Talk to Leon about mods and tuning. I've known him for many years. Done plenty of work with him.

Will do. I can't really comment i don't know alot about the R series liners but i'm sure most of the boys in here know their stuff and can help you out.

I have done CAI first with a high flow upper plenum, got springs + rims on the way and doing exhaust last. I try not to draw attention so i'm doing exhaust last aha.

Haven't see it around man, you had it long?

[Spicymouse]

around 2 months or so, normally fairly quite haha, but i did find a guy in a black or gunmetal skyline a few weeks back and had a bit of a drag up river street industrial area end.. not sure if thats one of you guys?

i'd love to do my mown work just sucks that i dont have a shed or the gear to do most of the work, plus little knowledge is a factor haha. I'm not sure what i'd like to do maybe, forge the engine, get a new ecu and fuel management, larger turbo. i'd probably be happy with that haha.

Forged internals are a bit extreme unless your thinking of running 350+ rwkw.

Realistically the stock engine is fine up to 300rwkw, and some survive even higher power then that with proper maintenance and supporting mods.

Doing a forged engine without the tools or knowledge to do any of it yourself is going to cost you somewhere in the region of $10,000 once you have your turbo, ECU, engine parts then work out if your doing all that work your gonna need a better oil system setup, fuel setup etc etc. The list will grow

Not trying to pick at your plan, just saying its alot of money you might not need to be spending.

Best way to do it is in this order.

1. Front mount intercooler, intake and exhaust. (Leon)

2. ECU (Powerfc, Vipec or Link G4) (Tuner)

3. Injectors (Tuner or Leon)

4. Turbo (NOT OFF EBAY, and not from some kebab shop owner) but talk to people that know what they are talking about. The best person is your tuner. (Leon and Tuner)

5. Drive it around until the engine dies or you want 350rwkw+ and have the money.

6. Either replace engine with another standard, or spend $15k rebuilding forged.

Is it a 4 door with a pretty shitty paintjob? Because i'm quite sure that thing is near or higher than 400rwkw

with the stupid nuts hanging from the tow hook on the back?

heard him bragging about how much power it had one day, and I thought..... It's still a 4 door R33

Epic Fail

Adding those gay ass nuts on the back, thats just a whole nother level of gayness

i'm not sure, but the guy that drives it looks a bit dodgy lol. I just heard off a mate it's got crazy power but i've never seen him gun it.

I dont really know what he's like, I just got a bad first impression from him.

plus I hate those F#@#R#@$ hanging prop things. Dont know how people think they look cool/good lol

[89CAL]

Also if anyone is chasing parts for there car and want a part number (up to R34 is all I can access AFAIK) then let me know

I have got Nissan Fast working on my laptop, and its easier to give Nissan a part number then let them figure out what your talking about. Just need VIN number to search parts

[Robi33]

A complete engine rebuild is expensive and f**king annoying. -sigh-

[Seano350GT]

Saw a clean r33 in town today with WA plates, light blue turbo'd with a chick driving. First time i've seen it

i'm not sure how many doors as it was behind me and stayed behind me haha.

also i wasn't sure how much the standard internals could hold. i was just assuming that bigger turbo meant better internals =/.. i have a front mount and spitfire coils.. but other then that i have no idea on what my car has done to it.. any of you guys wanna check it out and tell me? haha

[89CAL]

25's will hold up to 300rwkw with std internals no problem

If you do everything right and look after the engine you can shoot past this figure, but above 300rwkw is basically anyone's guess. Could last forever, could last a couple of weeks. A good tune and good servicing goes along way to keeping your engine healthy

Direct wired my fuel pump today. Seems to hold steady 18-19psi boost now instead of surging between 17 and 19

Needs a retune now, into the high 10's on my AFR's now lol

[Spicymouse]

ahh nice to know that haha, also one of my mates has a spare hks intake manifold.. can i bolt that on assuming that everything lines up right. and not have to get a tune?

HKS intake manifold?

Not a Greddy one?

And I would at least take it and check the AFR's. If it's a Greddy like mine (well rip off version) then your changing the airflow into the engine, so it may or may not affect the tune. I had mine tuned after Plenum got installed, but I was running Power FC before this. Stock ECU is pretty safe with AFR's etc. Just get it checked out
