I've got an S1 R33 gtst,

So far I have cat back exhaust, pod with token CAI, 550 HP fuel pump, rising rate regulator and AVCR. Performance is pretty good, better than stock. But I want more, so I'm planning on FMIC, Dump pipe and SAFC. I want to do them all altogether but that will never happen, so I think I should wait to do the SAFC last so I only have to get it tuned once.

Will putting a front mount on first (now) stuff up my air flow readings or anything????

Thanks

:headspin:

Putting on the front mount now won't do any harm, you might see a little increase in power, or none at all. But it won't hurt and it makes more sense doing that first to save on tuning costs, so you are thinking right imo.

On the subject of doing it all at once, i wouldn't recommend it, as you'll get used to the new power just the same, better off doing it in increments as you feel the power gain through each mod, and seem to appreciate it alittle more. Just my 2 cents.

The S-AFC-2 has the knock sensor, more adjustment rpm points (8v12) and you have smaller adjustment increments of 200rpm, instead of 500rpm compared to the S-AFC 1 I believe. I just recently got my S-AFC 2 (new) through nengun, $420 this includes shipping to my door.

Hey deano_33,

i put my s-afc on before my FMIC...simply because I bought it even before I fully paid for my car. The drawback was that i nearly heat-soaked my stock cooler after being so gung-ho about all that new power. Had to keep backing off.

After getting my FMIC on, the car felt so much better, like it was no sweat if I wanted to push and push.

I'd suggest putting the FMIC first, cos like everyone else said, there's no problem. U'll feel an increase in power I'm sure. And it'll feel like the car can do more than u think.

The s-afc will be like the icing on the cake.

    • So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you  
    • I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'  
    • D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.
    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
