Hey guys looking for some help picked up myself a clean r33 gtst s2 another a month ago my first turbo car and looking at some upgrades so please suggest away current upgrades

Return flow fmic

Fuel pump unsure of spec

Coil packs

Turbo back exhaust looks to be 3.5 xforce

Manual boost T

K&n air filter

Items I have purchased for the car yet to be installed

660cc side flow injectors

Apexi power fc

Z32 air flow metter

Bigger turbo 430hp rated standed replacement

Now is there anything else I might need before tuning ?

My 2nd problem if anyone can help

Me the turbo I've brought is a straight bolt

Up to factory manifold with some hot side piping adjustment but the standed r33 turbo waste gate actuator has a vac line running to it but the new turbo I've got the actuator on it just has a line running off the actuator to the side intake of the turbo so what do I do ? Please help thank you

Hello Joe and Welcome to the Forums of SAU, It's a friendly place with Generally awesome people.

Usually most of the information you could possibly ever need has been covered many times, and found through the search function..



I personally would recommend a good EBC ( Electronic boost controller ) as I personally have found the Boost T's to cause Problems.
Assuming that you have the stock Airbox? ( unless its a K&N pod.. ) if it's the stock airbox, dont change to a pod unless necessary Or you want the stock BOV to be louder..
The stock Airbox will handle pretty much anything you throw at it.

Possibly look at getting a Hard intake pipe, as the standard ones cant handle too much boost and ends up sucking itself closed.


Cant give any advice on the turbo issue.. You will have more luck if you post that question in the Forced induction section of the Forum.


Note* Hopefully I didnt say anything incorrect in this.. Someone will correct me if i stuffed up :cheers:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
