hey guys i am after some ideas on what i should do next.

the car is a r33 s2 manual.

mods so far

fmic

bosch fuel pump

splitfire coils packs

highflowed turbo

greddy profec b

full exhaust

i am after a little more go. (not after huge power).

most of the mods that were done to the car were done because of faulty parts at the time.

I do have a budget of 2k to spend.

daily driven car.

any ideas would be helpful, I have a bit of an idea but I just don't want to waste money on mods that are not worth it.

experiences would be helpful here..

thanks rob

Possibly some sort of ECU to make the most your current mods. Check the classified, there are a few power FC's floating around for a 33 or possibly a VIPEC (do they have a model for a GTST?) which is only say $500 up the road of your current budget installed and tuned. Would add a little if not a lot more go, which is what your after.

You need a tunable ecu. Your next logical power mods would be bigger injectors and a Z32 afm. If you get a Link or a Vipec you won't need the afm and can just get some bigger injectors when funds allow or a good buy comes along. Set your adjustable cam gear at 4deg retarded - that should do until you get it on a dyno when you have an ecu.

im pretty sure it dosnt matter if you get a manual or auto ecu the code is rewritten to suit your needs any way. Because your car is a series 2 thereare afew little issues we have found lately with the z32 ecu. One was fixed fairly easily the other is causing false knock to be detected making the car run on knock maps, hopefully the issue will be figured out soon

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
