Hi Guys

Been browsing and reading for the last couple of months on things to do to my stock R33 and I think I'm nearly finished and prepared to start spending.

I however did want to get some approval on my plans or some negative feedback if I'm heading down the wrong path.

My goals at the present time are around the 280-300rwkw area as i would like to leave the internals alone at the moment.

The parts I've purchased so far are Apexi PFC, Z32 AFM, HKS Type S FMIC and I'm booked in to drop a manual box in in the next couple of weeks.

The other parts that I was looking at and need advice on are:

  • Turbo - 3037 with the external wastegate, I was looking at a .73 A/R as it will be a street driven car and from the information I've read this would be a compromise between peak power and spool up time?? Correct me if I'm wrong with any assumptions i make in this thread >_< . Now the trim i would love someone to give me their choice and reason.
  • Manifold - High mount Extreme Turbo Manifold and I think this includes the single dump??
  • Wastegate - Was looking at the HKS GTII 50mm. Good brand, small in size and looks pretty :D yay, nay?
  • Injectors - Either NISMO or HKS 550cc. I can't see there being a problem in either of those brands?
  • Fuel pump - Tomei kit. Heard these are a treat of a pump and won't fail on me.
  • Boost controller - Apexi AVC-R. Don't think I'll have any objections from this.
  • Splitfire coils
  • Tomei pon cams
  • Exhaust - Need to decide on the manifold before buying this??

If I've forgotten any important part please e-bash me :D

Thank you if you could be bothered reading this... and even bigger thank you for some advice!! :D

I'm surprised you didn't list that you want a front mount intercooler, but you'll need one of these. A JustJap kit should be fine?

Edit: My bad. You did say you've got one ><

nismo injectors are good for your tuner, perhaps consider 740s. talk to the guy you want to tune it.

tomei fuel pump is the easiest possible install and quiet as the stock pump. I just installed one and i'm very happy after having a bosch 040 for a few months.

if you get an apexi avcr, you may as well just get the power fc boost control kit off nengun, they are very similar in performance. i would recomend a blitz unit.

i will leave the rest for everyoine else to fight over >_<

    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
