Hey Everyone!

I've posted some before and after shots of what I've done so far to my R33. I'd like to know what you all think, constructive feedback only please.

Originally bought like this:

Front end was a mess and had to straighten everything up and clean up the interior (don't have interior shots):

Still have to straighten a few things up but basically, this is what it looks like:

Thanks for the comment mate

Yeah, I was going to go aftermarket but I thought the s2 looked a lot cleaner and still made it look good.

Looks wise I'm planning on dropping it about an inch and a half, spacing out the wheels so they sit flush and a crabon fibre d-wing

Performance-wise I have a GT35R going in next week, then a powerFC followed by injectors.

Should be fun :blink:

Cheers.

Looking good mate. The Series 2 front end looks much better, imo! Any other plans for it?

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
