The 25 is 18mm taller, other than that it's the same dimentions. If you get a s1 25, you can use the rb20 loom and ecu with a nistune and vct controller or z32 ecu (internal vct controll).

It's the best thing I ever did with my gts-t..

Yeah they fit piece of piss...

You could use the power fc with a vct controller but I would recommend a Z32 ecu with RB25 loom and nistune as per XRATED above :)

awsome build buddy. did you wire the 25 in yourself or pay some one if so how much.

No wiring needed because I'm running a RB20 ecu, loom and sensors... Just needed to buy a RPM switch to turn the VCT on/off (I used a Greddy MSS) and have that wired up which was pretty easy

Finally got around to doing the brakes upgrade.

Went from standard stuff to...

R34 Front Calipers to suit 310mm disk

RDA slotted rotors all around

Hels bradied brake lines

QFM A1RM pads all round

Looks a lot better now, fills out the wheels more and should hold up well for the time attack on Tuesday night.

Finally got down the track last night and managed a 58.0 at Barbagallo short track which isn't too shabby, also picked up the trophy for fastest RWD on the night :) Only revving it to 7000rpm and using 1.4bar on the track and everything held up mint with no issues at all!

Managed to lock up the front left and flat spot the tyre being way too eager on the brakes into the first corner early in the night and was going 0.5sec faster on every session so there is a lot more time to take out of that in the future. I used some Dunlop D02G 225/45/17 that were second hand and on the tread wear limit, I'll have another go on them next time and rotate the flat spot to the rear before I bring out some 235 RE55S and see what I can do.

I think I should be able to run a 56 with the Dunlops and try for a 55 on the Bridgestones in the future :)

Just purchased myself front lower castor rod brace and going to get some front fender braces soon as well just to stiffen the old girl up a little more before I head back on track.

Also have a Hel's oil cooler kit with thermostat on its way to keep the oil temps in check when thrashing,

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      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?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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.
