1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T RB25DET - 40th Anniversary Edition
Current Mods:
Details:
Issues to sort out:
Mods planned (in no particular order):
The power is great, it's obviously far more powerful than anything I've ever owned or driven, the MR2 was the fastest, with 176Bhp, this has around 320Bhp, I plan to take it to 450Bhp. The power now is crazy, you hear 300 odd brake thrown around a lot online, so it sort of becomes normal, but tbh, its not normal at all... haha, i've not been in any other car that pulls like this, and it was in the wettest conditions ever today, I can't wait for a dry road on a hot sticky day, holy crap.
Some quick pics from today, didnt take many, it was raining the whole damn time, lol... I'm off to germany in a day so wont get to take any good ones before then, There will be lots taken at the ring though. Then once I'm back, it's fukcin project time *****es!

Issues to sort out:
- May just be me but after the drive home it sounds abit like it has an exhaust blow somewhere at the front. Im not too worried, new exhaust is on the shopping list anyway.
- Slight hesitation in 5th and on full throttle at 4krpm. Half throttle in 5th is fine, and full throttle in other gears is fine. This isnt an issue either really, as you dont plant your foot at 4k in 5th really, you drop to 4th and plant it, then when you change to 5th you're past 4krpm and it doesnt matter. So not a deal breaker, but does need looking at, i suspect it's something to do with either the map, as its running the aftermarket ecu atm, or it could be related tot he exhaust blow if that exists.
