I've been told by an exhaust workshop that the difference between a single 3" dump pipe and the split dump pipe is minimal, roughly about 3kw gain (they could have told me otherwise just to make money out of me buying the split pipe)

I just dont see how couple hundred dollars extra could justify getting the split dump comparing to the gain from the single pipe (3" here). Of course if you could get a better deal from a workshop having the full system installed with the split dump then that might be alright.

If you have not done turbo back exhaust yet, then I would do that before doing a FMIC.

I put on the justjap cooler.

Now pushing a solid 0.7 bar up to red line.

With the justjap intercooler did you notice a loud noise while on boost. I am worried that the noise is indicating a lack of flow. I am also a little nervous that i have done something wrong (ie connected the vacume line to the wrong place).

I'd say speak with BATMBL on these forums for all your dump, front pipe and CAT needs.

good price and quality.

the just jap non branded hybrid style intercooler kits are a bargain and will work perfectly on your R33.

I doubt very much that any $2000 intercooler kit from ARC or hks or what ever will give you ANY different outcome than the non branded kit.

for the $1000 you save on that, you could get a POWER FC to make full use of your car's new found breathing ability.

      Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW )

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
