hello all, i havnt yet bought a car (see my thread below) but am leaning towards one of two R33 skylines, one is a completely stock 95 GTR V-spec with 55'000 k's, the other is a lightly modded 95 GTR with 72'000 k's, latter has splitfire coils, 18-10 rims, pod filter, heavy duty clutch and cat back exhaust.

my goal is a responsive and reliable 260 awkw or 280 rwkw, i'm looking for fast spool up, and good throttle response as i plan to street drive the car as well as a few track days, am after RELIABILITY, i am thinking the following mods might give me what i'm after

  • HKS GT-ss turbo's
  • APEXI power FC ECU
  • Z32 AFM's
  • turbo back exhaust with high flow cat
  • heavy duty clutch
  • 700cc injectors (gives room if i want to go more latter)
  • bosch 040 fuel pump

what else would be suggested for such a set up? and all up, how much am i looking at spending on this?

Ok, the thread below this one has that information on there.

I realise you're new here, so here's a link, read it from start to finish and you will have a much better idea of where you stand; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/236467-definitive-guide-to-building-300-330awkw-gt-r/page__view__findpost__p__4138704

In future please search first, you'll struggle to come up with a question that hasnt been asked and answered before.

duly noted, cheer's mate :) as you know it can be a little daunting trying to find the right information in such a massive resource as this forum, again thanks.

So much to weigh up when it comes to buying. It all depends on your initial outlay and what you are willing to spend down the track. If you want the better car (assuming they are both in good nick), then go the V-spec and spend more later. Before you buy either one, get the engine compression tested which will give a rough idea on engine condition.

If 260-280 kw is the goal then go for R34 N1/2860-7 turbos to retain max response, (will still pull a over 300kw fairly reliably if pushed).

Power FC will do just fine, plus cam gears.

A good clutch is needed to hold the power, my choice was Nismo Supercoppermix Twin.

Fuel pump won't be needed but injectors will need to be min 550cc and will be heaps for that power goal with room to push up closer to 350kw. Ensure you get a full exhaust with good dumps, big front pipes, high flow cat and about 3.5" cat back exhaust.

Standard air flow meters should see around 300kw, give or take 20kw, so will be OK for now.

Newer coilpacks are better to have for peace of mind, although the standard ones perform really well even at higher power levels.

That gives you a quick heads up but above all - SEARCH, as the site has bucket loads of info, particularly on what you want.

dont go Z32s, no need, go twin nismo's, direct swap and easier to fit/install/mate up

go for the one with splitfires if the conditions are roughly the same, one less thing to fail/die (coilpacks common mtbf part in GTR/GTST)

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
