hey mate welcome to the forum!

if you hit the search button up top right hand corner and type in what you are looking for info on you will find everything you need to know! been discussed between members heaps of times. best way to go with the cooler would be to use it and get yourself a piping kit to suit an r33. Best mods on budget go: full exhaust from turbo back,hi flow cat, cooler, boost controller, intake and ecu remap or computer to run the show and you should be looking at somewhere around 200rwkw give or take.

hope this helps

Hi mate :happy:

Ive got a 95 gts-t myself, fun car. With the standard cooler It depends on what your using the car for. For the ocasional thrash I think around 10psi would be pretty safe. The stock turbo itself won't like much above 13-14psi without risk of damage. Remaped ecu is probably only worth doing once you have done quite a few mods.

The RB25DET I believe puts out 187kw at the flywheel stock. Once you factor in drivetrain loss, engine age etc I think stock your looking at around 140-150 kw at the rears. Not sure about the VL intercooler so can't help you there.

When you say your on a budget, just how much are you wanting to spend? Power is addictive. I remember when I first got my car, I said something like 'holy crap this is more power than I will ever need'

Of course a month later I was looking at mods.

I have a 3" exhaust from the turbo, POD, Front Mount, 11psi on stock turbo and a PFC. (Base map, untuned so far)

I made 217rwkw with the stock ecu and a S-AFC 2 piggy back computer.

However I would take that 217 with a grain of salt, I think it was something more like 200-210 which would be more consistant with others.

My clutch is not likeing the power I will tell you that much.

The Power FC is a full ECU replacement. Its able to be fully tuned, removes basic limitations of the stock ecu like the speed limiter, Rich & Retard and other things. The piggy back I had was an Apexi S-AFC II which is an Air/Fuel controller. It intercepts signals going to the ecu and tricks it into thinking its getting different figures. It allows basic changes but is fairly limited.

I think from memory I paid around $200 for the SAFC, then another $150 or something to get it installed and tuned.

If your just after 200kw then you will need a full turbo back exhaust, a way of upping the boost, a better intercooler is probably a good idea but not absolutely vital I guess, just don't drive the car too hard. I think 200kw's is about where the stock clutch struggles as well. You will also benefit from either a POD or a highflowing Panel filter. All of those should get you close enough to 200.

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.

      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

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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..
