shortly i will be doing some heavy mods on my r33.. such as turbo, injectors, coilpacks...

is it cheaper to buy the parts yourself through ebay or online shops such as sliding performance?

or buy through a mechanic workshop? eg: ovaboost, hyperdrive etc.... do they add on extra $$?

cheers

from experience, the little bit more for your tuner to supply and fit is worth it, if anything goes wrong it's up to them to fix it. i had a clutch fitted at the beginning of the year, the flywheel was badly machined and caused vibration at low revs. due to the workshop supplying all the parts and they wernt sure of the problem until it was stripped, i ended up with a new clutch and billet flywheel fitted at no cost except for original clutch only fit.

I know some people that buy all their stuff from over East or directly from Japan and save shitloads. eBay stores and Sliding Performance do have warranties, but the shipping puts strain on that process.

If you're up for fitting the parts yourself, buying online might be the best option, but if you'd require someone else to do the fitting, do it locally as said above.

just a quick Question..

when i upgrade my turbo.. my car will be making btwn 350-380hp

what size injectors would i need??

if i get injectors that are too big.. will it effect fuel economy.. or will it only use at what it needs?

No it will only effect fuel economy if you use them to their potential through spirited driving.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
