Basic Mods

Recommended Posts

I've had my R33 GTS-T for six months now. I am new to skyline modding. The car has an X-force exhaust and the actuator mod I beleive that is all. A few questions:

1. I plan to buy a SAFC II or SAFC Neo asap. Is this a good option for piggyback? What does the neo offer in the real world that the II does not?

2. I am looking for 200-250rwkw, maybe more in the future. What tuners in the Albury or Melbourne area's tune with SAFC's that you would personally reccomend?

3. What other mods to get to this power range safley other than a safc, clutch and intercooler may I need?

4. My brother has an XR6 Turbo and has the stock intercooler laying around (as hes replaced to get over the 300rwkw mark), will this be any use to me for the lowish power im aiming for?

Thanks for any tips guys.

1. the SAFC II is a fuel / air piggy back... the SAFC neo does that as well as allowing you to play with timing... which helps alot with turbo upgrades... cheaper option... you wont need this unless ur planning to change ur turbo

2. my mate has rb25 r32, but he at one point dynoed it with stock cept zorst, cooler, power FC and splitfire coilpacks at 210rw kw.. u would want to get a new turbo if u want over 200kw.. stock turbo wont handle more that 12psi hapily... can go further... i ran my r33 turbo on my rb20 r32 up to 17psi and handled it right, but it died quite quickly... ceramic wheel, not so great.. .i would recommend a garret 2530.. great responsive turbo, at the power range ur lookn for

3. clutch cooler and safc is easy way of gettin power.. a good exhaust system does help too. xforce is good.. get urself a dump and front pipe and high flow cat... great way to open up possibilities... a good fuel pump.. bosche 040 around the 330$ mark i think, great for a start.. and def a short shifter..

4. could make that cooler work.. but it does a bit of a bend i think in generall.. can pick up a cooler kit from sponsors for about 350$ mark.. cheap and decent makes.

If you are planning to do future mods i recommend getting a Power FC or something similar,as you will need this in the future anyway.

That way you can get the full benefit out of each mod.

PFC is a full replacement ECU for the car, SAFC is simply a tool that trick the standard ECU into working properl with the mods you have. PFC is a far better unit but also comes with a higher price tag.

What you will need for 200rwkw-

1. Full exhaust from turbo to tip

2. Boost Control

3. Intercooler (R34 SMIC will be fine for up to 200rwkw, any more get a front mount)

4. Fuel pump

5. Clutch

6. ECU (huge amount of options, TOSHI remap seems very good value and retains the stock computer)

7. Air filter, either pod or upgraded panel

What you will need for 250rwkw-

1. All of the above

2. Z32 AFM

3. Bigger fuel injectors, the S15 480cc's will be fine for this power level.

4. Turbocharger upgrade, look in the rb25det upgrade thread for heaps of info. I'm currently making 249.7kw on 16 psi with a bolt on hi flow, which only cost $1050 second hand with onl a few hundred km's on it.

5. Tune.

    • 8v - 2.48ms 9v - 2.15ms 10v - 1.74ms 11v - 1.41ms 12v - 1.15ms 13v - 0.99ms 14v - 0.89ms 15v - 0.82ms 16v - 0.81ms I'm running these values on my RB20 Neo with 570cc Denso R35 stock jets and it's great. Also bought a set for my Legnum VR4, love these injectors!
    • Thanks for your reply,  Those blue/green wires running to the actuator aren't attached to anything, so I'm not sure how the central locking is still working. I will have to take a good look tomorrow, I don't have the car with me. After googling it seems like a pretty common aftermarket actuator which even uses the same green/blue wires the immobiliser required. i'll test everything tomorrow and if it's working i'll melt the solder, strip it, resolder and neaten it all up with some heat shrink. I don't have to understand it if it works hahaha I just don't want a fire/ short circuit. That R32 diagram looks more like a continuity chart? Can you make sense of this form the R34 manual? 10V is probably due to very flat battery, i'll recheck as well tomorrow, I did have to jump start it haha. Thanks again!  
    • So, COM doesn't mean comms. It means common. What common itself means will depend on the type of device. For a two directional actuator (ie, one that can push and pull on the same output rod) then the common will typically just be the earth connection. There will be at least 2 other wires. If you put 12V on one of the other wires, then the actuator will push. On the other 12V wire, it will pull. Can't quite make out what is going on with the wiring of your actuator. It appears to have several wires at the actuator plug, but there only appears to be 2 wires where its loom approaches the door control module, with at least one of the others cut off. I don't know these actuators off by heart. I'd have to look at a wiring diagram for one before knowing what the wires were about, and that's despite me having to replace one in my car not all that long ago. Just not interesting enough to have dedicated memory set aside for trivia like that any more. That actuator is an aftermarket one, not the original one, which probably died and was replaced. That might require some sort of bodge job on wiring to make it work. Although nothing should justify the bodginess of the bodge job done. As to the soldering job on the door module's loom plug. Ahhahhahaha. Yes, very nasty. Again, I cant tell you what any of those wires do. You'd need to study the R34 wiring diagram (if you can find one that shows the door module). I don't think I have any. I'd have to study the R32 diagram to start to understand what mine is doing, and again, even though I've had a problem with mine for the last 25 years (where it locks the passenger door when the driver's window reaches top or bottom of travel) I'm just not interested enough to try to to work it out. So long as it's not burning down, it's fine with me. Here's the R32 GTR diagram, which, confusingly, has rear door lock actuators and window motors on it!! As you can see, unless you understand the functions of the door lock timer and the power window amplifier, you'll never be able to work out how it works just from the diagram. I don't imagine that the R34 one is any better. Hopefully an R34 aware bod can help. FWIW, the two wires that are cut and joined look like they are both power supply - so hopefully it is not fatal to join them. The 10V you measured on the cut off free end of one of them is concerning. You'd expect 12V, and it might be the reason for the bodge job joining them together.
    • Yeah, so try to post images with extensions that the internet can handle, not HEIC files which only arstyphones can handle.
