Hey guys, my names glen. im actually 17, go to school still and own a 200sx s14. its done shy of 115 000km's. all stock except for a 3inch stainless turbo back exhaust, 3a racing pod filter and hybrid hdi intercooler. all of it has been paid for by me :D the car is in perfect condition except for being automatic. thinking of selling this and buying an r33 manual though. just to get a bit more power, a manual without spending heaps and i like the skyline body shapes :)

and yeah, thats me :D

Cheers guys

S14 + R33 5 speed gear box conversion = Win!

Or just get a manual S14 gear box.

I was looking into both of these options, but. they both really required me to spend a fair bit of money that i dont have, and it would still put me behind in terms of power with an r33.i've only recently done the front mount on the s14 and i would say, its done near to nothing performance wise. and ive had it tested for leaks and its fine. apparantly its just the auto draining power and the bad auto gear ratios. but, a conversion to an s14 manual. $2500. to an r33 box, close to $4000 to get it done right :D so, might just sell the s14 and look for a clean r33 manual?

cheers for the replies :down:

Did you get a tune done after installing the front mount intercooler?

You might have a slight lag in boost / power due to any extra piping you needed for the front mount intercooler...

Maybe run 1 or 2 PSI higher then stock.

Did you shield off your air pod or atleast have a cold air intake feeding air to it...

R33's are "best bang for you buck" type of car, but I hate the look of them and surprisingly, you coming from a Silvia background and being on NS like me as well, they hate R33's :thumbsup:

I would rather a R32 GTS-T or a R34 GTT, for RWD, besides that GTR in the Skyline range :)

But yeah if you are chasing after more power the RB25DET will be good for that.

Cheers for that good reply ;) im sure there are a few things i couldve done to get a bit more power, like sheilding the pod and stuff, and tuning. but..i dont really want to plough money into it. it being auto at the moment is also very annoying :P

and ive noticed, everyone on NS hates r33's :rant: but, i do quite like the shape :) always wanted a skyline, but got the silvia as it was cheap and great condition :) now, i really want a manual and power, my chance to get a skyline :/ but yeah, might go for the rb25det route with an r33 :) theyre cheap, theres a lot in good condition and, manual without having to spend heaps on a conversion :P

The performance of a R33 is decent, the usual power / suspension / wheel and brake mods and you get a decent power out put.

You still can make a R33 GTS-T looks decent, as you know, just work on the stance and a decent fitment of wheels and it look alright :)

I guess you can sell up the S14 and go the R33.

BTW you got the S14A (updated) front?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
