R33 First Mods!


Recommended Posts

Hey all,

Long time member, very short term owner!! Just bought a 95 r33 GTST with just a Apexi 3 inch full exhaust and a blitz FMIC.

My question being, what kind of mods should i go for first to get the most bang for my buck?? i want to follow these criteria:

Reliability - This is my daily driver so i want to make sure i can rely on it everyday (MOST IMPORTANT) I dont really want to dial the boost up too much if at all (solely for the sake of reliability)

Cost Effectiveness - I dont have bags of Deniros so im trying to find the best mods for the best prices.

Kamikazekid (justin) has been helping me a lot, so ive got a fair idea, but id like to get a few other peoples opinions :( Thanks!!

First mod im thinking of is a K&N panel filter, then safc. What do you guys reckon??

My goal in the end is 200rwkw, what kind of mods am i looking at to get that kind of power everyday safely??

And finally, what would be the highest amount of boost you could run through a stock r33 turbo safely on a daily basis??

Thanks heaps guys!!!!

I would recommend

- highflow panel filter (K&N or Apexi) $70

- EBC - Greddy Profec B $400 approx

- SAFC/ E-manage or preferrable 2nd hand Power FC (if you can find one) - $250-1000

- possibly fuel pump (Walbro/Bosch 040/Nismo/Denso?Tomei etc) $160-$400 - you don't want the stock one to fail and lean at higher revs which could cause engine failure

From there I would look at suspension, wheels and tyres so that your car will handle better to take advantage of extra power.

Depending on how you drive it, you may want to start saving for a HD clutch also.

Otherwise good luck and enjoy your ride - they are great cars!

well with RB25's its not so hard to get 200rwkw on 10 or 11 psi......all you need is:

* Full exhaust system - i mean dump pipe, highflow cat and all

* Front Mount Intercooler - which i think you already have

* K&N high flow air filter

* If you still have factory ECU - get it well tuned out

* Z32 Air Flow Meter - these are easier to tune with and are straight bolt ons

and my friend your looking to make 200+rwkw.......stock turbos can handle 14 psi (1 bar) but not recommended for daily use.....maybe a just for a little bit of thrashing once in a while

    • Me too. Apparently the new version of Invision will allow some customisation so look forward to a 'Love' reaction and a new 'Like' icon.
    • Which injectors are you using? It's likely the fuelling is off also, so as above.
    • Awesome to know. I have a Series 1, and When pulling my front bumper off for the first time i realised my reo/crash bar was a bit worse for wear, and was going to try pick up a better one soon just so i can replace it. Someone is selling a full series 2 front bar and brackets for a decent price, so was going to probably reuse my brackets and install the new second hand reo/crash bar. I also have a genuine Altia body kit to do up, spray and put on, and not sure if that will use the series 1 or series 2 brackets for the front bumper, so having both will be handy, and knowing i can drill holes out to make stuff fit between series is also handy to know!
    • I should also say that the while they are different the only parts that matter are the center headlight supports and center bar from S1 to S2. The center bar will work, but the S1 has holes that clips go through into the S1 bumper. So if you were super cheap you could simply drill the S2 bar. Same thing with the side/wings. They have slightly different 'clips' but can be made to work. The center headlight brackets however, cannot. This is also where the GTR differs, which has a different center bar, and different headlight supports (to either GTT system), it also has different 'wing' headlight supports which is what I am calling under the headlight. However those CAN be made to work with the GTT Reo for a GTR front bar by a small spacer and a drill/tapping a thread into the reo because the bolt positions are slightly different. So people only really need the center brackets to go between GTT S1, GTT S2, and GTR if you are happy to do some tinkering.
