Hey Guys,

I have an R33 that is pretty stock, catback exhause (i think its about 3.5'' with 4.5'' tip) and a HKS air filter is all that is done to it. I wanted to get a bit more power out of it and was wonder what are the 1st steps usually to an R33 to get the ball rolling?

I was thinking Boost Controller & Intercooler would be my 1st steps - but if you have another opinion where i can better spend my money to get better results i would love to hear them.

Cheers!

:happy:

Your first steps should be front/dump pipe ($250-300), hi-flow cat ($150-200).

Then get a boost controller (so you don't overboost), FMIC and then look at a computer.

all depends on how much u want to spend?

cheap way= full exhaust, apexi afc neo, ebc,cooler and 13 psi should get u some healthy figures.

if u want to spend more get a bigger turbo, injectors, fuel pump, aftermarket ecu run 16+ psi

I would definately look at getting a split dump / front pipe (split single piece) made up and a hiflow cat. it'll free up alot of option for future modding.

Then look at intercooler and maybe a power fc. Depending on how far you want to push it, but I would leave it at that. After this point factory parts start to fall short and break and lots of things need to be upgraded to make more power.

You'll be looking at some serious cash, new injectors, fuel rails, fuel pump, new AFMS, forged internals... blah blah blah..

Just depends on how deep your pocket are :happy:

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
