If you guys have any,please do post pics of the drift wing/stealth wing for the r33 skyline. I just got one imported from carmate australia to new zealand, and trial fitted, though the wing doesnt flush mount to the guard when looking from the side.....is this how it should be or what? thanks

Headaches After New Suspension
nsta replied to nsta's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
BC Coilovers, and even the small bumps on the road tend to make my car bounce, and being in nz, the roads arent the best down here....so its kind of amplified....i have the coilovers soft all round right now, even a 5min drive makes me a lil sick! -
Hey guys, as title suggests, i get major headaches while driving along even 20km to the city now.....which i had none of before when i was on stock shocks/springs setup???? Im really annoyed as i paid top dollar, i have soften the damper up which has proved to easen the pain, but even i 10min quick ride will give me an ache now from the bumpiness!, should i possible harden the damper maybe??? i may have to give em back and get something else?

Hey guys, beeen looking everywhere for a guide for a newb to install a bosch 040 fuel pump into an r33 gtst coupe......i see some brief instructions but like i said they are brief at the best. I understand they need to be mounted very low to have no problems with the fuel gauge etc.... thnaks in reply im getting my fuel pump very soon hopefully
-
whats a good tyre pressure for 265 rears, 235 fronts for street driving, and also i just got my coilovers fitted, and ive set them to soft atm, whats a good setting to use for damper(ride gets very harsh on hardest setting), but grips great!
-
im not planning on a rebuild....but when the time comes, i guess i have no option.....imin the process of getting a manual box right now:)

R33 Gearbox And Full Manual Conversion
nsta replied to 2rismo's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Will this kit be all i need to go auto to manual? Will you include pedal assembly shifter etc.......?and will this be able to handle up to 280rwkw....my long term goal......cheers -
Hey, im going to go manual/power fc + z32afm mate......im just gathering all the bits one by one......I hear its better to keep the auto shaft when going manual as theauto has a better ratio for acceleration....can anyone confirm this.....and what advce would you reccomend for a first time auto to manual skyline r33 gtst conversion.... What parts are needed for the conversion....and which clutch will suffice for up to ~280-300rwkw if i ever want to reach that high....i may speak to jim berry about this as i heard he's a GURU in this subject.....and doesnt mind speaking:)
-
being a daily driver, im more interested in street application....so more down low-mid response is what im after....but no to say i wnt to lose all top end......is there a middle line i can choose which could suit me...i love the responsiveness of the stock turbo....but understand that a larger turbo will slightly diminish that....but improve power output higher up
-
yeah, im actually thinking about that myself, the way im going i may be there in hoepfully 6months to have everything ready to put in.....what mods could i easily install without any adverse effects.....i know the afm will need an ecu to tune....so those two are out of the picture.....any reason why i shouldnt chuck in little things like injectors/fuel pump right now with what i have?as long as it keeps the car running smooth ill do it, or else i can wait....but i think a fuel pump may help my car right now, as im already getting fuel cuts!.......things that need a tune to benefit ill wait on fitting, like the afm for instance........ p.s is a fuel regulator something i should be looking into aswell........which should pretty much take care of the fuel side of things
-
Hey guys, i got some new oil to trial on my r33 gtst today, some mobil 1 0w40.....thing is they only sell in 4l packs......from what i hear after fully draining the oil these skylines need up to 4.5 litres!.....do i need to buy another one or not??? By the way, i usually remove filter, drain oil, add filter, then do up the the sump and re-add new oil (all 4l at the same time) is this a good way to do it or not?, also does the engine need to idle for awhile after adding new oil.....
-
cheers, so i should purchase the nismo z32 afm+tomei adapter plug then right?no hassling around with wiring then. Im gathering all the parts i need now,and will do everything in one hit i think
-
Hey people, do the z32 nismo afm's plug straight into an rb25det???is there any adapters/plugs i'll need to purchase on top to install? These are selling on nengun for a special price atm so i dont want to pass up a great deal, i know ill need to have it tuned at the same time,but im going to worry about that later. Heres the part no of the afm: 22680-30P00(is this the one i need), it suggests i pick up the tomei afm adapter as well....is this what is needed aswell? thanks in reply
-
Thats some great advise/knowledge mate,thats why i keep coming back to these forums:). I forgot to mention, i have some wheels/tyres already, and couldnt pass up some good coilovers so i am getting those very soon. 265/35/18 Rear x 9.5 245/40/18 Front x 8.5 Suspension......BC Coilovers, damper and height adjustables.....anyone in aus heardof them?,they are one of the best packages out here in nz.What other supporting sus mods may i look into getting? On Dtm wheels blitz 078.....weigh a truckload, and may go to something lighter like some work meisters/ssr wheels, also the tyres suck,i pretty much bought whatever i could afford at the time. Aside from the tyres, could i easily get away with using such heavy wheels or should i think about getting lighter ones. My long term goal is to get a daily driven 12sec car, that still looks good:) Alright, i may just get some 555 nismo injectors,and look into getting a z32 afm.....i source most of my gear from greenline....if theres any better deals out there please do tell me. P.s: Dont know whether to keep auto or not, i may wait for it to break before converting.....but just in general....will i just need a good trans cooler for it, and regularly mantain it to get to where i want?......and what ecu eill an auto need for tuning?main reason i want to go manual is so i can buy a powerfc tune....which autos supposedly cant do
-
cheers dude, im actually thinking of going for 740cc injectors, just cause the pricing is so similar, is there any drawbacks in going bigger injectors?or should i go for it??? P.s im from NZ, but come to these forums to learn more about the r33's:))as nz dont know much bout em
-
will 250 be a good setup for a 12sec 1/4 pass, im after a 12 daily driver and ill be happy:) P.s when you say a lot more lag, is this true no matter wjat turbo i choose to pick?, Ive decided on two items so far, which i'll be buying very soon. Bosch 040 Fuel pump and a set of Nismo 550cc injectors, that should suffice for upto 300rwkw if i ever want to go that large shouldnt it?

