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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
