I would like to purchase an Intercooler and Full Exhaust kit for my R33 GTS-t. Does anyone have recommendations? I'm looking at spending around 3K for both (new). These components would also need to bolt strait on because I want to install them myself.

I heard the subzero stuff is ok?

What are all your thoughts?

not a bad budget dood for a zorst and intercooler.

depends if u want jap brand or custom made here.

new stuff like apexi or trust for the r33 i think r a cat back 3" system r about $1300, then you got a 3" hi-flow cat which is about $300, then a apexi 3" front pipe which is about $550, about $2100(all fitted). this is all preety expensive brand new, but second hand, right from the turbo back like trust or apexi your looking about $1000-1200.

something custom made here, a 3" off the turbo with a nice polished muffler, stainless steel right through, about $1500-2200

i think (fitted), im guessing less if not fitted.

try www.japanesemotorsport.com.au for second hand parts, they deliver OZ wide.

for the intercooler, well you might need a bigger budget if you want new from brands like trust or apexi. but second hand from them for a descent size like 600 x 300 with piping should be about $1500-$2500. if your on a budget, then id say go for a second hand GTR intercooler which is rated at 450hp, its 600 x 300 x 65, so its big enough, they are about $500-$700 bucks, then you have to go to a shop to make up the piping for you, mild steel is about 200 bucks or $300 bucks fitted(rough estimate), a bit more for aluminium, a better choice since this dont rust, plus looks a lot better.

if i were you, id buy a new cat back 3" exaust from apexi or trust for $1300, then go to an exaust place like Austalias best or liverpool exuast to get a new 3" hi-flow cat and a custom made 3" stainless steel front pipe. this should be about another 500 bucks, so $1800 (fitted)for the exaust.im sure it will be a bit cheaper if they are not fitting it for you.

since you have a budget of 3 grand, that leaves 1200 for the intercooler. i guess then id go for the second hand R33 GTR intercooler, try japanese motorsport or a wrecker for this, dont pay more than 700 for it, because they go for about 200 bucks in japan for a good condition one, then go to a place where they make intercooler piping and hoses, all this should be about $1000 bucks (fitted), again depending on how much you get the cooler for and what piping.

that = to about $2800 i think.

this is from my point of view, but do a little research b4 you buy.

also remember that prices vary from shop to shop.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