Bosch 040 and 044 fuel pumps
nsta replied to performance-wise's topic in For Sale (Business Traders)
Hey id like to take up the last 040 fuel pump mate.....im in new zealand, how can i pay you(i have paypal)........and these are new right......will these handle 280rwkw? cheers -
Hey guys, need some serious as to where i should start with my 25t. I just done a compression leakdown test and tests show my motor is still all healthy:) Car, r33gts25t 94 coupe auto mods: 3" exhaust + split dump apexi pod filter hyrid front mount i/c boost tap running 7 psi for now all else is stock, i have a boost gauge and regularly mantain the car. What i want to do is start pricing up peices one by one to buy, and put it all on at once, or would it be best to do it bit at a time? Im aiming for 250rwkw, and the thread posted tells me pretty much most of what i need to know.few quick q's: 1)in what order should i start fitting items if not all at once. 2)what size injectors are best for application, would it be best to go large nismo 700's if wanting to aim for more power later on? 3)i see that clutch has been noted in the list, i have an auto, will my box be able to handle the amount of power im after? 4)Is 250rwkw a great increase in power against what i have now?will i notice a much better power band accross, as i feel my car is very flat mid-top end, heaps of bottom though.....which i thought would b the other way around...

As title suggest, im after an r33 lightweight bonnet for series 1 skyline coupe, either carbon fibre or fibreglass. ive tried carmate, who dnt hae thm in stock atm thanks in reply

Im thinking of going the rb20 box route in my r33 gts25t, currently auto, i have around 220rwkw, and may aim for around 240 very soon, i know the rb20's are much cheaper use, whihc is the main reson for considering one. I'll be getting a twin plate clutch, and lightened flywheel at the same time, should i be okay with this setup, or go the rb25 route, also do i lose any power in going the rb20?
-
Hey guys, im getting my safcII installled soon for my r33, and im wondering where you guys have placed them in the past?, im not wanting it behing the sterring wheel.Im thinking of having it placed in the compartment beneath the factory stereo, and pulling out the cover so it'll fit....the stand i got with the meter im going to be selling off, i dont see me using it anyhow. Would it be possible to completely hide away the afc or is it not advised??

R32 Gtr Shell, What Do They Go For?
nsta replied to nsta's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
hehe, well im just wanting to know whether it would work out cheaper for me. In NZ we cannot import 89 gtr's as they wont comply down here, only way i could is if i bought one and put the whole engine/running gear etc into another shell and certed it all. im just wondering if its worth the hassle or not, as the r's can be got for 9-10,000nz dollars, but how much for a shell and labour to put everything back in???
