R33 Gts To Gtst Conversion

[NUKEYA]

first of all, sorry if this is a repost.

anyway i'm getting an R33 GTS manual soon and want to do a turbo conversion later on.

just wanted to know wats the cheapest way of doing this. i know the best way to do this is probably getting a GTST front cut (i think). but is there a different and cheaper way.

appreciate any help.

I think you answered your own question

A front cut is the best option.. Also will mean you should get the front end hubs, discs, brakes to do the 5 stud and brake conversion, proper loom and ECU. Also if you get a manual cut, the right gearbox, clutch, all that, etc as well.

Then you just need the rear hubs/brakes and an LSD - and you should be done.

so how much does it cost to do this

check out the n/a section, theres a cheap way you can do it and run say 5psi and it should be ok you can engine swap or you can part swap to rb25det

one more question fellas, now i'm not backing out or having second thoughts or anything but is it worth doing this, i mean getting an NA R33, doing up the cosmetics part of it then when getting of ur Ps doing a turbo conversion and focusing on performance.

Id wait it out if your stuck on a turbo and get one when you can. Otherwise you will ultimately spend alot more then you would on simply getting a gts-t.

honestly i'm not that desperate to get a turbo, i mean i'd love to have one but i can settle for an NA and being still on my Ps i think i should. i'm not gonna be taking the car to tracks or anything just want something that looks and goes ok for daily driving and with the number of undercover cops around these days you can't get away with a drag race every now and then lol.

You may not be desperate to get a turbo now, but you will later.

Dont bother with a non turbo, just save your money and buy a GTS-t right from the word go. You will save money in the long run, and you wont have to regret buying the NA version of an already pretty heavy car.

[NUKEYA]

well it's either that or an NA 300zx and they're both kinda heavy but like i said i have to stick with NA for now.
