need some advice about my r33

[Guest bigraver]

hey guys,

im new to this site and just recently picked up my r33 gtst and it feels pretty bloody good.

im still waiting on compliance plates b4 u can get RWC and rego but im already thinking about mods.

i just wanted to know if any of u guys can give me some advice about mods, namely bodykits and 17-18"ers. Ive only got a year left on my P plates and dont want to be pulled up for having anything im not supposed to. i already was pulled up driving it home from the compliace place.

anyway enough rambling...if anyone can help me out id be greatful

u realise body modifications will bring more attention to ur car compared to having stuff bolted on ur engine

[Guest bigraver]

yeah i know, but i want to put a gtr bodykit on it coz ive seen them around. i just dont want to go too out of my way to be noticeable for the cops

[doxximus]

its really all to ur own taste i mean some people will say get big ass chrome wheels, others will say wtf go get ****ed get normal human wheels, its just what u want to do, if u dont wanna be pulled over dont do anything stupid and u'll be right,

i dont know much about body mods, but i sugest you listen to a few different views as there always is...some people like to talk out of their ass and just spin shit just to sound like they know a lot, whereas some people actually know stuff!...do your reseach and save the heartache of doing things straight away.

police tend to pick on skylines that are noticably moded, and with P's, you're probably asking for trouble:(...but as dox said, it is your choice, and dont drive in a way that increases atraction

a mod that i would insist on(not loks either sorry)would be a 3" exhaust from the turbo...a cat back is good, but the bigger dump pipe does wonders for a skyline:D

[Guest bigraver]

wheres the best place in melb to get exhausts fitted? anyone know?

[sniffy]

hmmm...good question...i know this place in prahran is way too expensive(just around the corner from me) but if u ring around and get quotes.

or maybe a post titled "where to get exhaust installed" then call them up and get quotes that way!

If ur interested i have a set of momo sports that are fairly new that i want to sell.

First buy yourself a dump pipe with seperate pipe for wastegate and exhaust.

Dande enhaust will do you a 3inch from the dump pipe back with high flow cat for around $1200 for mild steel or $1600 for stainless steel. While doing that get the dump pipe fitted at the same time.

Thats just 1 mod, but theres sooooo many more u could do the list is endless!!

hahahahahha sorry. i suggest if you are on your p plates you leave the mods for a while. The car is still fun stock, if you do get an exhaust dont get one wich is too loud as your trying to be as inconspicuous(???) as you can for 1 more year.

inasnt seperate pipe for wastegate and exhaust. this has to do with swirling of gases or something???, im going to purchase one of these. I am assuming it would be good to get one made up at an exhaust place. I know you got urs sent. which would be better? and what was the cost again?

[sniffy]

get one that is already made up. there is a lot of power to be lost or gained in this area, and the bigger companies have put a lot of reaserch into the "flowing" and other factors...id pay the extra little bit!

Just make sure its under the legal limits. While some of the ones sound really cool, they might not be legal.. so take some time in considering different combos.
