Hello

I live in Japan.

I have a R32 GTS-T with a RB20 and I am putting the RB 25 on and intercooler. About to buy a HKS not too big intercooler and piping but I had a idea I want to try.

My friend has a R33 SMIC and I was going to put that on. It would keep me from having to cut my front bumper and since I have a RB25 turbo I thinking it should be better than the stock R32 intercooler.

Any thoughts on this?

Also, I was going to leave the HKS acculator on the RB25 turbo(came with it) and see how it works.

Is this good? Will this work and still be a good set up? I would really like to spend the extra money on boost controller and other necessary things.

Help please

You will find that the R32 and R33 SMIC will be just as cruddy as each other. They are the same dimensions. The R34 SMIC is considered an upgrade because it is slightly more efficient than the previous models.

The HKS actuator will work fine as long as it still operates as it should.

OK

Well will get a FMIC The HKS one I can get is 350.00 with all of the pipes except for the long one which goes over the top of the engine. I have been looking for pipes but cant find any. My friend has a smaller FMIC that is good. He will sell it for 100.00 but I would still have to buy the piping for it. Are any one of these two options good or should I just buy a new set Greddy FMIC that has all of the piping?

Well wish I could find a R34 SMIC.

unless you are good with you fabrication skills, i would just buy a complete kit that came with everything, that way there arent any headaches and you'll have everything you'll need

living in japn, you should have access to plenty of parts haha

R32s are being used alot here now so I think alot of the cheap parts are getting hard to find now. Looks like I am going to spend the 350 for a new kit. I can get help with fabrication, there is a DIY shop here where I work and the staff there said that they will help me with fabricating parts if I need too.

How starved will the turbo be if I connect it to my stock SMIC now until I can get a FMIC?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
