Hey there people.

I just recently bought a 1994 R33 Skyline.

It has a Big HKS exhaust and a Greddy Intercooler and a HKS pod.

I had a bleed valve fitted and it is running 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 :ninja:

doubling your power atw is going to be a very costly excercise... You'll need to fully rebuild your motor with forged internals, and have an extensive parts list to achive those figures. ecu, injectors, afm, fuel pump, head gasket, plugs, coilpacks, manifold, plenum, fpr, monster turbo, new dump, ext wastegate, boost controller, cams, pistons, rods, just to name a few, the list goes on and on and i'm sure ive missed a lot of things too. Do more searching around the forced induction threads and you should find the answres you need.

R33silverS2 is right. Can't just pull Horse Power out of the air. Something has goto give. = Change more parts = more time = more money.

BTW ya air pod looks alittle dirty in that pic. Give it a clean and let the car breath better. Is your Greddy Intercooler a front mount? Just hard to see from that pic angle.

shaun_perry - what is the budget??? Thats the key point here you haven't mentioned.

And like a few people before you, i dont think you realise how much its going to cost yet :huh:

If its 20k - you might be lucky and get 350rwkw, but i would imagine it'll be closer to 25k.

Its not something you can realistically do yourself as its going to require a full motor build by a professional as when your spending big $$, you want it done right.

R33silverS2.

That pod filter has been replaced with a new filter element.

(00)skyline(00).

I am not sure of a budget but approx the 10-15K mark.

My father and I will be able to do the hard work like fitting parts and

possibly rebuilding the engine ourselves as he is a Mechanic.

There are not many "experts" in skylines and other jap imports here so

we will do the hard yards and we'll have it tuned elsewhere.

I was just wondering what the next mod is. the car will be off the

road till all the work is done.

Thanks guys.

Keep the tips coming. :laugh:

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
