pretty much u cant if u have a r33.. no one will touch them and Nistune dont make a board for them..

U have to get a r32 ecu, then nistune it, then get ur variable valve controller installed as well..

after all this is done, ur better off just getting an Apexi PFC for ur Car, and having a much better / through tune.. I know Dr.Drift does this, and he charges arround $1,200... So by the time u pay all that may as well get an Apexi for $1000-1,300 and get that tuned up :P

I went through the whole weighing up all the options like this too, but Apexi PFC came out on top, that is probably ur best chance of getting a good decent tune. Without all the f**king arround to do with a r32 ecu, because in the event that u get EPA'D it will be much easier to swap straight over... And you WILL get EPA'd its just a matter of time..

Anyway my 2 cents on what i did and why i did it, but best of luck to you.

the best and cheapest i can think of is an SAFC

the PFQ FAQ in my signature covers the differences between the SAFC and PFC

if you are ok accepting what the SAFC does and its results it would be cheaper for you vs PFC

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
