 bucks for tuning, (is this enough??) and im going to have a little bit of money left over, im thinking about getting a new fuel pump and a fuel pressure reg.

what do you guys think? would my extra money be better spent on different mods? and what sort of power output can i expect (roughly) with these mods? and also reccomend some tuners on the Coast/brisbane area, i'm thinking gavin wood-autotek.

any feedback would be greatly appreciated

cheers guys

matt spry PITS

mark - GODZILLA MOTORsport..

easily get it installed and tuned for 1k and will have lots left over..

awesome thanks mate,yeah ive met Matt before he seemed pretty cool, heard he's a bit picky with the cars he tunes though??

Hey mate I have pretty much the same mods and i took my power fc to mark at godzilla. he fitted and tuned it for about 500 bucks from memory. He is great to deal with and really knows his shit :D

thanks mate, yeah ive heard nothing but good things about that shop eh, that sort of price would be great too, what sort of power figure did you end up with??

yeah my pfc was installed and tuned by mark.. was $545, didnt wanna post a figure as yours may require more tuning or he may have put his price up (mine was couple yrs ago).. but still 1k easily and you don't need to worry.. he knows his stuff and will do an excellent job

Should be able to get a fuel pump and tune for that price but make sure you got decent coil packs and spark plugs. i had to replace mine which added another $800 for coils and spark plugs.

yeah true, the coils are standard and considering the age of the car id say they could do with replacing eh, thanks mate

you wont need an aftermarket fuel reg. the stock one will work fine for your power figures

really? well thats a good thing, maybe just a fuel pump and new coils then? ive been looking at a Walbro in-tank item? wat are these like anyone?? and most probably splitfire coils.

Mark will recommend tomei :cheers: I made about 180rwkw on a 40 odd degree day. He doesnt try to push every single ounce of power possible out of the engine which suited me fine. I asked for a safe tune and thats what I got.

I will definately going back after my next round of mods for another tune.

ok cool, yeah that sounds like exactly the sort of tune i am after, definately safe, considering the age of the car and the amount of standard parts :cool: think il have to give him a call for sure

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
