Question re upgrade path for R33

[Niss_Fan]

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.
