Quick simple question for everyone.

"Of all the mods performed to your car (maybe new suspension, exhaust, a set of wheels, stereo gear, even that monster tacho)

which has brought the biggest smile to your face???"

I may as well start off. My fav mod would be the splitfire coilpacks, as after 6 months of constant misfiring whenever the car hit boost, problem solved and for a mod that wouldnt increase the cars power, it gave me back a lot of missing power.

Interested to hear everyone elses fav's

(ps. purpose for this thread, secretly is to help sort the order my next group of mods)

ha, you luv your pod filter then spunky munky..., recently iv replaced the element in my HKS pod and its gone from the sucking sound (because the element was falling apart!) to a deep wurring sound like a ghost :) .

its not an expensive mod, more of a replacement but its something iv been happy with for under $50

apexi power fc..... due to its flexability and even tho the hand controller looks a little like an old gameboy its awesome to know exactly whats goin on with the engine: injector duty, boost, precise revs, precise temp and the list goes on! not a cheap mod but its payed itself off in 2 months in my eyes.

manual boost controller, gained an extra 15rwkw and a lot more response.

but i'll probably change my answer once the aftermarket ecu, injectors, high flow turbo go in :)

Removal of HICAS.

Some things are just not meant to be in existance.

lol.

For me it would have to be the HKS turbo, the increase in power and the awesome sound these things have always puts a smile on my face when coming onto boost.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
