So I'm currently half way through replacing a few parts on my S2 R33 Skyline, just wondering if I'm going about it all the right way/any suggestions.

This is whats already happened.

HKS Air filter.

Blitz FMIC

3" Turbo back exhaust

Full Tein coilovers

Electronic boost controller

This is whats going on at the moment.

Apexi power FC yet to be installed/tuned.

Hypergear Hiflowed RB25det turbo.

Z32 AFM.

555 Nismo sidefeed injectors.

Would I have any use in upgrading my fuel pump at this stage or will the stocko be capable?

Any insight into how much of a power increase I can expect to see if my tuner knows his stuff?

Anything else I should be considering?

Thanks, Jess.

Thanks guys, is the walbro 255 a direct replacement? Trying to keep everything stock looking for now

Pretty much with just the rewire IIRC.

Best way to do it is with a goal in mind. What are you trying to get out of the car? Read up on build threads and see what others have done that's worked. A common mistake is getting new injectors and maxxing them out because they're not big enough. Why buy two sets?

Plan and you'll be fine. Plenty of helpful people around.

    • 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
