TUFF_350 Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Hey guys, currently only have a stockie '96 R33 S2 M-Spec but having gone from a 98 Honda Accord immediately felt the power difference in every aspect. Now after only a month im used to it and it just feels like any old car...time for upgrades i think first was thinking of turbo back exhaust, if done right apparently you can pick up anywhere in between 20-30rkws! This would make a significant improvement and secondly FMIC. What are your opinions? Thanks in advance!

Nismo_God Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 you have the right mod first, plenty of power is gained from a good exhaust. i went from 144 to 169rwkw with a split dump pipe, 3" system and 5" cat. thats your best option to start with. them fmic and boost, then next level ecu, injectors, pump, turbo, clutch etc etc...

4door_Sleeper Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 You do get used to the power, mine only feels faster after I've been driving the 4x4 for a week then take the skyline for a spin on the weekend. You can NEVER have too much power. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161436-more-power/#findComment-2998883 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinistaGTR Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 yeh when i had 254 before i blew it up it felt slow....but now 12months later 200kw @6psi lol feels fast but getting tuned for 18 next week....make sure you do your mods in stages so that you get the feel for the car at each power level, i know dudes that went bang heres 15k on mods 12 months later there bored again. rather than do it slow and have more fun Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161436-more-power/#findComment-2998896 Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage GTR Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Watch out for the power bug LOL I went from 199rwk's to 260 and then 292rw's. Now that even feels slow, until you line up a crapy comodore. LOL As a few of the guy's said before though, the more often you drive it , the less spectacular it feels. I ownly drive my GTR 1-2 times a week now and get more pleasure from driving it . Damm beats the 1.6 laser wagon. LOL 8 months of withdrawal though waiting for the new clutch. Now its back on the road , Im in heaven. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/161436-more-power/#findComment-3001009 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjandriesen Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Keep in mind the other alternative to make it fun is to make it perform better overall e.g not just more speed but better handling and stopping as well. Great to go fast in a straight line but feeling what it can do through the twisties is a great rush as well.
