Hey guys, currently only have a stockie '96 R33 S2 M-Spec but having gone from a 98 Honda Accord immediately felt the power difference in every aspect. Now after only a month im used to it and it just feels like any old car...time for upgrades i think :pirate: first was thinking of turbo back exhaust, if done right apparently you can pick up anywhere in between 20-30rkws! This would make a significant improvement and secondly FMIC.

What are your opinions? Thanks in advance!

you have the right mod first, plenty of power is gained from a good exhaust. i went from 144 to 169rwkw with a split dump pipe, 3" system and 5" cat. thats your best option to start with. them fmic and boost, then next level ecu, injectors, pump, turbo, clutch etc etc...

yeh when i had 254 before i blew it up it felt slow....but now 12months later 200kw @6psi lol feels fast but getting tuned for 18 next week....make sure you do your mods in stages so that you get the feel for the car at each power level, i know dudes that went bang heres 15k on mods 12 months later there bored again. rather than do it slow and have more fun

Watch out for the power bug LOL

I went from 199rwk's to 260 and then 292rw's. Now that even feels slow, until you line up a crapy comodore. LOL

As a few of the guy's said before though, the more often you drive it , the less spectacular it feels.

I ownly drive my GTR 1-2 times a week now and get more pleasure from driving it . Damm beats the 1.6 laser wagon. LOL

8 months of withdrawal though waiting for the new clutch. Now its back on the road , Im in heaven. :(

Im now sick of 382rwkw that ive only had for 1 week, but have been driving it a fair bit.

As mentioned the less you drive your car the better it feels.

not bragging ae we?

i agree that above 300 is great but i wouldnt say im sick of it! thats a big call...

where can you use it?

if its a street car then 300 - 350 is ample and can / will get you into alot of trouble with the po po!!

just my thoughts...

Keep in mind the other alternative to make it fun is to make it perform better overall e.g not just more speed but better handling and stopping as well. Great to go fast in a straight line but feeling what it can do through the twisties is a great rush as well.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
