Hi guys, fantastic forum, but being wet behind the ears and new to the skyline r33, can you tell me the best choices to make and in what sequence to start the modification process of my stock gts25t. Any ideas and help appreciated.

Congrats dude. Enjoy this fanf**kingtastic car you got.

I'd suggest you get used to the power you already have now and then think about mods. If you can't wait like most of us, go the exhaust (turbo back would be preferable) and pod filter first. This is assuming your car is stock standard which I doubt it is. I know you said that it is but hasn't it got a pod at least or something?

You might want to list what power you are intitially after and these guys might be better able to assist you. I say initially as once the bug has bitten there is no enough.

btw, you might want to state your budget too.

Good luck mate.

Under the bonnet l believe it is standard, the pod filter you talk about is a replacement for the air intake filter, yes. are these a kit item or do you make them up out of individual items. Does a pod filter add much noise to the inside of the car??

Welcome Jethead,

Good buy the Gts25t, When I first got mine, I wanted to power up safely and as reliable as possible. And I think most will agree with the first three mods that I did are just that:

1. zorst (turbo back)

2. pod filter (yes they're louder inside but its such a good sound)

3. boost controller (your running stock 5psi and you can go to 9-10 safely)

Those three mods should keep you going for a while.

Have fun

P.S. run optimax as well!

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      So I raised the car up a fair bit for shipping - see image - then lowered it again when it arrived. I then rushed to get an alignment in NL before the track and the shop just wasn’t anywhere near as precise as what I got in Japan. The guys that did the alignment this week said there was a fair amount of toe in the rear that could have contributed to the understeer. It was also the case that the rear camber went from about -2 to -3 at the shop in NL. However, since I’ve now got slightly wider tires in the rear - NS2Rs run wider than Accelera 651S - I could only get a minimum of -3 in the rear now due to clearance. Front is now -2.75 (-2.45 in minutes) due to being raised a bit (previously -3 in JP). So it’s likely a combination of the two factors, camber and toe. The issue now is I have more camber in the rear than the front and the next step on the front Cusco arms will put me at -3.5ish front which seems a bit excessive to me. The weird thing is I’ve never had any understeer at the track in Japan but they are very different circuits - Japanese circuits are much slower than the one I’ve been to here.    I’m probably going to have to start another thread for the E90. The plan is sort of to keep it as a daily but progressively mod it into a track car - honestly, you need a cage for the sort of speeds you go here. Just ordered the M3 front arms btw.  Love the car despite it being in pretty shitty condition. Oil analysis came back okay and it seems to have stopped consuming oil since fixing a load of engine bay things. Saw yours is a 335i right? f**king mistake on my part getting the DI N53 over the N52, fuel economy is insanely good though at 14-16 km/L.   Cheers, it’s great to see the benefits and pitfalls of different places. I’m contemplating going back to the U.K. around next year as the cost of living in the Netherlands is just ridiculous. GF is nagging me to settle and buy a house but I don’t know what LSD to buy.

      Have you seen the Milwaukee Train Horn? It's a beast! I stumbled upon it while browsing for upgrades. I'm thinking of adding it to my ride for some serious sound. Here's the link if you wanna check it out: https://bosshorn.com/products/milwaukee-train-horn. Anyway, thanks again for sharing your method.

      Anybody home...? I used to moderate this part of SAU about 20 years ago... hard to beleive it's still around basically unchanged with all the old posts pinned at the top. Amazing to read all those posts again.  If anyone drops by, I'm still in Japan (Nishinomiya, between Osaka and Kobe).  Cheers 🙂
