Hey guys I have a 96 series 2 r33 (90,000 on clock) If I don't sell it I plan on an engine upgrade around 6K limit.

Should I rebuild or go a few bolt on's?

I don't know how long these engines live for. I have only run 12psi into it, runs stock boost most days or around 9-10 some weekends.

It has 3''inch turbo back

front mount

and high flow'd fuel pump

So should I go 1.

turbo

ecu

clutch

afm

injectors

OR rebuild it? If a rebuild is on the cards what sort of rebuild?

Cheers,

Russ

turbo - 1.7k

ECU - 1k

Clutch - 1k

afm - 300

injectors - 900

So thats 5k without labour, tuning or anything else so you'll come close to 6k by the time thats done

Simply put... the motor will last if the tune is good and you service it correctly.

I would leave out the injectors for now if you have a decent fuel pump.

Apart from that the rest is spot on...thats will give u 600-900 bucks extra for labour.

Other things to look for are suspension upgrades...say the whiteline kit..just to make it more driveable and fun to hammer around corners..

To sell a '96 Skyline and to pay $6000 on top to buy an '89 Skyline really seems bit of a backward step IMHO.. although its a GTR (approx 180aw/kw stock) , you still gonna spend $5000 on exhaust, ECU, Tune .etc. to get it to the same power level as it would if he spent $6000 on his GTST...

With a highflow turbo, ECU, Tune, Injectors, EBC and Cams... RB25DET's have seen pushing 250+rw/kw

The way i look at it, how would the owner of a stockish R32/R33 GTR, RX7, Supra or STI feel if a stock looking GTST smashed him off the lights?

My 2c

turbo - $800 - slide

ECU - $1K - PFC (probably 2nd hand for this price nowdays)

AFM - $350 w/ plug - anywhere

injectors - $550 - Deatchwerks

clutch - $460 - C & B

not including labour or tune - $3160

oh, and then spend some money on your brakes

Yes i know that Bernard however, as an everyday driver your car see's more traffic lights then it does christmas tree's (lights at the drag strip) and if he was going to build a car just for the track, then an RB26/30 settup with powerglide box and 3500 stall, stripped interior .etc. will bring him in the 9 sec bracket... however this isnt the case... as for streetable performance, and $6000 to spend... a GTST can go a long way and yet maintain drivability as well as a MUCH cheaper insurance premium than the GTR..

Cheers

Not going to happen unless the GTR is un well.

Not hard to have a fairly stock R32 GTR running low 12's.

As for smashing the GTR off the lights... well we all know that only happens on the drag strip with slicks on.

Having owned both the GTR and R33 gtst I can say the former offers a different driving experience... a far better one.

However $6k is about 3 years of a regular GTR maintence budget, thats just to keep it running. Having a GTST makes for cheaper long term ownership. It just isn't a GTR at the end of the day but, neither is the monthly bill. Plenty of people buy GTR's and soon find out that they can't actually afford to run them. Don't let people suck you in just on how great GTR's are without looking at the real money they cost you.

I now drive an R32 GTST for the record, I like what it does for the budget.

I plan on kkr 430 turbo, ecu remap (r32 with vct chip) 550cc/740cc injectors, z32/q45 afm,and clutch. but with a rb25 with 90,000 do you think it'll live long on say 230-250rwkw

I'm also thnkin save some cash and leave the injectors and afm stock should still get 230rwkw rite?

you will be maxing the stock AFM out around those figures...not sure exactly but do ur tuner a favor and get a VG30 AFM at least. They fit properly but u need to adapter the plug from memory.

740cc innjectors would run at about 40% duty cyle with ur supporting mods...dont bother I have much more power with 550cc SARDs and they never really get over 80%.

Get a powerFC as a minimum...not sure about thats turbo but if its small and will spool hard quickly then go fo it.

Clutch..wait for ur current one to die then replace...not point replacing one if its still working IMO...unless u want to sell it, personally I just kill them and buy a new one..if your only running ~230 it will last for a while depending on how u drive it...

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Butters · Posted

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      By Degzy · Posted

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
