Hey All,

I was wondering on what i could do to my R33 to get a fair bit of Power out of it,

I was thinking of upgrading all the internals and the turbo and all that mumbo jumbo stuff ( Sorry im more or less mechanic Illiterate :( ) I have a bit to spend on the car so it doesnt really phase me all in all just not too over the top.

My thinking was maybe a T70 turbo as a turbo but you guys might say something more suited for the car Also i will need a new ECU as well which one would be the best for an R33 (Gtst). I would also like to know where the best places are in Tassie to get all the upgrades done! Also thanks for the imput so far guys...

Yea sorry people its a manual its got a 3" exhast already with blitz intercooler blitz Bov, ive got a turbo timer but no Boost controller. with 19 " rims.

Yeah mate, Im not sure i guess im after a little bit of power lol. maybe say round 300Kws maybe.. also id like to do a bit of everything in the car (club/track) yeah it isnt really a daily driven car but kinda is if you know what i mean :)..

hmmm if you are serious about it, I suggest you go to the mainland to get it done. I've been to most places in launie and am yet to have a good experience.

or bring it down south and we will do it :P

How's the car coming along champ, you any closer to having it back on the road?

I leave the state in 13 days and am meant to be doing leavers dinners next week, and nothing has been touched in the last 2 weeks and am meant to of had it back 3 times now. not exactly happy.

I know the feeling mate when it comes to waiting, but affraid the only person that i can realy blame this time is myself and not being motivated enough to get it done <_<

Hope the beast turns up ready in time for ya :)

Cheers B

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
