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 the interior of the r33 gtst looks abit out of date n i was wondering how much tat would cost me to change?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. :)

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
