Hey All !!

Finally after many years of wanting, i have finally gone and bought myself my first Skyline - R33 GTS S2, ok ok so its not a turbo at this stage but im very very happy .. Im sure many of you would have said it yourselves after buying your first Skyline ' Why didnt i do this sooner '...!! Anyways Im not massive in the car tech knowledge stuff but im really keen to learn more about these awesome machines, so im sure you will see my random questions filter through from time to time.

If anyone wants to drop a line and say hi, pls do so ill be sure to reply.

Cheers

R

Hi Nissan lovers

I own a 2000 RS Four V Stagea series 2 fully optioned not modded as seen in my pic.

Now I just want to go cruising all the time as i live near the hills but needs friends with taste and class

like Skyline and other Stagea owners. I have worked as a volunteer for the Classic Adelaide Rally and

have stage notes hehehe and I've trade marked the CARave. (car-rave) were you go crusing to a quiet spot and rave

on to the beats from boots of cars :iluvff: Happy New Year to all

Hi R , Welcome mate - SAU , are you going to service it yourself , any probs give us a holler !!!!!!!!

Cheers. Not Sure!

I'm a major newb :geek: . i thought I knew it all until i actually bought a car with a snail (lol)

in the past all my mates had turbo's but i bought a lancer with a evo 6 bodykit :stupid:

mildly worked I got 88kw atw, was fun till a chick pulled out in front of me and cleaned

me up. Just had surgery on my shoulder and feel great after three years of agony,

now i want to go fast again its an addiction.

I bought a manual boost control (bleed valve) and a boost gauge but when I open the bonnet they dont just magically

go were they should :blink:

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
