Hi all.

This is my first ever post in here so bear with me please.

I have a December 1997, R33 GTST Anniversary edition Skyline. MYR331.

The car has 48,000km on the dial, and is in a condition that can only be described as very very good.

The only thing I have done to the car, is install a complete Whiteline suspension kit to tame the rear end.

Ever since Whiteline worked on the car, it has handled like it was on rails, and corners quickly in the wet, or dry, with predictable drift.

I would like to know what the majority of R33 owners do to their cars in relation to turbo timing and turbo boost control.

I would very much like to install these two things only on the car, basically because I want to leave the car in it's basic form.

Is there anyone out there who knows what the BEST componets to put in the car are, in relation to turbo timing and turbo boost control?

Many thanks for any help anyone can give.

Regards

Jim

hey dude, congrats on the new ride. Theres actually a lot of threads on here about the same sort of stuff (pretty much anything you want is on here). Its up to how much you want to spend i guess. I don't have a turbo timer as i don't like leaving my car running without myself around.

As for boost controllers they range from cheap bleed valves for like 60 bux to electronic boost controllers (Apexi AVCR which is what i have, HKS EBC and a whole lot of others) If you're willing to fork out the extra money or if you are after fair sized power numbers i think you need an electronic boost controller.

Once again if you want in depth information just use the search function on either of these, should come up with heaps of answers.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
