Hey, Im new here, and just got my first skyline.

Was wondering how to make her go faster/perform better.

It came with a blitz BOV, blitz turbo timer, Apexi POD, 3inch Custom Exaust from the turbo (so ive been told) and aftermarket 17" rims.

Its a R33 gts-t, '93 model. it also has a 400R front end on it. I wanna spend another $5000 on it, just wondering what would be the best thing to spend it on. Im thinking along the lines of a FMIC, Cold Air Induction, maybe even a bigger turbo, if money allows it.

Since im new, any comments/suggestions greatly appreciated. Let me know.

Thanks.

1) turbo back zaust (and get a cold air box for that POD)

2) FMIC

3) EBC (electronic boost controller) (boost to anything <= 14 psi for non track use)

4) Zaust Cam gear

5) Apexi PFC computer

That should see you to 200rwkw

Have I forgotten anything guys/gals?

If i had what you have atm :( i would go for:

Rough Figures (Shopping Around)

FMIC = $1300

PowerFC + Controller = $1100

Tuning = $600

Adjustable Cam Gear Ex = $200

Aftermarket Turbo = $1550

Fuel Pressure Regulator = $200

Simple Bleed Valve = $50

Maybe a Fuel Pump (depends on the condition of you stock one)

It should get you to $5000 depends on what prices you get the items for and what type of turbo eg. 2530, 2540 etc and how much tuning comes down too.

Cheers Rob

edit: some on the items I referred to would make it in budget if they were brought second hand if possible like the turbo the FPR or even a fuel pump. It really comes down to shopping around. Personally I would get the FMIC the adjustable cam gear done and a powerfc inc. a good tune, and then see how you feel from there.

Woops, forgot about the fuel pump which you WILL have to replace when you get the PFC. I would not worry about a new turb until you a sick of 200wrkw. Trust me, it wont take long :(

Well if you are going to give it more power, then you would need better brakes. My brakes are working shit at 250kw, but hey cant afford Brembos :)

People want to spend money for all go, then they cant stop...

Dude if I got to do it all over again - screw suspension and screw body work and screw gauges lol.

I recommend this and in this order:

- Pod Filter + Box/Partition

- Turbo Back 3" Exhaust

- Front Mount Intercooler

Want more?

- PowerFC

- ~13 psi boost

Then you should know where to go on your own :D

    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
    • Yes then it will turn on but I want the car features to work  
    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
