hey guys purchased a great 93 R33 gts-t yesterday, it has a fair few cosmetic mods(mostly veilside hence the name) but the mechanical ones are as follows.......

apexi air filter(no cold air intake which i will do soon)

3" exhaust(cat back i think) 5" tip

hks ssq BOV(earlier model)

lowered

had intercooler but was removed.

boost gauge.

i know nissan turbo's pretty well, but im unfamiliar with the rb25's, also skylines may perform better when modified differently to say a 180sx, so my question is what would you recomend as my next mods?

basically i was going to go with a big frontmount(probably hybrid) then up the boost to say 11psi via an apexi ebc or other ebc, i'll have to get a turbo timer pretty soon, prob g'reddy or apexi, maybe bleed valve(prob turbosmart).

i think that sounds ok but im sure as most of you would have a far better knowledge than i of skylines id really appreciate your help, the brands i have mentioned are pretty good but as i said skylines may respond better to a different brand of intercooler or ebc etc....

any advice you can give me would be great

thanks, Andrew.

do yr exhaust first, do you have a EFC? well after market one i mean? if not throw on one of them too. Leave yr FMIC until u get a bigger turbo or really crank up the boost and fit them at the same time.

Handling would also be a good start, you said it was lowered, question is how, with new suspension or just modded the old stuff.

Hope this gives you a few ideas.

ehaust is done, and its actually really good, EFC, my bad ive forgotten wgat they r, but i doubt it has an aftermarket one, its been lowered and the suspension has been done and its handles really well,

basically i just want a pretty damn fast daily driver capeable of comfortably beating clubsports and rexs, currently i would say it would beat both of them in stock cond, easily.

also if its possible and anyone knows can they give rough prices if the mods suggested

I think Messiah meant the other 1/2 of your zorzt ie Turbo back w/ High flow cat

I would'nt bother with turbo timer..

Do you have a plan as to what the end GOAL for your car is, If you do what is it,

If you dont then you should think about what you want from the car and what you want to do with it. ( It will save you alot of money )

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
