R33 GTR Build

[F71CK]

I joined this group years ago when I got my hands on an R33 GTS-T and was excited to get some mods on it. Unfortunately, I had to do the adult thing and sell it to buy a house. Fast-forward six years later, and I have been blessed to be in a position to buy an R33 GTR next year.

 

I am getting close to buying my dream car, I would like to get the community's advice on modifications. I have researched mods in the past but I feel newer and better things have come out since then (2018). 

 

Goals: I would like to have a 400-500hp daily driver. I would also like to get the engine dressed up (Wire tucks, rocker cover pain etc etc). I would also like to use it for track days but more for fun rather than competitions.

 

I am moving to Brisbane, Australia so any good mod garage recommendations in the area would be appreciated.

I would be doing the build in stages (I don't have money to do it in one go).

Big sump with a quaife front diff should be you’re first modifications 

big sump will keep the engine alive and quaife front diff will transform how it handles

500hp/375kw is very achievable/ not extreme. Depending whether you want a traditional or modified look you would go larger twins (but they would be laggy) or a single/twin scroll turbo.  Potentially with some extra capacity like rb30.

For daily driving the considerations would be keeping the air con, using an electronic throttle for driveability and not going too hard on the shocks/springs.

Around that power level the gearbox can start being a problem but that kind of depends how nice you are to it; some people kill them and have to go to something less friendly, others don't have issues.
