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.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
