Can anyone comment on whether or not these items combined are worth the money and will make a difference? Or any other recommendations would be great. They are for a stock R33 S2 GTsT with 3" Turbo back exhaust.

Ok, thanks for that. I have another question. Since I have a rear strut brace I'd like to have a front one (just 'cause I would) so would this be any good? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...em=120405300972

i have similar mods to what you want.

bought my stealth intercooler from just jap- cheap looking kit but does its job

bought a 70buck boostcontroller. looks like it holds boost pretty well.

bought front and rear strut braces from justjap- 100 bucks each. cheap but do the job.

and ill be buying that induction pipe soon. not so much for performance but just looks.

all cheap stuff and does the job fine. its not like im trying to build a track or drag monster so dont really need the brand name parts. if i had the money i might have bought the good stuff. but with all that stuff added up above, i would have only been able to buy a good electronic boost controller.

Yes, agreed. I'm looking at mods that won't break the bank, be blatantly obvious or require cutting holes in any part of the Chassis/Body. The reason I mentioned the Hard Pipe is 'cause I read somewhere that the stock one will cave in if you draw too much suction through the standard air box and I'm not interested in a Pod Filter.

I do think that I'll spend a bit more and get a half decent front strut brace though. The rear one I've got looks pretty solid and is even adjustable.

lol @ bungy cord for the sub box :blink:

i think the hard pipe intake increases the induction noise a little.

And you wont have any problem with the rubber pipe closing up under boost. you need a far bit for that to happen :wub:

Have been considering the hard pipe myself, purely for the sound.

Yeah, I'm laughing too. I only picked the car up last night so I have a couple of little things to do to it. I'm still thinking of how to mount it securely but still be easily removed. :blink:

I've found the most difficult part to source so far is a dashmat. Aunger do one but I'm trying to find a helpful retailer to order it in. Part number is ADM4192A(colour).

yer i recon definetly get the boost control those things are great value for money...

Did you/do you recommend to remove the restrictors from the factory plumbing?

Edit: Yay....now I can edit

I bypassed the two stage solenoid today and I'm looking forward to installing the boost controller. The auto definately needs more low to mid range 'cause I'm already sick of having to rev it out to go anywhere quick. Too used to V8s I guess. lol...

Edited by Stevodm

the induction pipe is a piece of shiit. installed it today. doesnt look like it hooks up with the BOV return but it doesnt hook up to the oil pipe to the head. had to get some new hose. shiit quality too. got it and it looked like it had been slid on a floor. no extra induction noise and no dose or anything like that. i suggest u get a custom one made up. just a couple of silicone adaptors, say 90degree bent 2inch to 3inch piece (guessing), to a 3 inch piece of pipe and another silicone joiner to the AFM. then just drill holes and weld on the extras u need.

    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
    • Yeah man, absolutely. You can try pushing me all the way in swapping the R34 for an E9x M3 
    • It's almost certainly going to be some amount of pads compound transfer onto the rotors. It will probably go away after you've run them for a bit. If not, pull it all out, lightly sand the rotors, scuff the pads, and rebed.
    • no one recommending speedtek gearsets?   i'm in the same boat as Cosline but rwd, I am holding boost back in third to 600nm at the hubs to save the gear as i make nearly 750nm at the hubs on a mainline
