also guys, im gettin killed out there vs my gf's brothers my02 rex :|

what am i going to need to put him in his place? hes got exhaust and upped boost.. 12psi?

will exhaust and fmic and 12psi do the trick? or will i need to get ecu change and injectors..

straight through 3"exhaust, FMIC & 12psi & make sure your pod is heat sheilded and has a cold air intake, you will get heaps more power! you don't need ecu & injectors for those, but start saving for an ecu for later on. dunno how it will go against the WRX, but if it was me id hang on to the skyline.

Full exhaust and you'll chop him dude!

The get a good boost controller to hold 12psi (elc holds better)...

I love s14 (series 2)s aswell, but atleast do your exhaust b4 u let the car go, r33s sound a HELL of alot nicer than an s14 does!!!

Power vs weight ratios, both cars will be similar with similar mods aswell, you wont loose anything with the skyline except the problem of the stock ECU not bein able to go past 12psi where as an s14 one can...

Hang onto the car until you've done the exhaust, you have to give it a chance, rb25s are awsome engines!

it's a lot of effort to sell then buy a new car.

i would suggest get straight thru exhaust at least and see how you feel. if you don't feel any gain, and are still unhappy then get something else.

personally, there is no way i would go from my R33 to the s14a. for a day to day car the skyline is soo much more comfortable, and ultimately is easy to get big power from :aroused: .

it will be a totally different car once you have added fmic and boost control, trust me :(.

The 02 rexy has 14 psi stock boost !!

Although 02 is the slowest of the late model rexes you need a fair bit of work to beat him . Stock 02 rexy and stock r33 the rexy will leave you for dead .

You will need a power f/c , front mount and more boost just to keep up with him .

Get a bigger turbo as well and then you will chop him for sure .

If he wants to beat you then he will have to spend a few $ on bigger turbo and ecu , then it will all come down to traction , dont forget he has 4wd .

5 speed rexes have a weak gearbox though ( they pop second gear ) .

So there you go and i speak from experience , i have owned a few rexes ( still have 02 sti ) and i have a couple gtrs as well , rexes are not a match for gtrs though .

It's also very hard to find a good s14a. Well, when I was looking that was the major determining factor in me buying my Skyline.

Insurance is also more expensive on s14 200sx's than on r33 gtst's. Well, it is here in Sydney anyway.

S14 should b cheaper then R33 cause it isn't a Import

yea i'm thinking the same way not sure to go Gts-t R33 bigger Clean car turbo i thinking about getting one

But i Love my Sr20's and am a die hard 4 fan but i Hate S14 look and am to poor for a S15 and i'm over my s13 :(

Looking at 180sx maybe

have my Heart Set on Dream car Gtr r32 but there just outa my price Range and the Gts-t have Rb20s in them not Rb25 :P

o the drama

I think i'll go with Gts-t R33 and save on the Side not modding it till i have Money for a GTR r32 :D

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
