I've recently bought a R33 GTST to get into some track stuff, only mods it has are performance ones.

I was thinking of getting whiteline sway bars\struts, would this be a good upgrade?

It depends on what track stuff your going to do - circuit or drift? Have you done any track stuff before?

We are currently setting up a drift car and our advice to our customer is to go with a basic setup - adjustable coil overs and sway bars. It also depends on the condition of the existing bushes in your car. The main thing is not to go to an extreme and buy every adjustable suspension component you can. You will be overwhelmed with adjustments. Figure out your driving style first with the basics and improve the car from there.

Yep, i use my r33 for drifting with my drift setup i currently have a 2way mechanical diff, JJR Solid Rear Cradle Bush Set , tien HA's coilovers, rear swaybar, hicas bar, adjustable castor rods.. and its perfect for drifting :)

Ye I agree. It would be good for you to notice the difference each modification makes. Try without any handling mods. Then I would probably start with the basic first e.g. a good coilover set (or sepatate shock/spring combo). Then some sway bars, castor rods, pineapples, etc etc. You will be amazed at how some of these mods affect the car. Something I have always wanted to try.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
