Aeey. My dad and I just recently bought a 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 Gts25-t, we are probably going to get it in about 10 days+ from today. All I know about the car is that it has a Greddy Induction system, apexi turbo timer and a hks turbo booster. It is probably round 200rwkw of power but what could I do to get it to round 250- 300rwkw. I'd like prices and where to purchase and the pros who can do it 4 me. I'm located in Roxburgh Park near epping, broadmedows and craigieburn ( if you don't know where roxy is:] )

Seems the quickest solution would be Stao from hypergear, for a better turbo, and Trent from Status Tuning. There would be more reward in searching forced induction performance, and working out your own combo.

ecu

3071

z32 afm

fmic

pod filter

splitfires

button clutch

500cc+ injectors

search every one of these... you'll need 'em all ;)

oh and to make use of 300rwkwnyou'll probaly want about 4k in suspension work and a 1.5 way or 2 way locker

also, creatd motorsports are near you

WTF!!...keep reading ....everything u need can be found here...if u cant find it u aint looking hard enough, so keep looking....good luck ;)

PS....what is a HKS turbo booster

lol not too sure myself, it was on the sheet list of extras

Do you have at least 10k?

Otherwise forget chasing 300rwkw IMO.

Just do some basic mods, get a tune and live with it.

yeah the budget is 15k on mods etc., once we get round 300kW if ther are left overs it'l be spent on sound system/ speakers/ audio etc.

that was what i was originaly gona do, but i dont want 4wd

Then save the money and buy a flat out stupidly modified GTST

i.e, smart people capitalize on other peoples money pits

Amen^

If I could go back in time I would have bought someone elses money pit instead of digging my own. Why start on the surface when you can start 50 metres deep lol.

I'm not gona buy another R33 n sell this 1 because-

1- not getting a gtr because i dont wanna 4WD (as i hav prev. mentioned)

2- i dont wana buy sum1 elses problems

3- i bought this car from my dad's trustworthy friend

BTW!

what would be the price of a reasonable suspension upgrade suitable for 250-300rwkw

thnx for the recos, i'll consider/contact them once i get insurance

They are nice reasons mate, i too had that view as well for quite a while, infact a large number of people probably did. Especially if you've been around 5+ years as those cars just didnt exist way back when.

Times have changed though & this time around I've purchased a very well modded car, circuit ready - for nowhere near what it would cost starting from scratch. I'll have it hopefully in the next week or so :(

There are plenty of brilliantly modified cars here in Vic, from reputable workshops and most of them are regular's @ trackdays etc.

I would strongly suggest you go along to such events, most people have a price they would sell their car for - GTR or GTS-t.

(FYI a 300rwkw GTR will be faster than a GTS-t hands down simply dude to grip)

If you go with the attitude of "someone elses problem" i think that's silly. You'll have just as many problems (if not more) in the process of modifying your own.

Buying someone else's reliably running car, means they've gone through that and sorted it out in due course :)

What is your intended use for the car?

How old are you?

You also need to factor not only suspension, but brakes and tyres. I mean 18's & tyres alone will come in around 3k depending on what you decide :)

You'd mince probably 6-8k just in suspension/brakes/diff/clutch and that's without even anything relating to the engine bay which wouldn't see a cent out of 7-8k IMO.

Otherwise if you wanna pursue this plan - read Hamish's post above, he's listed the parts you'll need.

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
