Hi guyz i just purchased a silver 1996 R33 GTsT,66,000 genuine kms, stock as a rock with 19" wheels.

What do you recomend to be the first upgrade? i am new to the turbo sean, and i am getting a 3 point alarm and turbo timer fitted.

Should i intercool, bigger turbo, internal engine mods........

or stay with stock and go body kit, suspention?

also do you guyz know of a preformance shop that covers all base's in sydney, near cambeltown/liverpool.

cheers for all the help.

just drive the car for awhile as it is, get a good feel for it, then try make it faster if u want.

ALARM FIRST!

then start with full exhaust , hi flowing panel filter with cold air intake, boost controller and then it starts to get expensive :( also there is a guy on these forums who remaps standard ecus for better performance. i think his name is toshi or something.

enjoy

Eaisest would be a K&N high flow airfilter.

I wouldn't bother with pods and cold air induction kits, it's already a cold air induction as is.

A nice $100..to easy :cheers:

...for starters anyway....hehe

And the best advice without a doubt is to keep searching and reading and re-reading these forums. It's the best for learning all sorts of stuff

Some people even do stuff for you for a case of beer !

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
