Just had a flick thru a few copies I have

HPI Issue 21 "R33 tune"

HPI No24 "plug-in 33' stuff on LT12

Some stuff on peoples R33s and what they have done to them personally. Like in HPI No27.

Don't know if you can directly compare moding an R33GTs25t to a R34 GTt , but there project R34 articles are pretty interesting.

A few good articles on Autospeed as well.

Thanks guys!

It just makes interesting reading. I am a Hot 4s subscriber but there is never much "performance" type articles in there, and I can't remember ever seeing a Skyline in it! I just signed myself up for a subscription to HPI.

maybe thats coz Hot4s deal with 4cyl cars and the 'line has 6?

Modifing for safety! Now theres a topic we don't see every day.

Look for a thread titled 'how to volvo-ise your R33'

HPI aren't maybe the best people to go to for a 'safe' mod guide, given the R34 project that they killed the stock turbo on, by setting the boost too high on the AVCR (you would think since it was a relatively new R34 they would be more carefull).

I'd say starting a thread with an outline of your budget and performance desires would be a good start.

      Forced Performance Hta Turbos

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      R33 GTST Axles

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
