Stock R33 Gtr Mods


Recommended Posts

I know there is ALOT of topics like this but I would like to see what people have to say about my plans.

So I am looking at buying a completely stock r33 GTR (got one insight) and have got the following mods planned (not very mechanically switched on like you guys which is why I need your opinion)

Blitz nur spec r exhaust, decat, front and dump pipes, blitz front mount intercooler, apexi induction kit, coilovers, wheels and tyres.

If anyone has a idea of what power gains I will get from that I am very interested to know. Also if there is anything I am missing (I know there will be) please let me know. Looking to spend 5-6k on mods to start.

Thanks

Leave the stock intercooler in there and leave the stock intake alone as well as they are both fine for 400kw at the wheels. Also don't change the dumps till you upgrade the turbos

spend the money you save on an ecu and tune those 2 things will make a massive difference

What ecu would be my best option? Doing what you said would save me a lot of money. Thanks

There are lots of plug in options

Power fc is well known but a little limited by today's standards

Haltec, link, vipec and a few others as well, talk to who you plan on getting to tune it for you which they believe is best for you

Depending on age/condition, I'd look at an oil pump too, to avoid grenading things when the power goes up.

The thing is that's an engine out job. Which is a fair bit of work just to do the pump.

There's the whole cost : benefit : risk analysis to to be done.

(00)SKYLINE(00) is spot on. Don't need injectors, don't need spitfires.

Get the exhaust, ECU, Cam gears and tune it up, will give great results. You'll be very pleased with how much these small things will get you.

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.   
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
