Aeey. My dad and I just recently bought a 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 Gts25-t, we are probably going to get it in about 10 days+ from today. All I know about the car is that it has a Greddy Induction system, apexi turbo timer and a hks turbo booster. It is probably round 200rwkw of power but what could I do to get it to round 250- 300rwkw. I'd like prices and where to purchase and the pros who can do it 4 me. I'm located in Roxburgh Park near epping, broadmedows and craigieburn ( if you don't know where roxy is:] )

Seems the quickest solution would be Stao from hypergear, for a better turbo, and Trent from Status Tuning. There would be more reward in searching forced induction performance, and working out your own combo.

ecu

3071

z32 afm

fmic

pod filter

splitfires

button clutch

500cc+ injectors

044

search every one of these... you'll need 'em all ;)

oh and to make use of 300rwkwnyou'll probaly want about 4k in suspension work and a 1.5 way or 2 way locker

also, creatd motorsports are near you

WTF!!...keep reading ....everything u need can be found here...if u cant find it u aint looking hard enough, so keep looking....good luck ;)

PS....what is a HKS turbo booster

lol not too sure myself, it was on the sheet list of extras

Do you have at least 10k?

Otherwise forget chasing 300rwkw IMO.

Just do some basic mods, get a tune and live with it.

yeah the budget is 15k on mods etc., once we get round 300kW if ther are left overs it'l be spent on sound system/ speakers/ audio etc.

that was what i was originaly gona do, but i dont want 4wd

Then save the money and buy a flat out stupidly modified GTST

i.e, smart people capitalize on other peoples money pits

Amen^

If I could go back in time I would have bought someone elses money pit instead of digging my own. Why start on the surface when you can start 50 metres deep lol.

I'm not gona buy another R33 n sell this 1 because-

1- not getting a gtr because i dont wanna 4WD (as i hav prev. mentioned)

2- i dont wana buy sum1 elses problems

3- i bought this car from my dad's trustworthy friend

BTW!

what would be the price of a reasonable suspension upgrade suitable for 250-300rwkw

thnx for the recos, i'll consider/contact them once i get insurance

They are nice reasons mate, i too had that view as well for quite a while, infact a large number of people probably did. Especially if you've been around 5+ years as those cars just didnt exist way back when.

Times have changed though & this time around I've purchased a very well modded car, circuit ready - for nowhere near what it would cost starting from scratch. I'll have it hopefully in the next week or so :(

There are plenty of brilliantly modified cars here in Vic, from reputable workshops and most of them are regular's @ trackdays etc.

I would strongly suggest you go along to such events, most people have a price they would sell their car for - GTR or GTS-t.

(FYI a 300rwkw GTR will be faster than a GTS-t hands down simply dude to grip)

If you go with the attitude of "someone elses problem" i think that's silly. You'll have just as many problems (if not more) in the process of modifying your own.

Buying someone else's reliably running car, means they've gone through that and sorted it out in due course :)

What is your intended use for the car?

How old are you?

You also need to factor not only suspension, but brakes and tyres. I mean 18's & tyres alone will come in around 3k depending on what you decide :)

You'd mince probably 6-8k just in suspension/brakes/diff/clutch and that's without even anything relating to the engine bay which wouldn't see a cent out of 7-8k IMO.

Otherwise if you wanna pursue this plan - read Hamish's post above, he's listed the parts you'll need.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
