"lol @ r33 ...man that exhaust housing is f*ken tiny"
"it should still be fine once the turbo kicks in (with bulk lag... bulk)
The dude doesnt no what he is talking about...for one the smaller the exhaust housing the less lag you will have, also I have seen this cars dyno sheets and also watched the car being tuned at Boostworx witch has there dyno calabrated very often and is known in Adelaide to read low....Yes if you modify ANY car you will always have a weak link that will give way and need to be fixed but this car has had 99% of those parts replaced with new items and given the owner has vast mechanical knowledge that should also put your mind at ease that this car was modified correctly. As far as buying a stock car and building it up over buying a modified one...yes and no, if your not the kind of person that wants there new car in and out of workshops for the first 6 months of ownership then just buy a modified one. Get a compression test/leakdown test/dyno tune to see that the a/f mixtures are correct,take it to a crash shop to check for accident history hell even pull of the turbo and have it checked...what Iam getting at is its going to be alot cheaper to do all these tests to put your mind at ease then actually buy a stock car and build it from scratch to put your mind at ease....think about it. Also R33 gtst run the same strength gearbox and also the same brakes as an R32 GTR so these cars are by no means base models in the skyline world.
