GeorgeLow Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 (edited) Hello people! After having owned an R33 for 5 years now, thought I'd start a build thread. She was almost bone stock when I first got her in 2011. Then, like many, I got bitten. Hard. And in 2015, I finished my studies in Melbourne and I brought her home to Malaysia. Best decision ever.

GeorgeLow Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks mate. I'll be doing an OTR tune tho. Dyno run is pretty costly these days.

admS15 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Thanks mate. I'll be doing an OTR tune tho. Dyno run is pretty costly these days. Car is looking good George. Parts list looks decent also. What exactly is an otr tune? 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462852-my-white-japanese-girlfriend-r33-build/#findComment-7685642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeLow Posted February 18, 2016 Author Share Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Thanks buddy. Its On The Road tune. Its a more inexpensive alternative compared to dyno tune. Many say that you get a much more realistic tune as it is tuned on actual road conditions though you dont get the fancy graph with accurate torque/HP data. Its also part of the reason why I've decided to settle with OTR tune.

GeorgeLow Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 So I decided to try something wild for a change. Always loved the MINES concept and wanted to make a replica out of it. Some may love it whilst some may hate it. Would appreciate some kind comments. Gonna get her tuned with the new ECU this weekend. Cant wait. I apologise for the poor quality photos. Will get a proper shoot when there's time. 3 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462852-my-white-japanese-girlfriend-r33-build/#findComment-7690645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
