what do you mean by SAFC or PFC im getting a turbo back exhuast next week and the speed cut defencer i was toying with getting a ECU but i should leave that till one of my last mods is that correct?

If i was you i would just go PFC and get it out of the way :P Ecu is a great mod, im wishing i did it before fmic, as it keeps the tune nice a clean and the car wont run overly rich and make less power.

Leaving ECU to last mods is smart as you will save the $$$ in tuning it each time you get a new mod, but you will make more better pwoer with ecu

No offense, but if you want power, sell it and get a turbo line, it's just wasting your money on a n/a trying to get big horsepower. It's so easy with simple mods to really boost the horsepower of a car with forced induction like everyone has said. If you want your skyline to be as fast as your excel was (i can't even type that without laughing out loud), sell it and get a turbo car. The disadvantage of simply adding a turbo kit to your car would be smaller breaks, no LSD, 4 vs 5 wheel studs, higher compression leading to lower boost and the list just goes on.

if i get the compression changed on my enging to say 9.0.1 or what ever it is i need would that be ok? and would any one know what the compression is on the RB25DE? and how would the studs on the wheels make a diff? might be a dum question but yeh i dont see how that can change anything

Ok zer0rez, here a few things you will need to change on your n/a line to run a turbo

1.Compression

2.Piston

3.Injectors

4.ECU

5.Fuel Pump

6.Brakes (GTS have smaller brake)

7.LSD

8.Intake Pipe

9.Intercooler

10.Turbo

11.Exhuast

Or else you can go sell car buy turbo r33 S1 (import one cost you anywhere from 15 to 20k)

or get frontcut of rb25 cost no idea :S

if you managed to get 180kw out of your excel with the stock engine,

you shouldnt have any trouble getting 180kw with a non-turbo skyline...

just put your special capa supercharger/turbo in it :cheers:

seriously though, sell ya car and buy the turbo. Its gonna piss you off when you spend like $2-3k in mods and you still get beaten at the lights by a lancer :)

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
