I have owned this R33 for around 2 years now but it spent most of the time parked in the driveway as I had my white R34 “GTNAH” and thought I can build the R33 to be my thrasher/Track car at the same time. The project started sometime last year working with my brother but here is a run down of the events that took place.

The R33 started something like this:

Unregistered

1995 RB25det

R34 Neo turbo

Front mount

3” Exhaust

HD clutch

Lowered springs

Stock wheels

Genuine Impul skirts and rear bumper

Stock look - Test fitting my R34 wheels (Rota P45 R2 18x10 +12)

The plan was to keep it simple but for most projects things don’t always go according to plan. So a BN kit was sourced and due to the poor status of the paint, it had to be sorted. That's when it was sanded down and prepared for a respray.

In the means time, a set of Tein coilovers and 18” XXR wheels were installed along with an aftermarket bonnet and the end result was something like this.

At this stage I needed a daily and knowing non of the pits in perth would pass the car as it is, it had to be altered to be more street friendly so after a few minor adjustments and a couple of trips to pits, it was registered and officially street legal.

The plan now is to install some of the a few bolt on mods that I have to get the car back to its original plan which was track days with the ability to use it as my daily.

KKR480 Turbo

Wolf 3D ECU

External wastegate

Change fluids (box,diff)

Change thermostat and Fuel filter

Boost controller

Upgrade Coilpacks

Apexi ECV

Upgrade fuel pump

Alloy Radiator

Nardi Steering Wheel

GTR seats

GTR front bumper

GTR bonnet

There is always a chance of more unpredictable changes while its getting ready for a decent respray but for now the GTR bonnet / bumper seem like the ideal options since I have already have the parts

Feel free to make any suggestions

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
