Hey guys and gals! I'm Gideon, pretty new to the forum. Picked up my 33 almost 2 months ago now and absolutely love it! Thought I better start a build thread before shit starts getting hectic :D

Picked it up for $6500 with a couple months rego, 132,000kms, I'm the 3rd owner in aus, few basic mods (FMIC, pod, exhaust).

The night I picked her up :)

Gave her a bit of a clean and took a couple pics with a half decent camera!

First week I had her I picked up a second hand set of pedders coilovers for $550!

I fitted them up along with some adjustable cambers arms all round... This was basically the end result. Got guards rolled, 245 rear tyres and wheel alignment and another 10mm dropped in the rear.

Went out and took a few more pics with new stance :D

Next mod was a Greddy Profec EBC! Installed her in a stealthy spot (boost gauge was mounted here by previous owner :S). Wound the boost up to 9-10pound (was hitting R&R with anymore) and was a heap better!

Then Picked up some Highflowed 550cc Injectors (Sold to me as Nismo 740s........). Still ok for what I wanted but not the point. Got them cleaned, rebuilt and flow tested!

Rear Hicas joints were fkd so thought I might as well just totally eliminate the Hicas system from the rear end and bought these. Still need to get around to putting them in when I can be bothered...

Was looking for a split dump for a while and then this came up for $100 so had to jump on it! Installed that and noticed a bit more low-mid range torque.

IMG_20160419_31209_zpsiaaoi0ra.jpg

Ordered these off ebay and got the trim colour matched! Turned out sweeeet!

Then this is where the good stuff started :D Picked up this bad boy for $1000 with lines and dump pipe! GT3076R EWG .82 rear....

Gave her a much needed service and threw the green shiz I got with the car when I bought it on! Doesn't look too bad...

Couldn't resist doing this....

That's all for now, but I have a CRG Highmount coming in the next few weeks, picking up a Turbosmart Hypergate 45 Thursday, ordering fuel pump and z32 AFM Plug next week then should be almost ready to go into the shop for a nistune and dyno tune!

Cheers Sinista! Really happy with it, can't wait to get the turbo on and tuned!

When he wrapped it around a pole after the drags.... Lucky he is alive. You can only see the clutch pedal..

  • 2 weeks later...

Little update, mani should be here this week, got myself some YJ's and popped em in. Did a comp test while i was in there too. Bit sketchy but all above board. Tested 170-170-170-155-160-155

awwwwwwwwwwwwww.... why did you get YJ?

They're ok as stock replacements, but once you start feeding boost and more dwell into the coils you end up with issues.

Only paid $150 for em ;) Guy I bought em off was running 300rwkw at 18.5psi so we will see how they go. If they can't keep up then I'll just sell em and get 2 more splitfires to complete my set.....

Still waiting on my mani from CRG... Almost been a month now, they have said it will be out their door on Tuesday latest. Then gotta throw mani and turbo on and customize my dump to suit new gate then send them off the be ceramic coated :)

Been talking with my tuner and decided to f**k the AFM off and go a HPX MAF with the Nistune, that way I'll be able to run a 4" intake as well. Need to find someone cheap to fab that up and also a new crossover pipe so it doesn't obstruct that high mount :D Tuner quoted me about $350-400 to do the 4" intake and weld the MAF bung on, need to get a price on the crossover pipe still.

I've also sold my 550cc side feeds and going straight up 1000cc Bosch EV14s with a Raceworks Billet Rail and Tomei Reg. Anyone know where to get some cheap plugs for the injectors?

nice man!

ever though about Plazmaman intercooler piping kit? (I can do better prices than directly with Plaz)

https://plazmaman.com/shop_itemdetail.php?itemid=153&cate=73

I run the same kit on my car, however no BOV at all.

In terms of plugs, try these guys:

or eBay US

Yeah I have but I'm not getting a new piping kit when I've already got one just need the crossover done. I won't be running a BOV either but tuner said it might cause stalling issue which was another reason for going the HPX MAF.

Yeah looks like I can get em cheaper locally. $45 for a set of 6.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
