Ok now i know ull say search but alot of things goes over my head.

Im about to spend a bit of cash on my GTR and im just after a little advice on wheather im doing the right thing or not and getting the best bang for my buck.

I have a GTR R33

Mods

Trust intercooler

3 1/2 Kakimoto 06&R cat back system

Just Jap front pipe

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

Blitz PODS

Oil Catch Can

Now im thinking (Ive read and have thought these sounded the best for price) of getting these

Power FC and Controller $ 796

Greddy PRofec B Spec II $ 336

HKS Cam Gears $ 324

Total $1456

Plus tune of course.

Would that all go well together??? Any thing you would change etc....

Advice would be great!

HKS recalled their soft c.gears yeeears ago. (5+) The outer gear ring is made from Duralium now. Besides their gaudy too ne- way :D The OS G gears were cheap, but with the dollar, all the Trust / Tomie ones, seem to be around the same'ish price now. I would think c.gear choice is fairly a muchness.

How many Km's has it done? Before boosting, pulling fuel out, and ignition in, you should preform basic maintenance as above.

N1 Steel Turbos (believed)

... and i wouldn't do shite, till you confirm you have steel wheels.

If you have steel wheel turbos even better and a good idea to get some cams along the way.

Jump onto a set of Tomei type A cams. 260 intake and 256 exhaust. Big gains to be had.

Even on stock GTR turbo's, they smack the stock cams even with adjustments, as I have proven on my old GTR with the Tomei 260's.

Go out with a torch and try view the serial numbers located between the turbos housings (on the rusty looking center core) jot down anything you can see.

normal Power fc, and boost controller are always going to be a good start.

i think you'd get that figure your after with just them if the turbos are what you believe them to be.

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
