There is a great "group buy" for springs, shocks etc all set up for an R33. If you have the cash this would be the way to go.

The shocks/spring are dead easy to remove, jack the car up to remove most of the load on the springs; undo the nuts at the top and the bolt at the bottom, jack it up a bit further and it will fall out.

Repeat in reverse to reassemble.

There are plenty of good front mouns for sale (new and second hand) as a minimum get a GTR unit, or the Hybrid units are quite good. Make sure it includes all pipes and silicon joiners (between $500 and $1000)

Boos t needs to be kept a lot lower than 20psi unless you change the turbo. I wouldnt worry to much about 12psi, but 14psi for any length of time can be a great way to get a new turbo. To help you here make sure you get a good bleed valve and ensure boost dosnt creep too high under load, or better still get an electronic boost controller.

If you want to run 20psi with any turbo you will need to upgrade your fuel asystem as well (pump and injectors)

PS you will need a new ECU to make the most out of your mods. Most people recommend a Power FC, but there are others.

Hope this helps.

thanks allot that dose help me a bit cheers

hey i ran 1bar (14.5psi) of boost through a standard RB25 turbo on my RB20 for about a year and a half day in day out, and the car got thrashed and drifted pretty much evryday and the turbo only recently gave up at last drift practice, but didnt go bang, just the seal got farked. But you can run up to 13psi pretty safely on those turbos, any more than that and u do it at ur own risk. might last u over a year like mine or might go bang the next day :)

    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
