Hey mate, i had a 97 NA a while ago, tried to do some tuning and found the best mods are:

stock airbox with panel filter, high flow cat with an exhaust if you like the sound and keep your maintenance up (oils, plugs etc)

jst as a downer, i pop'd in a unichip and dyno tune to push out 78awkw which was quite dissapointing but tuning does pick up about 10kw in the low to midrange area if you have the cash to spend.

Welcome to eeiko321's world.

GTS / GTS-T hater! No mater what model.

:dry:

For a 1st mod for a R33 GTS, I would go modified extractors, full 2.25" exhaust with high flow cat.

Leave it as that, or you can go cam gears, cams and internals but I would rather save the cash for buying a turbo model.

Upgrade your springs / fully adjustable suspension would help with handling.

you should bolt on a turbo. seccond hand parts go for a bargin te days

I can say it is not that simple and there is a lot of work involved.

When you add one thing to the car to all leads on to the next.

Best sell the N/A and buy a turbo.

Point was made earlier in the thread (wihout resorting to insulting anyones car, no less.)

The most likely reason that this person wants a lil more out of their NA...is not because they prefer the GTS to GTST or GTR...but for legal reasons. P-plate laws are harsh.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
