I finally get my first beloved R33 GTS-T this Sunday 20/02/2005!!

I've researched this for nearly 2 years and have finally bought a 1997 model in black with 43,000km, a sports muffler and a set of ADVAN 17's. Other than that it's totally stock. I have my ideas on what I would like do to modify it, but,

WHAT DO YOU GUYS RECOMMEND???

Keep in mind its a daily driver and I'm not interested in allout power for the dragstrip.

I was thinking:

1. Power FC

2. FMIC

3. EXHAUST

4. POD FILTER

5. DUAL STAGE BOOST

6. NEW TURBO

What order first??

congratulations!! 2 years...holy crap..no wonder you're excited :)

and I agree with above...def zorst and filter first...let her breathe..

I was thinking that if i tuned a power fc while standard first it would improve fuel economy and give it extra power. then i could tune it whenever i add more mods.

THANKS TO EVERYBODY FOR HELPING ME OUT!!! :D

This is what order I did and I recently(2 days ago) got 208.2rwkw at the wheels on 9.6psi.

3 zorst

4 pod with CAI box

1 power fc and tune

2 front mount

5 EBC & tuned. ( I did 2 & 5 together and tuning 2 days ago)

This is with a stock turbo, clutch, AFM, shocks/suspension/etc...

If you decide to go with larger turbo you should strongly consider the other mods aswell.

I will be doing my handling, braking, clutch, AFM and also cams and cam gear before upgrading my turbo.

After this I should reach my goal of 250rwkw :)

good luck :P

If you're going for a daily driver, and not on the strip, do you really need the new turbo?

I would mainly want to upgrade to a new turbo for a stronger, more reliable ball bearing turbo with steel impellers, I've heard that the standards cant be pushed safely, thats all.

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
