I bought a R33 GTS-T in october and havent done anything to it, it came with wheels which is about it, but everything else is clean.

I'm only going to start of small and gradually get bigger things like an exhaust system etc...

Looking at first getting a BOV, probably the GREDDY TYPE RS.

What you think? any other BOV's people recommened and also any other upgrades which is should gradually get to in the upcoming months?

Cheers.

BOV's arent really an upgrade iirc. not unless you are making biggish power. your stocko will do.

do your engine breathing mods. biggest gains/dollar i think. i mean get a full exhaust, highflow cat, air intake, cai. then other shit which i dont know much bout as yet. going thru the same process as u atm.

seroiously get an exhaust, even if that blows ur budget u will have improved ur performance by a decent amount. i put on an exhaust from dead stock and it went from 144rwkw to 169. i got a twin dump pipe, 3" system with high flow cat....cost me 1350 with dyno before and after.....opened her right up...got me to a 13.4 down the qtr mile.....

Forget BOVs... unles you want to start getting problems with ur car runnign rich (poor economy) and an occasional stall.

get a turbo back exhaust. I just got Just Japs JJR high flow turbo back and it kicks ass... not too loud and you can really see the improvement in the top end revs.

First thing would defiently be an exhaust and pod if you like,

then a FMIC! =]

You can get some cheap kits these days.

Don't block your bov off, the standard turbo won't last long at all.

If you do boost your car, be careful because as i said! The standard

turbo doesn't really last too long hehe.

First time i boosted mine it popped :blink:

Thennnn if you have spare money get your standard turbo highflowed :action-smiley-069:

Yea nothing wrong with a nice BOV if u want it to sound a bit defferent I would go with the HKS super-seqential really good high pitched noise.

    • I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
    • Have a chat with Ben at Moore Performance or Jesse at JS Performance.
    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
