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.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
