Hi Guys

Been browsing and reading for the last couple of months on things to do to my stock R33 and I think I'm nearly finished and prepared to start spending.

I however did want to get some approval on my plans or some negative feedback if I'm heading down the wrong path.

My goals at the present time are around the 280-300rwkw area as i would like to leave the internals alone at the moment.

The parts I've purchased so far are Apexi PFC, Z32 AFM, HKS Type S FMIC and I'm booked in to drop a manual box in in the next couple of weeks.

The other parts that I was looking at and need advice on are:

  • Turbo - 3037 with the external wastegate, I was looking at a .73 A/R as it will be a street driven car and from the information I've read this would be a compromise between peak power and spool up time?? Correct me if I'm wrong with any assumptions i make in this thread >_< . Now the trim i would love someone to give me their choice and reason.
  • Manifold - High mount Extreme Turbo Manifold and I think this includes the single dump??
  • Wastegate - Was looking at the HKS GTII 50mm. Good brand, small in size and looks pretty :D yay, nay?
  • Injectors - Either NISMO or HKS 550cc. I can't see there being a problem in either of those brands?
  • Fuel pump - Tomei kit. Heard these are a treat of a pump and won't fail on me.
  • Boost controller - Apexi AVC-R. Don't think I'll have any objections from this.
  • Splitfire coils
  • Tomei pon cams
  • Exhaust - Need to decide on the manifold before buying this??

If I've forgotten any important part please e-bash me :D

Thank you if you could be bothered reading this... and even bigger thank you for some advice!! :D

I'm surprised you didn't list that you want a front mount intercooler, but you'll need one of these. A JustJap kit should be fine?

Edit: My bad. You did say you've got one ><

nismo injectors are good for your tuner, perhaps consider 740s. talk to the guy you want to tune it.

tomei fuel pump is the easiest possible install and quiet as the stock pump. I just installed one and i'm very happy after having a bosch 040 for a few months.

if you get an apexi avcr, you may as well just get the power fc boost control kit off nengun, they are very similar in performance. i would recomend a blitz unit.

i will leave the rest for everyoine else to fight over >_<

    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
    • OK, so the weight has been bugging because it was really low. I did it again today and got a more believable answer at 1246 without driver And with a 93kg driver I'm pretty sure the car was still slightly on the quickjack last time meaning the full weight was not on the scales
