any updates? pics? quotes? I'm really interested I've always wanted a sunroof... nothing beats an r33 with a sunroof on tilt

I asked about this a while ago, didn't get much of a response. The Hollandia 700 looks awesome, probably very pricey though. Did you end up getting those pics? I think sunroof model skylines have extra reinforcements around the sunroof. I've also heard that these reinforcements are installed with most good custom sunroofs so it should all be sweet?

That'd be great. Side by side too if possible?

is it just me, or does the S seem too fat? that's the only thing holding me back

hey, i'd like to get a full set of slotted rotors for my r33 gtst. so thats: R33 GTS-t: F=7693S 296mm RRP $305, R=908S 297mm RRP $190 ie (305 + 190) - 20% = $396 + p&h is that correct for 4 rotors, 2 front and 2 rear? Also open to suggestions for matching pads all around? mainly street use with probably ~5 track days per year?

Hey SK, It's been almost 2 years since this GB launched and I've noticed at least one of the prices has changed since. Can we get an update on all the prices and have any parts been superseded? Looking to buy the full kit very soon. Moreover, how useful is the strut brace? My understanding is that they're better suited to a strut suspension set up (like s15's etc), so are they necessary in a double wishbone suspension configuration? thanks

yeah why not, its only $55. count me in

to all the people that said they'd double check, any confirmations that its possible to install a fmic with absolutely NO cutting? SiR RB: Id expect Just Jap, like other generic core/pipings, to need bar modifications but a brand name cooler might not.

are you selling the stock side mount as well or just piping? if yes I'll buy it

anyone care to answer yawn's question? I'm curious too. and also, 0.8 bar is about 11.6 psi, not 10.

no worries was just curious

Hang on... if Whiteline don't publish the spring rates how were you able to tune up the shockers to match? unless you had special access to the rates?

can anyone else confirm this is true? does this mean the blitz lm is in the cards? on a side note, what is everyone's opinion of china cores?

hmmm 250 seems very pricey. i noticed you posted in that 34 wreck thread from some time ago, the guy was selling his cooler for 80 bucks. did you end up buying?

ive got a series 2, but i thought it still needed cutting? what power is the arc 105mm core good up to?

hmmm ok i'm a tad confused. I was under the impression that the limitation of the 33 turbo was it's ceramic wheel. Although it spools up quickly, it will break at high pressures. So what does leaning have to do with the pressure in the turbo? either way the turbo still boosts the same amount doesn't it?

I mentioned i was putting in a SAFCII, and obviously I'm going to get it tuned with that also not just installing it. this adequate tuning to support 14 pounds of boost? Also, when you mention supporting mods, does what I've listed pretty much cover everything. Anything else I should consider? Thanks for the link Rekin, I did read your thread before posting. I'm curious to see how much better the ARC smic is than the r34, if indeed it warrants the extra cost which is substantial. Regarding trimming the front bar to fit a cooler, with a series 2 front bar, is any trimming visible from outside? for example the 3 little vertical bits of plastic that span over the opening under the licence plate mount... would that still be there or does it need to go to make room for the cooler? Thanks for everyone's input so far. Much appreciated.

i know several people who run it at 16 pounds and are having no dramas at all. I think most people on these forums tend to be a bit conservative regarding max boost on the 33 turbo. 14 should be safe

Nengun sell the m105 core for the r34 for $1500 delivered, and the m075 for the r33 for $1100 delivered. pretty pricy lol but i guess there'd be no installation costs so I'd save there.

i believe it's a direct bolt on replacement using the stock piping... but wouldn't there be any improvement from a more free flowing core? i would have thought the 33 core acted as more of a bottleneck than the piping. I can see where you're coming from, and i would rather get a nice fmic... but i really dread the thought of massacring the front bar :S REALLY want to avoid that lol.

Hey ppl, Lookin at upgrading my cooler so I can increase the boost a little. I drive a 33 gtst, at the moment its fairly stock (just a catback) but I plan to finish off the exhaust then safc + ebc + cooler + pod/panel filter. I'm reluctant to get a fmic cos i really dont wanna cut the bar/reo/anything. So... considering an ARC (or other?) side mount replacement. How would one of these compare to a fmic (say blitz for example)? I have the stock turbo and dont have any plans to replace til it blows, so I'll be running up to 14 psi. will i have problems with the cooler heat soaking? also, how should i expect lag, boost etc to change after just upgrading the cooler? i read in other forums that the 34 smic is a good upgrade, im assuming the ARC would be even better? Thanks for your input.

can anyone say how these boots compare to the $95 boots available on ebay from gaiter? if they're better/equal/only a little bit worse i'm in.

where are you located? ah sorry just noticed NSW plates. never mind then

looks like a nice car mate but thought i'd add those are not s2 headlights in the pictures. just so we don't confuse anyone.
