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

Just do:

  • Exhaust from Turbos back.
  • Upgrade injectors.
  • Maybe upgrade fuel pump.
  • ECU
  • Boost controller
  • Splitfire Coils.

This should get you very noticable power upgrades without costing you a liver and keeping a nice stock appearance.

Bob.

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.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
