Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this forum, although I've had my car for about a year now. It's my first car, although I had to wait an eternity to get it. I got it fresh off the boat from a dealer, had to wait a few weeks for him to get it complied and all. Its a 40th Anniversay R33 GTS-T, but thats about all I know about it. Its got a rear R33 GTR spoiler, but I can't seem to find many other specs on it. It's got an after market Blitz blow off valve, pod filter, and a Nismo 3 inch cat-back as well. I'm getting a GReddy turbo timer installed as I type :P , and as you can see from the pics I got blue LEDs put in near the feet. I plan to keep this car for the longrun, and want to spend money on it on further mods, BUT being a noob, I have no idea. I used to drive my parents tissue-box-on-wheels before this, so I really do not know much about cars, but I'm learning as I go along.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! I also wanna go on skyline runs with you guys!

Hopefully the pics get attached properly, please let me know what you guys think, and any suggestions are welcome.

Cheers!

First off welcome :P

As for info on the 40th anniv. model (I've got one myself) apart from the pillar badging, the seat badging and some extra available factory options, they're the same as any other S2 R33 albeit built in 1998 just before the R34's (or very late 97 for some).

As far as mods go, best place to start is always with the exhaust (power wise at least). You already have the cat back, so the next step would be a 3" dump/front pipe and a high flow cat which would complete the exhaust system and give you a nice gain in power.

From there depending on what path you want to take (or take first) you can go with an upgraded intercooler (R34 side mount if you don't plan to go much past 200rwkw, which the stock turbo will do) or a front mount if you plan to go further with an upgraded turbo etc...

There's plenty of mods to get good power, but don't neglect suspension, tires and brakes.

Have a good read through the various sections of the forum, and utilise the search function to find all the info you could ever want on your car and the different ways to go about modifying it :D

Congratulations on the purchase :D

Welcome to the forum mate, I also drive a 40th anniversary but in midnight purple. Your best to search the forums and do some reading on the first mods to do and just rock up to any cruises/meets/dinners in your area.

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.

      Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃

      You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
