I wouldn't bother with the gtst actuator....when they were sitting around for nothing they were worth it, but now days because lots of people do the change they are getting expensive. just buy a manual boost controller "bleed valve" instead. they are more adjustable and start at about $40.

If I had a road gtst (and I did or about 8 years), I'd keep it under 200kw. Bit of boost, maybe a computer (nistune or powerfc, haltec is double the price for no benefit on a basic setup). Definitely shocks, springs and swaybars (guy sydneykid's kit). And then enjoy it.....spend any money you had left on entering motorkhanas and track days :)

I'd dump the 12psi actuator in just for that little bit more of a gain. Hmmmm... Might just go for a nistune+tune and hope for a 210kw? Is that realistic?

Dont go the 12psi actuator unless you get an ecu. Or youll just end up in r&r

Theres always something you didnt think of or notice that needs fixing.

I think you should go the cheap option, you can always do more later.

One thing i noticed with having the bonnet open at the back, is that fumes come into the cabin.

The inlet for cabin air is in the plenum (under the front window) and because its a really bad idea to chop big holes in the firewall, its really the only place you can get fresh air into the cabin.

So i realize now, the vented bonnet i have is only good for racing, and i have to close the back of my bonnet, the best place to vent is in the front guards.

Like they said, cf isnt good in the sun, just go fibreglass, its not much heavier if at all. Many cf bits are just cf on the surface, fibreglass underneath.

Painting mirrors will cost NOTHING at all, i have plenty of black paint, and gold pearl powder if you want to play with that. Save it for the engine or computer.

And from my experience with my Nistune, i agree that more isnt better, smoother and more filled out is better.

Just remember, speed comes from the power delivered ALL through the rev range you use before changing gear. So a fatter curve is faster than a high peak.

Didn't think about the air venting business into cabin... that's an interesting thought. I think I won't go for cosmetic but might chase 210kw or so.Nistune and tune or something. Not sure if I want to chase 250kw just yet... gah the choices!!

Jeremy I'll take you for a cruise soon in my 33. Maybe this week some time?

Sitting in the airport now

KEEN MARINE! ! ! !

Hmmm... maybe. Haven't been since Mik last entered.

Need New Camera Practise. :D

Do eet! :D

Oh, cams licence expired, cant afford racing at the moment anyway.

Still would like to go for a look. :thumbsup:

Yes! I would like to see the beast in real life ;)

Last month I was out there and it was a little wet. Turbo Ovlov almost went into the tyres at the first chicane :wacko:

Yeah they are small that's for sure. They wouldn't even be comfy for a medium build person.

Picked up the r33 from storage. Took roughly half hour to get started and then puffed black smoke for a while but now it's perfectly fine. Put a fresh tank of fuel in and took it for a good spin.

    • I always wonder where the obsession with legal/illegal spacing on number plates in the UK comes from. Because it comes up in comments in every UK-based video I see on youtube. From my point of view all of your plates look a bit odd. Just because there are no markings whatsoever. In Australia we have the state that has to be on it. In Europe you get stamps and state logos. Yours look a bit like a throwaway draft that people then stuck with. And attached with blu tack so that it falls off at the slightest disturbance. Not trying to hate, but it's interesting how things are done in different countries. Do you have to follow a lettering convention when choosing a custom plate?
    • Hybrid sounds like a supercharger... It's half a turbo, with a belt to drive it! Oh wait, they're just called super chargers...
    • It's either an ignition failure or a fuel failure.
    • Before starting any work, we attempted to adjust the tune. However even after adjusting it to certain extremes like completely stopping fuel, it had no effect. What fixed it was removing the Nistune Board and installing the original EPROM instead. This immediately fixed the issue. Everything should have been fine with the Nistune Board installation, so I am unsure why it has caused a problem. The soldered connector is also properly soldered. This worked when I first got the 550cc injectors, before cleaning, but that may have been a coincidence.  We ended up not installing the fuel pump hanger (at least for now). So currently running stock injectors, stock fuel pump, stock fuel pump hanger – Well everything stock except the exhaust. Now I have around €1400 in Nistune, Injectors, and Hanger collecting dust for the time being, perhaps I'll install them in the future. For now I'll enjoy the car as is 😁 Thanks a lot for all your assistance, I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
    • The turbo can’t be the issue. They’re proven to make much much power than you’re making. There is something in the setup that isn’t correct. - has the exhaust got any silly step downs? - what exhaust manifold?
