Hey there people.

I just recently bought a 1994 R33 Skyline.

It has a Big HKS exhaust and a Greddy Intercooler.

I had a bleed valve fitted and it is runnibg at 11psi, punching out

187RWKW.

I was just wondering what is next to do to it. I just wanna do it and

not have to worry about replacing stuff over and over.

I was hoping for about 350-400+ ATW. The car is off the road for some

of the work to begin.

I am not made of money and I saved for years for this so I am

hoping to do the work myself.

Can you please help me out.

Thanks,

Shaun

350-400RWKW you wont get for any less than $5000- $10000+ on existing engine....

your next mod should be ECU related, either replace with full aftermarket set up and tune $1200-$$$ or look into something like a second hand SAFC piggy back controller $4-500 tuned, good tune on full replacement ECU with 14psi should get you 50-70 extra RWKW depending on the condition of you engine.

you will get better responses in the forced induction section though..

May-be a MOD can just move this thread..

350-400kw atw?

Prepare to spend big (c.10-15k) and put up with lots of little issues- especially if the car isn't in tip-top condition. The difference in cost between 250rwkw and 350rwkw is big.

For that power you'll need a forged bottom end, head work (cams, port/polish, valves+springs), fat ass laggy turbo, reworked fuelling system, Power FC, twin/triple plate clutch etc...

I could go on and list the other things, and some of the problems that might arise from working the car so hard (such as maintaining traction)

If you're prepared, patient, well planned, and have the cash you can build an awesome machine. Do some searches in forced induction and drivetrain sections too.

Good luck ;)

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
