I just bought my first car, a '96 non-turbo r33 and i was wondering what minor engine and exhaust mods i can make to it for some performance and economy increases. Its basically stock with 18s' and a pod filter

Hey mate, i had a 97 NA a while ago, tried to do some tuning and found the best mods are:

stock airbox with panel filter, high flow cat with an exhaust if you like the sound and keep your maintenance up (oils, plugs etc)

jst as a downer, i pop'd in a unichip and dyno tune to push out 78awkw which was quite dissapointing but tuning does pick up about 10kw in the low to midrange area if you have the cash to spend.

Welcome to eeiko321's world.

GTS / GTS-T hater! No mater what model.

:dry:

For a 1st mod for a R33 GTS, I would go modified extractors, full 2.25" exhaust with high flow cat.

Leave it as that, or you can go cam gears, cams and internals but I would rather save the cash for buying a turbo model.

Upgrade your springs / fully adjustable suspension would help with handling.

you should bolt on a turbo. seccond hand parts go for a bargin te days

I can say it is not that simple and there is a lot of work involved.

When you add one thing to the car to all leads on to the next.

Best sell the N/A and buy a turbo.

Point was made earlier in the thread (wihout resorting to insulting anyones car, no less.)

The most likely reason that this person wants a lil more out of their NA...is not because they prefer the GTS to GTST or GTR...but for legal reasons. P-plate laws are harsh.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
