R33 Help/assistancce Needed

[TimiJones137]

Aeey. My dad and I just recently bought a 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 Gts25-t, we are probably going to get it in about 10 days+ from today. All I know about the car is that it has a Greddy Induction system, apexi turbo timer and a hks turbo booster. It is probably round 200rwkw of power but what could I do to get it to round 250- 300rwkw. I'd like prices and where to purchase and the pros who can do it 4 me. I'm located in Roxburgh Park near epping, broadmedows and craigieburn ( if you don't know where roxy is:] )

Seems the quickest solution would be Stao from hypergear, for a better turbo, and Trent from Status Tuning. There would be more reward in searching forced induction performance, and working out your own combo.

ecu

3071

z32 afm

fmic

pod filter

splitfires

button clutch

500cc+ injectors

oh and to make use of 300rwkwnyou'll probaly want about 4k in suspension work and a 1.5 way or 2 way locker

lol not too sure myself, it was on the sheet list of extras

[R31Nismoid]

Do you have at least 10k?

Otherwise forget chasing 300rwkw IMO.

Just do some basic mods, get a tune and live with it.

yeah the budget is 15k on mods etc., once we get round 300kW if ther are left overs it'l be spent on sound system/ speakers/ audio etc.

[R31Nismoid]

Sell it then and buy one with the extra 15k you have.

Would make around28k would get you a very well modified R33 GTR for that kinda cash.

that was what i was originaly gona do, but i dont want 4wd

[TimiJones137]

+1

[Count Grantleyish]

Buy my GTR, 302.8rwkw.

Drop the front driveshaft and you're away!

[jezza boii]

suspension....

Are you talking to Kris?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

good choice

[Kinkstaah]

that was what i was originaly gona do, but i dont want 4wd

Then save the money and buy a flat out stupidly modified GTST

i.e, smart people capitalize on other peoples money pits

[Birds]

Amen^

If I could go back in time I would have bought someone elses money pit instead of digging my own. Why start on the surface when you can start 50 metres deep lol.

[krzysiu]

Lol jezza just cuz u have cheapy coilovers doesn't mean you have the kind of suspension setup Hamish is talking about. So u can't comment either lol

[HEKT1K]

sense of achievement, doing it the way you want...

/excuses to make me feel better about starting on the surface lol

[TimiJones137]

I'm not gona buy another R33 n sell this 1 because-

1- not getting a gtr because i dont wanna 4WD (as i hav prev. mentioned)

2- i dont wana buy sum1 elses problems

3- i bought this car from my dad's trustworthy friend

BTW!

what would be the price of a reasonable suspension upgrade suitable for 250-300rwkw

thnx for the recos, i'll consider/contact them once i get insurance

[R31Nismoid]

They are nice reasons mate, i too had that view as well for quite a while, infact a large number of people probably did. Especially if you've been around 5+ years as those cars just didnt exist way back when.

Times have changed though & this time around I've purchased a very well modded car, circuit ready - for nowhere near what it would cost starting from scratch. I'll have it hopefully in the next week or so

There are plenty of brilliantly modified cars here in Vic, from reputable workshops and most of them are regular's @ trackdays etc.

I would strongly suggest you go along to such events, most people have a price they would sell their car for - GTR or GTS-t.

(FYI a 300rwkw GTR will be faster than a GTS-t hands down simply dude to grip)

If you go with the attitude of "someone elses problem" i think that's silly. You'll have just as many problems (if not more) in the process of modifying your own.

Buying someone else's reliably running car, means they've gone through that and sorted it out in due course

What is your intended use for the car?

How old are you?

You also need to factor not only suspension, but brakes and tyres. I mean 18's & tyres alone will come in around 3k depending on what you decide

You'd mince probably 6-8k just in suspension/brakes/diff/clutch and that's without even anything relating to the engine bay which wouldn't see a cent out of 7-8k IMO.

Otherwise if you wanna pursue this plan - read Hamish's post above, he's listed the parts you'll need.
