Hi... I have just bought a 1996 R33 GTS series II...

Just wondering what the best mods might be to have it looking hot and running like a machine?

I bought it with the usuals... Rims, Exhaust, M-Spec kit, etc... Perhaps investing in some extractors might give it a big kick (from what I've heard?).

Any ideas of what to do next???

if it's got all that... not much... by "big kick" you're prolly talking 5 KW on an NA. I'd try computer before extractors. cheaper and easier.

Can u list some examples of computers fitted and tuned for less then 300bucks? extractors are not that expenive and are the best value for money upgrade for almost any NA.

unless they're proper tuned length extractors you probably won't see more than 5rwkw. plus you'll need a free flowing exhaust including a highflow cat. I'd stick it on the dyno with a computer first and give it a tune to see how much power it's making, then shop around for tuned length 4 into 1 set and retune after, bet you don't get much more power.

without the tune, just chucking a set of extractors in will do bugger all IMHO

Forget about all the heavy stuff you going to put on.

the best mod would be STRIPPING DOWN!!! yeap, loose all the padding, take all the interiror off,

take off rear seat off.

Loose tires...etc.

I bet you will shave off 3 second time for sure :D

YEAH! who needs a steering wheel...

will have to agree with the weight loss... instant power to weight ratio.

take in mind though - most of our cars are daily driven...

unless your like johnny and decide to go all out with the sound deadening...

Move to QLD, you can own anything here.

But keeping to the post POD, Exhaust, ECU, Tune should give you few extra KWs, but in my opinion keep it stock save your chash and when you get your opens get a GTS-t. Instant power increase.

cheers

you kidding yourself, chirs?

he even said he wanted to abide by the P-plater laws and can't afford insurance

plus he probably doesn't want to kill himself...

its not all about power, you know

Very True!!

I mean... How often do you find a 'Unique' Skyline... Very rare!

U know... All have very common features, and are very nice all the same, but if I was to have a turbo, it would be just like all the others... I honestly couldn't afford to make it unique.

I wont complain about what I have... I know its a common car, but I love it all the same... Turbo or not... Still a hot little car, minus some KWs, but hey, if it means me saving $k's per year, plus less maintenance, then I'm not complaining.

Cheers for all your input guys...! B)

Well he has to follow the rules since half the car available are black listed over there lol. Have i killed myself yet? let me check... nope... once and for all the power doesnt matter (i know your having a stab at me cuz i actually do have power), its the person who is behind the wheel.

A dickhead in a little bomb would be a worse driver than a guy with a level head with 1000HP car. Power has nothing to do with it.

but with great power......

...comes uber crap km per tank!!!111oneoneoneone

that said... a level headed driver in a 1000HP car will be more likely to have an accident than a level headed driver in a moderately powered car.

      I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.

      Ahhhh... If you were putting 12V to the led in there, that's likely made it very unhappy. Chances are how you put power, was 12V across an LED that's meant to only have about 20mA through it at peak, and a forward voltage of about 1.8 to 2.4 volts. That circuit is likely only a 3V3 circuit, and will have a resistor in series with the led too. That's my guesstimate on that light, without having touched one.

      Another vote for installing them and see how you go.  I mean, you already own them, why would you not fit them?

      I have had too many of those over the years, my cars have a toolkit or at minimum a cheapy multi tool thing because its too easy to be snookered by some stupid plastic clip that stops you checking the battery terminal isn't loose.

      Basically, if there is a part# on the nissan catalogue, it is a genuine part. There is a thing called "new old stock" which is stuff made years ago but never sold (or landfilled), but it is super hit and miss what you can buy. Other than some expensive Nismo stuff there is nothing new being made that suits these cars. The only time to be a little careful is (mostly in the US I think, but maybe Japan too), Nissan started rebranding some cheap crap maintenance parts like oil filters as "Pitworks"; stay away from them, if you are buying cheap just buy whatever the local car parts shop carries The three part numbers have an explanation on Amayama: 0V005 is auto, base style 0V015 is manual 0V505 is auto, hectic momo branded ones, maximum F&F points there!
