Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this forum, although I've had my car for about a year now. It's my first car, although I had to wait an eternity to get it. I got it fresh off the boat from a dealer, had to wait a few weeks for him to get it complied and all. Its a 40th Anniversay R33 GTS-T, but thats about all I know about it. Its got a rear R33 GTR spoiler, but I can't seem to find many other specs on it. It's got an after market Blitz blow off valve, pod filter, and a Nismo 3 inch cat-back as well. I'm getting a GReddy turbo timer installed as I type :P , and as you can see from the pics I got blue LEDs put in near the feet. I plan to keep this car for the longrun, and want to spend money on it on further mods, BUT being a noob, I have no idea. I used to drive my parents tissue-box-on-wheels before this, so I really do not know much about cars, but I'm learning as I go along.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I also wanna go on skyline runs with you guys!

Hopefully the pics get attached properly, please let me know what you guys think, and any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers!

First off welcome :P

As for info on the 40th anniv. model (I've got one myself) apart from the pillar badging, the seat badging and some extra available factory options, they're the same as any other S2 R33 albeit built in 1998 just before the R34's (or very late 97 for some).

As far as mods go, best place to start is always with the exhaust (power wise at least). You already have the cat back, so the next step would be a 3" dump/front pipe and a high flow cat which would complete the exhaust system and give you a nice gain in power.

From there depending on what path you want to take (or take first) you can go with an upgraded intercooler (R34 side mount if you don't plan to go much past 200rwkw, which the stock turbo will do) or a front mount if you plan to go further with an upgraded turbo etc...

There's plenty of mods to get good power, but don't neglect suspension, tires and brakes.

Have a good read through the various sections of the forum, and utilise the search function to find all the info you could ever want on your car and the different ways to go about modifying it :D

Congratulations on the purchase :D

Welcome to the forum mate, I also drive a 40th anniversary but in midnight purple. Your best to search the forums and do some reading on the first mods to do and just rock up to any cruises/meets/dinners in your area.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
