I just bought my R33 GTS-T and its fairly awesome. I'm going to have the fluids changed but the mechanic might use some cheap oil. Anyone recommend anything which will help prolong engine life and performance?

Also, I'm currently running stock air box with a dirty K&N and want to change the filter but instead of changing the filter, should I buy a pod and box it off? Are there any shops which sell enclosures and cold air intake kits for R33's?

I feel the intake system could be a little restrictive as the box has been cut into from the top to make room for the intercooler piping and at the top front of the box for more air intake. This will draw in alot of warm air from the engine bay.

I need to get it tuned as it is running quite rich at the moment. Producing 240rwkw and with a tune and 16psi it could make 260rwkw.

Any info is much appreciated!

Just Jap, Unique Autosports and some others sell airboxes for pods, have a look in the for sale section or make your own. However a well setup stock airbox still works well, depends what your one is like.

    • Thanks Murray, appreciate the advice, a few things to think about now 😀 
    • After my million questions, I'll throw in my 2c now.  If I was in your shoes, I would buy the best/most modern ECU available. A Nexus S3 would fit the bill. It is highly likely that this ECU will last the life of the car, regardless of whatever ECU manufacturers develop in the future. Modern ECU's are amazing and will still be amazing in 10 or 20 years time. If you can get e85 relatively close to where you live, I would buy a flex sensor and size the injectors to run e85. I'd go a Walbro 525 fuel pump with relay wiring kit.  Turbo wise, I'd hit up HyperGear and get a pair of the biggest bolt on turbos.  Now for the safety side of things, I'd have the tuner setup the tune to be very soft/safe on 98. Then on the flex tune, a lot of the timing can be put back in on the top end (I'd run full boost on both tunes, but manipulate the power with the timing). This also has the benefit of hopefully delaying the, "bored now, need more boost" that comes with owning a modified turbo car. If you spend most of your time on the 98 tune, the few times your on e85 will hopefully stay special/fun.  The bad news. As your paying for labour and tuning, I don't think this will happen with $10,000. This might be the motivation to learn to do it yourself though, that way instead you'll have the built car and change from the $10,000
    • Cheers Duncan, on club reg and very much a weekender, don't drive it all that hard and don't intend to go overboard at any point in the future too. In my 40's and quite mature driver, just want that little bit more from it 😉 Sounds like, after ensuring everything is in good condition, ECU, Injectors, Fuel Pump and a set of turbos is likely to be my path forward. 
    • 15 years is not too long to hold onto something like that, right?
    • Hey man,   By any chance you still have sunroof for sale ?   Thanks
