also guys, im gettin killed out there vs my gf's brothers my02 rex :|

what am i going to need to put him in his place? hes got exhaust and upped boost.. 12psi?

will exhaust and fmic and 12psi do the trick? or will i need to get ecu change and injectors..

straight through 3"exhaust, FMIC & 12psi & make sure your pod is heat sheilded and has a cold air intake, you will get heaps more power! you don't need ecu & injectors for those, but start saving for an ecu for later on. dunno how it will go against the WRX, but if it was me id hang on to the skyline.

Full exhaust and you'll chop him dude!

The get a good boost controller to hold 12psi (elc holds better)...

I love s14 (series 2)s aswell, but atleast do your exhaust b4 u let the car go, r33s sound a HELL of alot nicer than an s14 does!!!

Power vs weight ratios, both cars will be similar with similar mods aswell, you wont loose anything with the skyline except the problem of the stock ECU not bein able to go past 12psi where as an s14 one can...

Hang onto the car until you've done the exhaust, you have to give it a chance, rb25s are awsome engines!

it's a lot of effort to sell then buy a new car.

i would suggest get straight thru exhaust at least and see how you feel. if you don't feel any gain, and are still unhappy then get something else.

personally, there is no way i would go from my R33 to the s14a. for a day to day car the skyline is soo much more comfortable, and ultimately is easy to get big power from :aroused: .

it will be a totally different car once you have added fmic and boost control, trust me :(.

The 02 rexy has 14 psi stock boost !!

Although 02 is the slowest of the late model rexes you need a fair bit of work to beat him . Stock 02 rexy and stock r33 the rexy will leave you for dead .

You will need a power f/c , front mount and more boost just to keep up with him .

Get a bigger turbo as well and then you will chop him for sure .

If he wants to beat you then he will have to spend a few $ on bigger turbo and ecu , then it will all come down to traction , dont forget he has 4wd .

5 speed rexes have a weak gearbox though ( they pop second gear ) .

So there you go and i speak from experience , i have owned a few rexes ( still have 02 sti ) and i have a couple gtrs as well , rexes are not a match for gtrs though .

It's also very hard to find a good s14a. Well, when I was looking that was the major determining factor in me buying my Skyline.

Insurance is also more expensive on s14 200sx's than on r33 gtst's. Well, it is here in Sydney anyway.

S14 should b cheaper then R33 cause it isn't a Import

yea i'm thinking the same way not sure to go Gts-t R33 bigger Clean car turbo i thinking about getting one

But i Love my Sr20's and am a die hard 4 fan but i Hate S14 look and am to poor for a S15 and i'm over my s13 :(

Looking at 180sx maybe

have my Heart Set on Dream car Gtr r32 but there just outa my price Range and the Gts-t have Rb20s in them not Rb25 :P

o the drama

I think i'll go with Gts-t R33 and save on the Side not modding it till i have Money for a GTR r32 :D

    • That looks good, but I think you're going to need much beefier side skirts now.
    • They are daft and there's a reason it never caught on. Steering feel? We don't need no stinking steering feel!
    • I gotta pull you up on this. It's driving me crazy. A shutter is something that closes, like over a window or in a cmera. The word you want is shudder. That LSD is clearly f**ked. Take it to a diff shop and get it disassembled and examined by an expert. YOu might have plates welded together or something equally crazy.
    • Define "starting to fail". Wy not just rebuild them?
    • Check the Nistune doco. There are a few assumptions being made here that might not be valid. I will list the things that occur to me: Base map. Base map for what? Base map for Z32? Then the cranking pulse width is probably wrong for an RB25. The extra 500cc of capacity might well be enough to prevent it from catching. Base map for RB25? I don't think you can load one of those into a Z32. You have to just make the settings correct for an RB25 in the Z32 base map. That is either K or the TIM to get the pulsewidth right. Loom. You bought a loom for an RB. And you plugged it into a Z32 ECU. Did you make sure that any iwre differences were swapped. From memory, there's at least a couple. And as per the others, I would suggest making sure that the fuel pressure is correct while cranking and that the injectors are actually flowing as expected. They really must come out and go on the bench, unless you do find that you have messed up as per above points. I would also suggest watching in Nistune to make sure that everything is reading correctly. That the correct binary flags are raised at the right time (like the crank signal), that there's no stupid values in K or TIM. That you have not got mismatched firmware for the ECU and/or a wrong image loaded.
