Hey For All Those Lovers Of The R33 I decided to start this thread going because i'm starting to see more and more stock r33's on the road!

I'm not saying that i'm not one of these people cause i am but i only got my car a month n a half ago and am in quite abit of debt for someone my age!

Now whatever money i'm getting together that i'm not putting towards the loan, i'm saving up to put towards the Liner!

Anybody with Ideas, tips, Prices, and whatever u feel u want to say about the R33's please say it cause i'm only starting to understand how the turbo works, ect. i dont no a whole lot about them so your help would be needed!

plus i thought all r33 lovers might have a chance to have our own little chat thingy!

Mate, if your car is stock - I would go for a Cat back exhaust (preferably a jap brand). And a hi-flow panel for your filter. That will keep you happy for a while, then save up and get a bleeder vavle if you cant afford an Electronic Boost Controller.

keep it stock till u learn how to drive!!

Amen to that. Atleast until you gte used to the characteristics of the car...

My plan is to keep it stock for a few months... maybe a stez and wheels in that time, but nothing performance, then a cat back exhaust, the hi-flow cat, dump pipe working my way from outlet to inlet...

No need to up the boost too high (if at all) until you have all the cooling sorted... then i'll see if im content, otherwise look internal (enginewise). Somewhere in there if the balance starts to shift toward undriveable, i'll look at a suspension set up...

Here's the thing, my car isn't compleatly stock but engin wise it is! i'm running a 6 grand sound system in it so the sound is pretty good! there is an exhaugst on it and it's stain steel but it's not from the cat! my dad who's a freak about mod's and doesnt want me to do anything to the car has def. said i cant change the exhaught! I've just recently put in a HKS mushroom filter which has definatly added abit more boost to the car!

when i first got it i was prety confident wit driving it cause in my commodore i was running Gen 3 V8 and i was used to the power. I was recently chatting to a mate who has a sylvia and u mite no it the number plate is KA701C. It was at the final battle at auto salon and it's the charmealin (how ever u spell it) paint!

He's recomended that i get a trust front mount intercooler but i was just thinking or getting an GTR intercooler? which would be better!???

Did your dad pay for the car or u?

If u did, stuff what your dad says, do what mods u want after u learn to drive the thing.

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
