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

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
