Hello all!

I'm going to finally have a r33-GTR in a few weeks (i'm shopping around for the right one now) after wanting one for the longest time.

I'm super excited so i decided to finally register after lurking for a couple of months :)

I'm also not sure where to ask this question since it's somewhat broad (and i'm new to extensive modifications), but in everyone's opinion what would you find the best mods are for creating that "fast feeling"?

After i buy and replace everything that needs replacing, i planned on doing a cold air intake and potentially more power/weight reduction to get that "slam you back in your seat" feeling i've been chasing ever since i got to ride in a friend's SL55 AMG.

Really appreciate the help and looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome Ashlee. :welcome:

There are lots of threads on here about mods to GTR's from basic (air filters, exhausts, weight reduction) to more advanced (turbos, internals etc) it really comes down to your budget and what you plan to do with the car (street, drag, track work, etc)

You'll find the info you're looking for, just don't wait here for people to answer you. :)

Hey and welcome!

Surprised this thread isn't 5 pages long already :P

On a serious note, I know the feels re the SL55. A guy I work with has an older model I've taken for a spin. It ain't quite stock right now (something like 550hp at the wheels) and he's throwing some more money at it yet! Thing oddly didn't feel all that fast to me....until you look at the speedo :O

      Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
