Are you Happy with your car?


Recommended Posts

I was just croozin today in me 230rwkw R33 and was thinking I am pretty happy with the way she is going at the moment... Even though you would expect a RB30DET to go harder.. its just a real pleassure to drive....

Thinking back a couple of years ago on what I was really wanting out of my car I dunno if i am really there yet as I need bigger injectors and better fuel pump before i can pump more then 10psi boost that im making 230kwkw outta...

So are you happy with your car?? what is on the WISH list for the mods you want.. and how much is that going to cost you ??

My wish List is..

1: Bigger Injectors

2: Bigger Fuel Pump

3: Apexi AVC-R or boost controll kit for PFC or Eboost.

Should make more power then....

Probly cost me about $3k...

Hmm... well ive wasted a lot of money on my car and it is SO close to how i want it. Only things i need:

1. Some Volks TE37s

2. My driveshaft to snap (so i can replace it with a CF one, if for no other reason than to say my car has one)

3. Someone to take the engine out of my car and give it a real good clean.

As for your $3k:

700cc Injectors: $750

Fuel Pump: $400

Boost Controller: $450

Tuning etc: $500,

So $3K would easily cover it

Wish List:

R31 silhouette or silhouette GTS, manual

then probably modify the RB30ET for even greater strength and reliability

fit RB25DET twin cam head (making motor RB30DET), I believe this is a simple modification because there is only one hole that needs drilling for the idler pulley, the boss for which is already in the top of the RB30 motor? if it isnt the RB25DET head that allows this can somone please tell me the head from which motor allows this?

Re- routed air intake, cover up original hole in front of airbox and run pipe out of a hole drilled in bottom of airbox to the air intake low in the grille and fit K&N filter, or fit pod filter

extractors and twin full exhaust

T06 Turbo and air- air intercooler

larger injectors

improved clutch and strenggthened gearbox

then probably a set of 18 or 19in mags

sticky rubber

full Clarion, Alpine or Pioneer stereo (I dont believe in hybrid audio systems wherever possible)

Momo wheel, gearknob and probably full Recaro interior

then drive and enjoy it until the bug bites again!

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
