What JUN box?

Merli: There is no JUN box.

Merli: JUN is good.

:bahaha:

Lots of opinions on Nitrous here, thats good.

The facts about nitrous oxide are covered on the Ozrace website on the FAQ link, have a read.

http://www.ozrace.com/ozrace.html

The use of Nitrous oxide on the road is deemed illegal due to the fact that you will obviously be speeding when it is used.

The states where nitrous installation is legal require an issolation switch to be installed (most kits have one anyway).

As for nitrous being the last mod on your list:

Horses for courses, the small nitrous kits are the best value performance booster for the strip on a mild skyline. Using it on the street? well, using the full boost of a bad ass turbo is going to be illegal too.

mrhyundai:

Give Chriss Mills a call mate, they do nitrous installs in their sleep.

You don't 'need' a front mount intercooler or an S-afc or even big ass tyres to get a 13.8 or even slightly better. I plan on not having these things and hopefully getting a flat 13 (thats without any nitrous and regular fuel).

This is true.

There is no better bang for your buck than a Nitrous installation. $1500 and you're ready to roll, with upto 100hp @ wheels extra power... Amazing stuff.

The reason I said it should be one of your last modifications is because the standard R33 GTS-t (the car in question), is actually quite a slow beast. I would much rather increase the power of the car to a stage where I would be happy with the car's performance that I could use everyday (maybe 250rwkw?), and *THEN* look to measures to drop those 1/4 mile times.

But hey, if 1/4 mile times are more important than how much useable power you have on the street is, then for sure, hand over $1500 and you'll have a monster :thumbsup:

Merli,

I think we agree.

mrhyundi want's to go the low 13's as a goal if I hear him right. If he gets a front mount he's going to spend as much as a NOS kit and still not be much closer. If he gets a Nitrous kit theres no reason he can't add a bigger turbo later, along with all the other stuff you have to buy ( injectors, fuel pump, aftermarket ecu, reg, etc). In the mean time he will have a nitrous equiped car that does 12's to have fun with, until he has enough money to get the rest.

Shrub32, anything that increases volumetric efficiency is going to wear engine. Exhaust mods, installing a bigger turbo and nitrous are all just a means to the same end. Theres nothing inherently dangerous about using NO2 in engines (apart from the exploding bottle thing), any mod that requires more fuel and isn't tuned properly will 'ruin' an engine.

Yes, you can stick it on a stock engine and live happily ever after. Like GTS-t VSPEC said, horsepower limits of mechanical components still spply, so no going crazy (150hp+ shots) on stock internals.

hmm, as for NOS......

If you had your first $1500 to spend on your car, and you wanted to boost the performance - Wouldn't you rather spend it on something you can enjoy while driving the car daily, than something you can only use whilst giving it a run down the qtr mile?

I think Merli/rev210 pretty much summed it up though.....

I think that's really a personal preference as discussed earlier :D

Much like to put stickers on the car or not...personal preference. :uh-huh:

I like the idea of NOS. I'd like to have a quick car for the track but something that is not -as- quick for street use (temptation on the street to wind up the boost on a big turbo is quite high for me).

The www.ozrace.com FAQ page is a good read.

Hey guys,

have a squiz at www.horsepowerinabox.com

last time i checked they were waaay cheaper than everyone else.

I work for Holley/NOS Australia, but unfortunately cant sell retail to anyone, but can suss out group buys..

but horsepowerinabox have N05130 EFI 4-6CYL universal wet kits, good for 35-75 hp for $950!

i shit u not, it gets rid of lag alltogether, and is a piece of piss to install, i have a couple of kits, generally put them on car to car for a day or so for fun..

A mates r33 with s5 hi flo, t0f vtrim comp wheel etc etc LOVED it..

cooles intake temps down too.

http://www.horsepowerinabox.com/HPIAB2/category6_1.htm

- list price is 990, but its sposed to be 950!

Let me know if i can help with anything NOS orientated, cant sell retail but can give advice etc

cheers

Ben

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
