Yes and it has alot of features too, boost can be controlled by the ecu using a mac, launch control & no need for afm . Engine bay looks really mint. One thing I've learnt Is that buy parts that you're going to use 110% well most things always don't go your way:/.

Here are photos. I went with blue. Tuner will do welding & other fabrication needed.

wow crazy how time flew by and life got busy.Qualified in my field of work, travelled the world ( including jdm land) & matured up etc. I was just 19 when i bought my 33, reading back i can see how excited i was! now 28 still excited but rational! kept the 33 till 2020,plenty of events attended and i enjoyed that car, met and made alot of friends, been to world time attack, gtr festival,racewars,tokyo autosalon, snowy mountains 1,000 & plenty of other events. Bought a 32 gtr back in 2016 that car ended up making 600whp on e85 did powercruise and was a solid street car, ultmately threw a rod (typical rb26 stuff). Sold the 33 to finish off my 32 gtr build, Nitto 3.2 stoker kit cnc ported head, samsonas rs90, precision 7675, emtron ecu,mechanical fuel pump aiming for 1200+8sec. Gtr build isnt far off  being done. Cant thank everyone enough for the replies, the little knowledge helped me alot to venture into other things. Now i can pull out an engine, pull it apart and put it all back into a car etc. I'll do a final post for the R33 with photos before i sold it. If you would like to follow the gtr build its on insta under 90s_hero_32. The car scene has changed alot, everyone is car enthusiast apparently & you must respect them even with a junk build filled replicas, china spooly boy. SAU keeps the egos down compared to other socials.

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
