Hi Guys/Girls

I have a 95 GTR VSpec.

It is completely stock - wheels, airbox, turbos, exhaust - everything.

Mechanic reckons he's never seen one not touched or in this condition. Has a verified 109K kms. Was imported to Australia with 40k kms in 2000 - so has been here for ages.

I'm torn between leaving it alone, and giving it a bit of a touch up with wheels, coil overs, turbos, dumps, downs, exhaust, ecu, fuel pump, coils, studs, intake, fmic & other associated bits and pieces for 350-400kw at the wheels..

R33's seem to be the ugly ducklings of the GTR world - and they are very slowly increasing in value - but probably not enough to be a true investment like a clean 32 or 34.

It's nice to drive as is - but everyone wants more power.

What would you do?

Garrett -7 or -9 Turbos

Full 3" or 3.5" Exhaust

Nistune or A'PEXi Power FC ECU or whatever your choice / mechanic can tune with

Cam Gears

Coilovers, Wheels and Tyres

Don't bother with Air Intake / Fuel Pump / FMIC / Dumps, stock is good for 300rwkW

Very few vehicles [cars, bikes, trucks etc] outlast a generation. So what was valuable in your time may be just another vehicle in 10-20 years. You see this all the time, everyone thinks they have an absolute desirable collectors item and they do while their generation is alive but as they get older and/or die out the next generation coming through aren't even remotely interested - well maybe a few, but not the majority.

So mod away!!!!

Any preference to single of twin? Will you be keeping the stock engine? What fuel?

I'd prefer not to have any RWC issues - but I live in the country - probably more of an issue once it comes time to move it on.

I'd like to keep the stock engine - if only from a cost perspective - and only 98ron is available here..

Get a 3.5" exhaust but don't get dumps?

What's the point of a bigger exhaust if you've still got a restriction up front...

If that's the case.

-5's

Bosch/ID 1000's

Walbro 400/460 in tank pump

Decent set of front pipes (none of this merging into 75 or 80 mm garbage)

3.5 inch exhaust (if not 4...) Get some mufflers made and have something fabbed up

Nismo coppermix twin plate

Whatever ECU you want

Keep factory airbox

Get some decent dumps (HPI 76 mm)

Quaife front diff if budget allows

Cause stock Dumps can handle the power of 300+ rwkW

I wouldn't push anything over 300 rwkW on a 20+ year old Stock RB26 ('95 model R33 GTR)

Unless rebuilt and you want 350 - 400 rwkW then yes, go upgraded Dumps

      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

      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..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
