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

    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
