Car - R33 Gts-t...."pretty rare these days"

Mods Already - GReddy Air Filter, Heavy Duty Clutch....*sigh*..i know dont laugh!

What i was thinkin..

1. JJr Turbo back exhaust w/ split dump $899.00 from Just Jap

2. Stealth FMIC $550.00 from Just Jap

3. Boost it to 10 Psi w/ Turbotech boost controller $30 from E-bay

4. Lowered with King Springs and shocks 35mm $650 from local suspension shop

5. CAI $190 from JS auto imports

6. Tune & Labour $leftover!! :P

Total - $2319

Also if I can save up for this week instaed of going out Front and Rear Strut braces.

Over all I want a nice lil package utilising both power and handling!

:P ..eeek...

how much?..what bout a re-map?

or Apexi Safc???

how much u asking for NYTSKY?

ask yourself how much power do you want in the end? or wat you want your car to do

and do your mods according to that

PFCs go for around 1500 these days...

if your going the power root, i highly recommend a FMIC + the turbo back exhaust MINIMUM

Pretty much what ive set above is all i want to do.

Wanna Start saving for a house...so would a Power FC be REALLY that beneficial!

Is it possible to tune with the standard computer?

What about regapping my spark plugs from 1.1mm to .08mm to overcome the flatspot?

plug and play??

by this u mean it has tuned settings with the respective mods i have, or will i have to re-tune it!

It will need to be retuned mate,even if i had the same mods as you it would still be smart to have it retuned.

But it does have a base map in it that will get you around until you get it tuned.

Front and rear swaybars - $550

turbo back exhaust - $500

PowerFC - NYTSKY is selling one for $1250

Turbotech boost controller - $30

FMIC - $500

Save the rest + a bit extra for a tune.

At about 12psi you should come close to 200 rwkw

Fit the parts yourself and learn something about your car

Don't just buy lowered springs, you will flog out your stock struts in no time and the ride will be shit anyway. The swaybars will make a huge difference to handling and you will retain some ride quality.

If what you have listed is as far as you are going to take your car, I suggest the following;

Swaybars, pineapples, adjustable bushes (camber & caster), & hicas lock bar $1k

Brake pads and braided lines $400

R34 Gtt side mount intercooler $150

Turbotech boost controller $30

Turboback exhaust (I would go for a custom or second hand jap) $1k

Toshi ECU remap $400

All up $2980

Bang for bucks in terms of handling, braking and grunt.

if ure getting an fmic.... save money on the CAI and make it yourself. it will cost u 20 bux if u buy some PVC pipes from bunnings (u can put it through the standard cooler holes) im sure it wont b as good as actually buying one..but it will be very close and with the money saved u can buy a strut bar or some petrol... also if those are all the mods that ure going to do..u might want to look into getting a jaycar digital fuel adjuster. works like the SAFC but it will only cost u like 200$ with the tune (look it up)

u dont really need cai just get a pod (second hand ones are always around in the for sale section) and like above make a cai for real cheap these days

JJR Full Exhaust (includes dump/front, stainless cat and cat back) $899

PFC $ 1250

Trust Intercooler Kit $664

Turbotech Boost Controller $30

PFC Tune ~$400

Total $3243 (Just a little bit over)

OR you could cancel out the power fc and get yourself some nice shocks, spring and swaybars.

BUT if i were you and you were never going to go any further with engine mods I wouldnt worry too much about a pfc because i dont think the power gains

will be huge. You will probably gain about 20kw and a better power curve but i dont think it will be a huge difference in noticeable power. You will get much more

enjoyment out of a few good suspension mods.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
