Hey all,

Long time member, very short term owner!! Just bought a 95 r33 GTST with just a Apexi 3 inch full exhaust and a blitz FMIC.

My question being, what kind of mods should i go for first to get the most bang for my buck?? i want to follow these criteria:

Reliability - This is my daily driver so i want to make sure i can rely on it everyday (MOST IMPORTANT) I dont really want to dial the boost up too much if at all (solely for the sake of reliability)

Cost Effectiveness - I dont have bags of Deniros so im trying to find the best mods for the best prices.

Kamikazekid (justin) has been helping me a lot, so ive got a fair idea, but id like to get a few other peoples opinions :( Thanks!!

First mod im thinking of is a K&N panel filter, then safc. What do you guys reckon??

My goal in the end is 200rwkw, what kind of mods am i looking at to get that kind of power everyday safely??

And finally, what would be the highest amount of boost you could run through a stock r33 turbo safely on a daily basis??

Thanks heaps guys!!!!

I would recommend

- highflow panel filter (K&N or Apexi) $70

- EBC - Greddy Profec B $400 approx

- SAFC/ E-manage or preferrable 2nd hand Power FC (if you can find one) - $250-1000

- possibly fuel pump (Walbro/Bosch 040/Nismo/Denso?Tomei etc) $160-$400 - you don't want the stock one to fail and lean at higher revs which could cause engine failure

From there I would look at suspension, wheels and tyres so that your car will handle better to take advantage of extra power.

Depending on how you drive it, you may want to start saving for a HD clutch also.

Otherwise good luck and enjoy your ride - they are great cars!

well with RB25's its not so hard to get 200rwkw on 10 or 11 psi......all you need is:

* Full exhaust system - i mean dump pipe, highflow cat and all

* Front Mount Intercooler - which i think you already have

* K&N high flow air filter

* If you still have factory ECU - get it well tuned out

* Z32 Air Flow Meter - these are easier to tune with and are straight bolt ons

and my friend your looking to make 200+rwkw.......stock turbos can handle 14 psi (1 bar) but not recommended for daily use.....maybe a just for a little bit of thrashing once in a while

      What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

      My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered

      No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
