Hi..

Just registed up.. As i just bought my r33 94 Model skyline off my uncle..

I was looking into getting some mods for it but nothing to extreme.. as i have to drive it most days and im only a 3rd year apprentise..

Its has a hks Mushroom filter, Exaust System, And a Dual stage boost switch.. running like 7low 8 high.. its fairly stock.

Was thinking along the lines of maybe a front mount and a new computer.. but nothing to pricey Any Suggestions??

Im sure some of the site sponsers could help you out on a good price for a fmic kit.. Or you could go the cheap way n check ebay for a chinese copy lol.

FMIC kits can start anywhere from 300 dollars all the way up to about 2,000 Depending on brand n style.

With your 2stage boost controller.. id probably bump the "high" up to about 10psi. Has the car got a boost gauge? I wouldve thought that having the aftermarket exhaust (is it 3"?) wouldve bumped the boost up by itself anyways.

How much money did u want 2 spend? U could grab a piggy back computer for cheap.. or look at going a complete aftermarket computer. But for the mods u said u were having or going 2 do, i hardly see it worthwhile. Maybe stick with a SAFC2 as toffy said.

Sorry is the SAFC2 a whole new comp or a piggy back type or...?(Sorry New To This)

I want a good fmic not to expensive.. Im sure its a right through exaust if its 2.5 or 3 not to sure..

Would u suggest these mods or somthing else..

I had it dynoed and it only has a poor 148kw atw.. Would these types of mods add another 50kw if not how much.. (roughly)

Im looking at spending 2-3k are these mods installed possible with this price tag?

Thanks for all your help.!

with 2-3K to spend i would go a Greddy/Trust front mount intercooler....they go for around the $800-1K mark.....then prob a Greddy Emanage Piggy back ECU.....and run at about 10 psi this should see you push past the 200rwkw mark....

My mate has a series 2 R33 and all he has is a Hybrid fmic and running at about 9psi with a well tuned factory ECU....and he is at the 198 rwkw mark...he did have it dynoed on 12 psi and was making around 220 mark.....so its not hard to get some decent power out of these motors for cheap....

if i were you i would also look at getting a Z32 air flow meter...they go for around $400-500 mark and they are a whole lot better/easy to tune......and does give you some power

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
