Hi guys. I am pretty new here but have been reading the forums for about a month. I am picking up my R33 on the weekend and have a few plans based on many of your comments on this forum. Just wanted the check to see what you guys think.

Ok so far the car has the following mods:

Nismo cat back exhaust

Pod filter

GTR Fuel pump

GTR Injectors

Car has never been boosted and remains factory for everything else.

I plan on adding these items right away:

Finish exhaust by getting dump pipe and hi-flow cat

FMIC

Dyno tune

Going to order a PFC and boost controller. Is it a good idea to get a new air flow meter while at it? If so what do you recomend. I saw on negun's site he has Tomei AFM adapter for a z32 for only $25. Would this suffice?

Thanks for any replies guys and looking forward to being part of the community.

My suggestions follow, not in any particular order;

*Z32 AFM not required until turbo upgraded.

*R32/33 GTR injectors are top feed low impedance and R33 GTST injectors are side feed high impedance. So I would check that carefully when you have the car.

*Dyno check is a good idea but not much to "tune" with std ECU

Hope that helps :wavey:

Thanks Sydneykid.  Hmm will check what injecters are actually in it when I get it.  Sorry for my ignorance but should the GTR injecters work in the GTST?

Basically, no - they are of a completely different configuration... it is highly unlikely you have them unless you have a custom plenum or at least some kind of custom fuel rail adapted to your factory plenum/inlet manifold.

    • GTSboy, thank you again. i’ve been reading all the other SAU RB25 vacuum line threads and you have the utmost patience for people asking “where do my vacuum lines go”. it’s appreciated. i did also enlist a few other RB guys local to me.  i would like to run 5 to 4. turbo pressure side to wastegate actuator. i would like to run 3 to 1. power steering air valve line to intercooler outlet. (this is how it was previously). i was told 2 is the bleed port for the boost solenoid - which i’m not running - so should be capped.   anyone see any problems with that?    
    • So yes. All of them. Something like 98% of all fuel in the USA has 10% ethanol: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/ethanol-fuel-basics It's labelled as like, AKI, 87, 91, 93 with an E10 or E5 or E15 label on the pump. At a certain point, it's not just "E10" instead of 91. It is 91, 95, 98, and all of them have 10% Ethanol in them. You can also get E85 and E30 which is why you do see some people rolling around with E30 tunes in them.
    • Thanks for the response. This is an 04 EP3 Type R. JDM spec. Fairly certain they're just basic BC racing coils. I do plan to keep as the ride quality on stock I've been told is pretty meh given Sydney roads. If I were to go down that avenue, does NSW require them to be a certain spec (close to original) etc?
    • Should have asked what is the car?
    • I've had two super conflicting experiences with blue slips. My 30 year old E39 waltzed through with no issues but my brother in law was knocked back on 12 y/o 3 series due to wiper blades and some cracking in a control arm bush.  What kind of coil overs? Do you want to keep them after?  If it was me I'd get some dirt cheap shocks and springs from eBay or scumtree. Not ideal but will get you over the line and might even be less than $1k.
