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...

For Christmas I would like the following:

T04E - $1000

800cc injectors - $400

Bigger NOS kit - $350

Haltech installed and Dyno - $1550

Slotted Rotors - $100 each

Splitfire Coil packs - $750

Adjustable cam gears - $300 pair

272 Degree Cams - $570

MORE FRIGGIN BOOST - $ABSOLUTELY FREE

oh and maybe a new paint job - $1100

my wish list is to have around 300rwkw or tad over...

so i hope santa has this in his sack;

hks 3037s turbo

greddy plenum

740cc injectors

fuel reg

hks 264 cams

adjustable cam gears

hks oil cooler

light flywheel

internals done

spray rocker covers

and finally some te37 with nitto's so i can attempt at seeing where my money has gone,

apart from that theres nothin else i wanna do...

ben...

A sticker pack from Autobarn with all the Brands on it.

A bad girls sticker.

A fully sick stereo.

Some crappy glitter paint.

No really

Powerfc

Steel turbines (Next week)

Dump pipes (When astro boy finishes them)

Custom Manifolds (ditto)

A new air regulator so it doesn't idle high.

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!

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
