Hi ppl,

After my research, I've decided to go the whole hog all at once. Reason: Seems to me that if certain mods are staged, this affects the next mod, then the next mod, etc - also could affect performance, reliability etc.

For Example:

If you just do boost (too high), then you risk reliability so you should do FMIC at the same time. If you do turbo but not injectors, you risk leaning out. If you want a new plenum, you have to think of design considerations for the FMIC. Of course ECU is a gimme cause you once you do boost & FMIC, you need to control iginition and fuel better. Then you need a new fuel system to keep the juice flowing.

I've been told to expect maybe 450 HP ?? Any comments on this ??

Anyway, should be a weapon when it's done. I'll tell you when It's finished - It'll be about a month .

Cheers,

Sounds good to me... I would suggest a Greddy Profec B boost controller, cheap and effective. You definately will need a metal headgasket for anything over 400hp, unless you wanna replace the stock one 10 times a week. Heres what I would put on the vehicle, just being more specific and adding a few:

- EGT Gauge

- A/F Gauge

- Boost Gauge

- Metal Headgasket

- Head Deburring/Semi-Polish

- Port Match the Manifolds

- HKS SSQV or Blitz SS BOV

- Wider Rear Tires :burnout:

Sounds excellent. Wish I was still in Queenscliff.

What would 400-450hp pull 0-100 and 1/4mile?

What is daily driving like? Is the car well controlled or all over the place at this power level?

Don't know that answers to these - but will let you know when it's all done.

Hmmm, good point re: metal head gasket.!

Re Boost:I think we talked about 10-12 maybe upto 14 to keep the reliability there. I'll do what Megs suggested and get the expected/target figures up front, before the work comences.

I know where you are coming from - however, the shop I am taking it to knows EMS back to front and inside out - And I am not going to f*&k with it, so I'm going with the flow in this case. Plus, the new EMS range are pretty good I hear.

Oh, and I enjoy supporting Australian Businesses.

Well i've just had a Racing Gear 2400 pressure plate put in and it feels awesome... Unfortunately i haven't taken it for a drive coz i'm getting heaps of mods done too, but the clutch feels really smooth and nice... Compared to a similar clutch which was in another skyline which felt awful... My new one feels similar to the standard one, but a little bit heavier where as this other clutch was heavy and stiff all the way through...

Or if you want a serious clutch go for a OS Giken twin-plate... I heard they rule!!!

brendan...

Good to see another R33 being given the full treatment :uh-huh:

One thing though... A custom plenum you're planning on getting... I don't really like that idea...

SubZero have done a bit of flow testing on their plenum, so that's quite alright, but if you're planning on getting your mechanics to knock one up, it'll be questionable...

Getting even flow to each individual cylinder is an art, and takes a TON of R&D... I can guarantee you that you will have *very* distorted flow seperation figures from a custom plenum, unless they make up a dozen designs in R&D...

I'd suggest the SubZero or GReddy plenum for your car with those mods.

Hey Brendanf,

Sounds like you have a good package coming. I did pretty much the same thing. I only had a high flowed turbo and bleed then I did a bunch of mods at once. I got FMIC, Plenum, XF throttle body, and EMS all at once. I have run as high as 17psi (getting a bit high for my head gasket) and done 205rwkw. As far as boost control goes, the EMS has a built in EBC, you just need a solonoid to hook up to it.

Who is doing the work for you?

Jeff.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
