Jst bought myself a cool R33 GTS25-T. I'm wanting to spead around $5000 - $10000 to a achieve around 250kw - 300Kw at the wheels.

The car is completly stock and i'm wanting to use it on the road as well as one the track.

Could somebody please give me some advise on what I should be changing, what brands I should looking for and also where I can go in Australia, Victoria to tune my car.

If you have the same model as me and also have a similar power output please tell me what ya did.

Cheers :)

How bout you start by telling us all what mods the car already has and the reason why you want 250-300kw as there is a massive difference between those figures. Then we can tell ya what ur gonna need...

as i posted in the other thread

stock gtst

+ front mount $800

+ exhaust $1400

+ ecu $900

+ heavy duty clutch $1200

+ hiflow turbo or gt-rs or gt2835 ($1900 to $2800)

+ airflow meter z32 $300

+ fuel pump $300

+ injectors $600

+ cold air intake $300

+ boost control kit for ecu $300

+ tune $500

+ suspension work $1200

total $10,300

should net you somewhere from 250rwkw to 280rwkw

f*k the AFM off if he's gonna run stand alone ecu

your source is incorrect, there is no way a map sensor can offer more load points than the same map driven by an airflow meter. have a read of http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=122642

Spot on, and thats without labour costs :)

Although injectors are around $900

Clutch around $1000-$1200

300rwkw doesnt come cheap

250rwkw is far more affordable

Definately stick with the AFM. For those that think they are a restriction or a hinderance, 369rwkw with a Z32 AFM would say otherwise

Hey Paul. Just a quick question. What injectors can i get for $600 and where from.

Car: R33 GTST. :)

Nothing half decent unless your gettin dodgy ones. Most decent ones eg nismo are about 200 bucks each arnt they

try nismo 550's from nengun.com or you can get s15 jdm manual 480cc injectors you should able to get set for around that price.

yeah perhaps my injector price was a bit too low. say $800 for a new of newies then.

gtr injectors arent a direct fit, you need to modify the injector driver or something (cant remember sorry, its in the tutorial section)

Nismo 550cc injectors are not $1200 at all.

I paid $900 landed for 740's back 2 years ago.

Is that all? love to see the dyno sheets for that one nismoid

You have a little to spend. :)

A rough price... As a basis you'll need.

Buy from Japland..

$0330 - Fuel pump

$0700 - Injectors

$1000 - ECU (PowerFC)

$0400 - PFC Boost Kit

$0800 - FMIC Kit

$0050 - Catch Can

$0550 - Clutch

$0330 - AFM

-------------------------

$4160

Now you have to pay some one to fit the parts if unable to do so your self.

Your also going to need a decent preferably 3.5" exhaust, unsure what they are worth.

You also need a turbo. Something along the lines of a GT30.

You 'should' be able to get away with it for 10k. And thats the motor/performance side of things only WITHOUT Labour and Tuning costs. Budget 15k for 300rwkw or 10k for 250 mayybe 270rwkw.

Now you need suspension and brakes.

and

http://www.gktech.com.au

how about before you offer advice you actually read up and get half a clue what you're talking about before you decide to post up shit.. i'm sorry if i'm being overly harsh but i can't stand people with no idea on a subject yet want to force there oppinion onto others.

Better yet, you can even see the video and look at the nice telly screen of it. :)

How good is that eh? Stuff having a sheet, live video recording is a joy.

That also includes a backup run of 358rwkw with a bit less timing.

Safe to say there is nothing wrong with an AFM based car at all.

Um by the way...we still havn't established what the car actually already has???he may have half the stuff that paul 33 has listed so in that case...where could his extra money be better spent? a better turbo perhaps or maybe a bit more tlc to drivetrian or suspension in order to put this "250 - 300kw's" to the ground

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
