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)

    • You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!
    • http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.
    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
