Thanks guys!

No NOS for me. Lowered suspension is in the pipeworks but dont want to lose the nice ride comfort, researching my options.

Yes Powder Coated, thats why the centre caps are missing, they are plastic and would have melted. I may spray them or just leave as-is. Still haven't decided fully on whether to leave it or put them on.

Is it American? Beats me, I have liked white wheels for a very looooooong time. I like the contrast against black, but wanted to see what other people think too!

Thanks Pushead - I got it done for free, would you believe?

A once off opportunity though - I dont think I can even get any others done...even at a cost...

You generally need to clean your wheels thoroughly and sand them back a bit - or have them sandblasted / paint stripped. The cleaner and more prepared the better they will turn out.

I cleaned mine with degreaser and gave them a quick sanding - they were already in pretty good nick though!

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears.

      Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P

      Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information

      What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....
