Dump and front pipe and large Cat (if not included in the "kakimoto exhaust")

or

SAFC NEO would fit in the under $1100 catagory installed and tuned.

or

Some new Shock absorbers to replace the dead old ones which have further been killed by the lowered springs.

What he said if your looking at more power.

Also look into some steel braided brake lines, new fluid and good pads (makes the brakes fell new again), or perhaps some new suspension bushes/shock/springs/swaybars to get it driving really nice.

If you have thoughts of putting a FMIC on, do it before you do the SAFC, you'll only have to retune afterwards otherwise.

Also, boost it up before you get it tuned (Boost to a happy level, around 10PSi should be plenty)

Then tune it.

Stock intercooler is a restrictive piece of junk that doesn't really cool anything down (Good at heat soaking)

So really, no, I wouldn't be calling it safe.

With exhaust, FMIC, boost and tune, the car will be TOTALLY different for you.

FMIC kit is like $300 - $400

Fit yourself.

Get a boost controller, (Those $22 ones are great!)

Then get a second hand SAFC2 and tune it.

All for under $1100 if you do stuff yourself (Dyno it to tune it though)

FMIC for $400 involves cuttong a hole in the chassis, trimming the fan blades, cutting the front bar and it's support.

$150 R34 GTT side mounted stock intercooler is bigger than the R33 one in each direction, yet is a straight swap (bit tight but still straight swap).

it has been proven number of times to be good for cooling and flow for around 220rwkw.

your stock turbo will not do any more than that anyway.

$150.

remove some hose clamps, remove some bolts, remove old intercooker, then reverse the steps with new intercooler.

ALSO, SAFC will be tuned on a dyno.

that is when I would increase the boost. not before.

better safe than sorry.

strap the car on.

increase boost to 10psi, dyno run, get result.

then the tuner goes and makes the adjustments and runs it again, then same step over and over to find the best compromise.

expect around 190-200kw

Then post a thread on here about your result so everyone can take out there online penises and compare. :w00t:

LOL @ online penises.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
