Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting a FM on my series 2 R33 GTST and wondering a good place in Sydney to get it done, also how much am I looking at? Doesn't need to be brand name or fancy, just work well.

Same questions on:

EBC

Power FC

My car is stock except for adjustable BOV, Apexi CAI and full 3" exhaust so hoping with EBC, ECU and FMIC I'll get good power gains, 180rwkw maybe?

When I had those same mods as you listed (except replace EBC with a manual boost tee on 12psi), I made 192rwkw

As for a front mount, never had any problems with a china model from ebay but I'd recommend a turn flow cooler so you don't have to cut a hole for the cold pipe. Should save some hassle if you get pinged and need a RWC.

PowerFC seem to go for anywhere from $1000-$1500, add $700 on that for a tune.

Get just jap return flow, cheap and pretty good even with bigger power levels and install is pretty straight forward too im sure you could do it yourself and save some labour costs if your willing.

Yeah I wouldn't know where to start though... Does TuneHouse do installs?

Hey man,

you will get some good gains with this mod list but when it comes to coolers, spend a bit more as the cheap ones, while are capable will add alot of weight to the front end and you will feel it when you hit a pothole or speedbump: ARC is a good brand and dont go too big; just what you need.

Pick a good tuner around your area, call them and tell them about your car and schedule some time where you can go down and take 20mins of there time to have a chat.

Search this site too, theres plenty on basic mods with results.

all the best

I've got a hi low boost controller you can have for 50. Has a plate you fit into the cigarette rubbish pocket thing in the r33. Its a hybrid branded unit with two dials and hi low switch.

Awesome hybrid is good right? Does it come with wiring? Can i have model number? How long do you think it would take someone to install so I can get quoted for this?

It has all the wiring and what not. It's kind of DIY but it has 3 wires which connect directly into the engine loom(I can find out which collie wire for you). Send me a pm I'll get you pictures of the actuator, wiring and control face. Be aware this isn't the new tech hybrid stuff which cost a pretty penny, this is kind of old tech stuff it's still dual stage hi low but doesn't have the bells and whistles(gain control, LCD etc) just a simple ebc which does what it does! Hence the awesome price, even a manual boost tee cost more!

This is how I put mine in more or less. http://photos.imageevent.com/kadepunk/hybridinstallationguides/GTS%20kit.pdf

Get a hard pipe kit from ebay and the intercooler of your choice. Get a big one. Be confident and drill yourself a hole with a hole saw. Piece of piss mate.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
