Driving like a grandma delibrately, 2500rpm. Generally about 2800-3000, pushing it i only go to 6500 usually. Stock turbo & stuff arent pulling hard after that anymore, so its pointless revving it harder really.

Ey just a quick questiOn,

how high of rpm do u change gears?

i change about 3-4 but people say skylines are meant to rev at 5-6..

opinions?

Mine is and auto and the cahnge happens at about 2800 to 3500 if im driving it har 6500 to 7500 id recomend the same in a manual as no one knows better than the computer in the dam car how to shift

In my last car (Charade with full exhaust/pod/camshaft etc) my mates wouldn't get out until I had bounced it off the limiter at least once. Thing used to pull like crazy for a 1.3L (the torque curve was dead flat from 5k->7.5k redline it revved its t*ts off!).

R33 still has standard exhaust but I just love the sound when you touch the limiter. Not one for every day though, and certainly not bouncing it off all over the shop got far too much mechanical sympathy for that.

when cruising I generally shift around 3-3.5k.

    • Could someone post some pictures of the factory Jack , tools, spare tire and how they were in a 1998 ER34 2 door skyline originally?
    • UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!  
    • I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end
    • I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.
