Hi guyz i just purchased a silver 1996 R33 GTsT,66,000 genuine kms, stock as a rock with 19" wheels.

What do you recomend to be the first upgrade? i am new to the turbo sean, and i am getting a 3 point alarm and turbo timer fitted.

Should i intercool, bigger turbo, internal engine mods........

or stay with stock and go body kit, suspention?

also do you guyz know of a preformance shop that covers all base's in sydney, near cambeltown/liverpool.

cheers for all the help.

just drive the car for awhile as it is, get a good feel for it, then try make it faster if u want.

ALARM FIRST!

then start with full exhaust , hi flowing panel filter with cold air intake, boost controller and then it starts to get expensive :( also there is a guy on these forums who remaps standard ecus for better performance. i think his name is toshi or something.

enjoy

cheers fella's, we already have the insurance sorted, must me somthing about the word Import and insurance companys all of a sudden have doller signs in there eyes!!!

and alarm is going in tomorrow!!!!

but i curently drive a ford BA FPV GT-P and am selling it, but the skyline is for the fiance, but after driving the GT-P the skyline is really slow!!! so the next best thing MAKE IT FASTER LoL

does any one know of a performance shop around liverpool/cambeltown?

Eaisest would be a K&N high flow airfilter.

I wouldn't bother with pods and cold air induction kits, it's already a cold air induction as is.

A nice $100..to easy :cheers:

...for starters anyway....hehe

And the best advice without a doubt is to keep searching and reading and re-reading these forums. It's the best for learning all sorts of stuff

Some people even do stuff for you for a case of beer !

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
