R33 New Owner

[jethead98]

Hi guys, fantastic forum, but being wet behind the ears and new to the skyline r33, can you tell me the best choices to make and in what sequence to start the modification process of my stock gts25t. Any ideas and help appreciated.

Congrats dude. Enjoy this fanf**kingtastic car you got.

I'd suggest you get used to the power you already have now and then think about mods. If you can't wait like most of us, go the exhaust (turbo back would be preferable) and pod filter first. This is assuming your car is stock standard which I doubt it is. I know you said that it is but hasn't it got a pod at least or something?

You might want to list what power you are intitially after and these guys might be better able to assist you. I say initially as once the bug has bitten there is no enough.

btw, you might want to state your budget too.

Good luck mate.

Under the bonnet l believe it is standard, the pod filter you talk about is a replacement for the air intake filter, yes. are these a kit item or do you make them up out of individual items. Does a pod filter add much noise to the inside of the car??

Welcome Jethead,

Good buy the Gts25t, When I first got mine, I wanted to power up safely and as reliable as possible. And I think most will agree with the first three mods that I did are just that:

1. zorst (turbo back)

2. pod filter (yes they're louder inside but its such a good sound)

3. boost controller (your running stock 5psi and you can go to 9-10 safely)

Those three mods should keep you going for a while.

Have fun

P.S. run optimax as well!

jet, i'd like a workshop manual too. i'd imagine they are very expensive though having to translate them and all. if you find a source let me know.

manuals@jpnz.co.nz will allow you to order a manual when the become available, R32's are completed, R33's are in translation as we speak. Hope they dont take too long....
