im considering on buying a new car..either a wrx or a r33 gtst...

id alwaiz loved r33s but i also like the wrx coz they r 4 doors n look more new..

but im sorta leaning towards the r33 n stick to my dream car...

but i have a few questions

1. if i was to buy a stock r33 gtst, how much m i looking at to spend on small mods like front mount, BOV, body kits, Exh, etc...just minor mods to make it look good n run alright...

2. the interior of the r33 gtst looks abit out of date n i was wondering how much tat would cost me to change? maybe just new bucket seats, new deck, wheel, gear nob, n if possible i want to change the dash (i can change the dash n roughly how much would it cost me?)

my bugdet all up is around the 26k mark

think its possible for me to do this with tat amount? n if so, what should i get n prices..

thanks

Peter

Don't buy a stock GTST you can buy one on these forums with lots of modifications.

I personaly wouldn't bother with the interior I'd make the exterior and interior look stock with lots of engine modifications - Sleeper, but if you must!

New deck - $600 For a half decent one.

Speakers - $300 depends no what you want and can afford.

Nismo 320k Dash - $1000 or you can just get the speedo change for around $450

Gear Nob - $100 also depends on what style you want

New seats - Ranging from $1000 - $3000 ?

but if your going to buy a stock gtst.

Front mount - $1500

3" Exhaust - $800

Boost controler - Turbosmart manual one - $90 or electronic b/c can rang from $500 through to $1000

3" Dumpipe - $400

Body kit - depends on what you want. GTR front bars are around $500

Rims - at least $1500 for a decent set

Boost guage - $100

Pod filter - $100

Try and get a car with the basic suspension, exhaust, Pod's and Mags as it will make things so much easier so you can spend money on other modifications in the long run. :)

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
