Have you got a pod filter installed? that will make your spool louder aswell as the low revs fluttering but, if you want the flutter louder again get a metal intake pipe and if you want Vl style tsuuuu tsuuuuuu tsuuuuuuu fully hectic brah flutters you need to block off your bov altogether.

You can pick up a lot of good basic mods cheap second hand btw. Other than that simple things like intercoolers, boost T's, pod's and exhausts can be had on ebay cheap new. People will tell you that "oh noes is not japanese it will break " Which is a crock of shit Ive used plenty of cheap basic parts and none of it has failed me yet nor had any side effects. Theres cheap parts you can buy new and then theres stuff you dont buy at all.

If you were I (CWHUTIDIDTHAR) my first line of mods would be:

  • pod/panel filter (Imo I prefer pod filters in a cold air box compared to panel filters in the stock airbox ) *You can make yourself a cold air box out of aluminium sheet pretty easy or steel if your on a budget.
  • exhaust
  • FMIC Intercooler 600x300x75 with 2.5 inch piping max for a standard rb25
  • Electronic boost controller or boost T + gauge (to wind the boost up a little)

That should get you started on the power train and not cost much if you dont go electronic boost controller

Go and do a skid now :P

    • 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.
