In June 2007 I bought an
R33 Nissan Skyline GTS25t Series II, imported second hand from Japan in good condition. The car is a wonderful example of Japanese automotive engineering and has a stock RB25DET powerplant sucking air via a
pod filter. The turbine is standard and is kept safe by a TB305 Turbo Timer. The wheels are
Speedline type 1908 17x9" alloys wrapped in
N3000 235/45/R17 tyres. The engine breathes a little easier with a 3"
mandrel bent zorst to the turbo and is fitted with a 5" muffler. An Mongoose M60 immobilizer/alarm and keyless entry is also fitted. For the interior, with a
Modena 2 steering wheel,
Carbon Fiber sports peddals and a
Sony Xplod Head Unit with Pioneer 6" the rear and some JBL 3-ways in the front.
I've yet to do any major modifications but methinks a larger turbo (perhaps an
HKS GT2835 or
Garrett GT3071R) and a front mount 'cooler with some new engine managment may do the trick. The single turbo RB25 in stock form is rated at 186KW, but breathing a little better with a Pod and 3" turbo-to-tip plus high-flow cat, it should produce over 200KW no problem. I've seen plenty of examples of the RB25DET up there at over 400KW. Truley a masterpiece of enginerring.
I previously had a 1.8 litre 1999 MR Mitsubishi Lancer. It was fairly stock, with minor aftermarket changes, such as 16" Lenzo
Concept 5 alloys wrapped in
ZE 502 (205/55/R16) tyres, a
air filter. The MR Lancer used a Mitsubishi GA64 SOHC 4 Cylinder powerplant, rated at about 86Kw at the flywheel.
