Hi guys,

I am in need of some sound advice from those that have already gone down the upgrade road...

I have a r33 1997 v spec gtr with;

power fc

Profec B elect boost

Custom hi flow cat and exhaust

Pods

I have just brought:

HKS Adjustable cam gears

Garrett -5 (n1 style)turbos

Trust front pipe

I need to know if it is vital to purchase injectors, fuel pump, fuel reg? Anything else i forgot? From what I can gather dumps will be ok at this setup and possibly pumps etc...

The car will get full install from powerplay - sydney, and then dyno tuned. Looking for more responsive car good power.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers

definitely get injectors, fuel pump and reg not THAT necessary as long as its a safe tune. But the question is how much power do you want?

And if i got adjustable cam gears i would definitely want to do a fuel pump and reg to get the most out of the car.

Thanks, Any particular type of injectors and pump? I am being told only nismo for both?

talk to your tuner before you go buying anything mate , if theyr'e any good they will be able to tell you what will be necessary :P . note: i've noticed that alot of people don't stop and think about the smaller servicable items on this site (i.e oxy sensor , fuel filter, temp sensor etc) , before you go trying to upgrade your engine have a think about the last time these were changed and whether it might be a good time to do so :P

640 or are they 660 cc nismos would do the job for stock bottom end safe power, fuel pimp definately, those turbos are good for more than you will want to safely throw down the stock motors throat but afms (if u did not go djet) would limit gains I think to 300rwkw,so may want to consider z32 or equiv.

I would also consider catch can and cam cover baffles.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
