Hi Guys/Girls

I have a 95 GTR VSpec.

It is completely stock - wheels, airbox, turbos, exhaust - everything.

Mechanic reckons he's never seen one not touched or in this condition. Has a verified 109K kms. Was imported to Australia with 40k kms in 2000 - so has been here for ages.

I'm torn between leaving it alone, and giving it a bit of a touch up with wheels, coil overs, turbos, dumps, downs, exhaust, ecu, fuel pump, coils, studs, intake, fmic & other associated bits and pieces for 350-400kw at the wheels..

R33's seem to be the ugly ducklings of the GTR world - and they are very slowly increasing in value - but probably not enough to be a true investment like a clean 32 or 34.

It's nice to drive as is - but everyone wants more power.

What would you do?

Garrett -7 or -9 Turbos

Full 3" or 3.5" Exhaust

Nistune or A'PEXi Power FC ECU or whatever your choice / mechanic can tune with

Cam Gears

Coilovers, Wheels and Tyres

Don't bother with Air Intake / Fuel Pump / FMIC / Dumps, stock is good for 300rwkW

Very few vehicles [cars, bikes, trucks etc] outlast a generation. So what was valuable in your time may be just another vehicle in 10-20 years. You see this all the time, everyone thinks they have an absolute desirable collectors item and they do while their generation is alive but as they get older and/or die out the next generation coming through aren't even remotely interested - well maybe a few, but not the majority.

So mod away!!!!

Any preference to single of twin? Will you be keeping the stock engine? What fuel?

I'd prefer not to have any RWC issues - but I live in the country - probably more of an issue once it comes time to move it on.

I'd like to keep the stock engine - if only from a cost perspective - and only 98ron is available here..

Get a 3.5" exhaust but don't get dumps?

What's the point of a bigger exhaust if you've still got a restriction up front...

If that's the case.

-5's

Bosch/ID 1000's

Walbro 400/460 in tank pump

Decent set of front pipes (none of this merging into 75 or 80 mm garbage)

3.5 inch exhaust (if not 4...) Get some mufflers made and have something fabbed up

Nismo coppermix twin plate

Whatever ECU you want

Keep factory airbox

Get some decent dumps (HPI 76 mm)

Quaife front diff if budget allows

Cause stock Dumps can handle the power of 300+ rwkW

I wouldn't push anything over 300 rwkW on a 20+ year old Stock RB26 ('95 model R33 GTR)

Unless rebuilt and you want 350 - 400 rwkW then yes, go upgraded Dumps

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
