Hi guys! Newbie here from Ireland looking some advice.

I am going to look at a 1997 GTS25T Skyline tomorrow night, and the guy on the phone said it has a Kakimoto exhaust, Apexi Induction kit, Top secret engine management system, aftermarket FMIC and a few other things as well.

Basically what i was wondering was are these modifications any good, if so roughly what sort of power would the car be putting out with them and i had a look at the guide allready, but was wondering if there was anything in particular on the car that i should look out for before buying?

you'd have to find out what boost he is running if its still a stock RB25 turbs i think the max boost would be the 14-15psi range. and from there you would be able to establish power, top seceret engine management system hey? sounds a little suss to me maybe it might be a chipped standard ECU by top secret.

nice one, if it is running standard boost on standard turbos what sort of power would i be looking at? And it could be just a chipped ecu, you see this car is only just out of japan and the guy thats selling it sells a few jap imports but as per usual there isnt that much information about whats been done to the car. Thats why i need you guys help! :D

GTS25t's come stock with about 185kw. With those mods you could be looking at perhaps 220kw?
That equates to almost 300bhp! Not bad, If i get the car one of the first things i will do is get her RR to find out whats shes running. I will check the boost gauge to see whats shes running at tonight and also to see if she has uprated turbo, is there anything else i should look out for?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
