hey all, i will be in the market for an r33 gtst skyline in june, i have budget of $19000, but want money left over for mods, im willing to spend between $17000, and $17500 for a decent car. with the left over money i want to spend it on mods that will get me into the high to medium 13 brackets, i would like any info on how thish could be achieved, with around $2000, taking into account that the car i will buy will probably have an exhaust and an air filter, any hints, or ideas? please help.

Lightened flywheel is one way to go - but can make the car harder to drive and hard to launch properly..

another way is a full turbo back exhaust, pod and a bit more timing.. that and perhaps a bleed valve for a bit more boost should see you with a late 13 easy....

I bought an R33 with exhaust and pod. I have bought a power FC and boostcontroller with has got me to 13.7

This would be slighty more than 2 grand with retail prices, however the same basics would be availabe with a Air/fuel computer e.g AFC and a boostcontroller. Both could be yours for as little as $500 ( if using the 2nd hand route)

Say hello, listen to peoples various suggestions. Take what you think is best and go with it.

welcome to the community :D

The lightweight flywheel fitted to my old car did nothing to make the car harder to launch or drive. I put one in my car and there was no issues at all. I didn't think you had a lightweight flywheel in your car Cam, perhaps it has a balance issue or something.

If you want a flywheel that has been tested by a few then the ogura 4.8kg is a sure bet.

No issues with balancing - it's a stocker.. A light flywheel by design will make the car rev harder and faster, but will also loose momentum easier than a stocker if not taken into account when launching and during normal driving..

Anyways - a high 13 should easily be within reach with some or all of the mods listed..

b005t,

the fuel ecconomy is slightly better (accelleration uses more fuel than cruising obviously). The car will slow down faster (engine braking) when the throttle is shut in gear, coasting you do with the clutch 'in' therefore no difference.

The car is easier to launch and nicer to drive , any comment's to the contrary are incorrect speculation.

I believe the lightweight flywheels are now $600 or less, a bargain!

When I get the gtr I'll be fitting one to that for sure.

yes it would have an adverse effect on an auto since the auto has no clutch and flywheel to begin with :starwars: . Bottom line ios you can't do this mod to an auto.

Auto's benifit from modifications to the stall convertor and valve body tho'. the first increases the stall rpm and torque multiplication for great launches. The second increases the speed at which the auto can be shifted and reduces the 'slip' into each gear.

    • 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.
