That's all I want 0 to 100 in 7seconds. :)

Unfortunately that will be hard to achieve.

A stock R33 GTST does around 6-7 seconds depending on where you read the information from and given how old the cars are now the results can vary quite a bit from one stock car to the next.

do you mean a chip or an aftermarket ecu/remap type of thing. any "chip" that you simply plug in or have soldered in that already has the tune on it is the absolute worst thing you could even think about wasting money on.

Mad082 I have found a cheaper way to INCREASE POWER high octane fuel additive!!! Lol I seriously think this suff works there around 20bucks a bottle though I couldn't imagine how hard your car would go if you use a full bottle of the suff with a 1/4 of a tank left

there you go BOYS!! go kill some holdens and fords note. That I havent tried this though someone should!!! and let me know how it goes.... You can buy the stuff at repco.

I don't own a modern skyline so can't tell you

from what I've read there's potential of fouling plugs by using fuel additives like that.

the money is best spent on putting 98 RON premium fuel in cause additives aren't the best way to up your fuel's octane rating.

Well I notice alittle more power. After octane booster so that's my opinion. I don't think it would damage the engine as it is only increasing the octane in your fuel. As long as you don't go crazy with the stuff. < I don't care if you do<< you should be right.. Try it your self I bet you'll see an improvement in what ever you drive. it cleans Ur fuel injectors to..

Do you feel a difference when you run 98 octane fuel compared to running 95 octane fuel?

higher rating octane fuel will give ZERO power increases in a correctly operating engine if the engine was designed for the lower octane fuel. if however you start increasing the timing then you can run more advanced timing with the higher octane fuel so you can actually see a small increase in power (to put this into perspective, a natro SR20 will gain 3hp from about 2 or 3 degrees more timing. personally tested on back to back runs).

if your car was designed to run on premium and you run it on unleaded then you will see a bigger difference when you go back to premium after running unleaded.

i think a lot of people don't realise what the octane rating actually means. it simply means that the higher the number, the harder it is to ignite the fuel. octane rating has pretty much nothing to do with the actual explosive energy of the fuel. in most cases higher octane fuels have a lower energy output.

I just want enough power in case a xr6 or a sv6 comes next to me on a race track;). That's all I want 0 to 100 in 7seconds. :)

If it was really for a racetrack you would do a bazillion other things to the car before even looking at power :)

If it's for traffic light heroism...a proper LSD...big tyres...will do more for your car than any power mods. Keep in mind that your launches and shifts will have to be flawless to keep up with automatic variants of the cars you've mentioned, as I even had to try a little bit when my GTS-T was standard. But really, don't bother with it...it's not worth spending the money on a car that is so readily available in a much faster model (turbo) when you get off your P's. If you want to beat those cars in a race, go get a motorbike.

Toshi thanks for the offer though I live 4 hours away from Sydney lol

Mad082 what do you think of my idea of forced cold air induction. What I mean is for example a 4inch PVC pipe collecting Air from the front of the car then being sealed onto a pod filter. So at 80kms it would almost act as a turbo would it work in a non turbo and would the engine be able to deal with all that extra airflow

Exactly. Hence what I was getting at with my question to him.

Lol doesn't quite work like that unfortunately.

Yes it would be a good thing. You would be supplying colder (denser) cleaner air to the engine. Maybe gain a couple of horsepower at certain RPM points. Would it be anything you would notice? Nope.

Seriously, you have to understand, the RB25DE is not an engine that you can get power out of without spending a lot of money. They are a small displacement N/A engine in a heavy car. With all the bolt on mods you could think of you would be lucky to gain 30-40hp (which is probably what the engine has lost with it's age). Have a look at the dyno thread in the N/A section. All the power figures are poor. Only a select few who have wanted to spend larger amounts of money have gone beyond the norm, which is still less than what a GTST would make.

Save your money, sell the car once you get off your P's and buy something else.

I bet you most of these people who want the fastest P plate legal car on the road, and start these threads asking for ways to increase power, have not honed in their drag racing skills (which is evidently a free modification) with the current vehicle setup. So much more to be had from doing that.

the gains would be minimal (under 5hp). i doubt you'd see even 1psi of pressure.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
