Thanks man Ill get some pics up of engine although its pretty stock looking at the moment just chucked some pods on. The cannon is actually a HKS catback which I just left on the car didnt really see the need for changing it, I might get some twin tips in the future.

I'll PM ya what I paid for it.

Hi Leigh, I really like what you've done so far very tasteful mods. I'm currently doing the same to mine, got the bc coilovers on order, and like u I also have to fix my front lip and instrument cluster really annoying having the rev meter bouncing all over the place. Where did u get the carbon fibre wing blade from, psi parts? And are they also the carbon fibre inserts that are from psi parts as well? Been thinking of getting these myself.

Look forward to seeing ur future mods, nice work!

Nice work mate!

Good luck with it!

Lovely ride and very nice night shot!

The rear of the R33 is what really sets the car apart from the other Skylines. Far more 'muscular' than the R34, I reckon (not bagging R34 owners - just expressing a personal opinion).

Looking forward to read future updates, so I hope you keep this thread updated.

Seen this thing around the area looks tough (great wheel choice) & clean.

Good to see an R33 in great shape, these days that's rare to see.

Thanks for all the nice comments guys

Wow its been a while since I have updated this, reason being is that I'm currently unemployed and cant afford to blow any money on the car so PFC and cam gears still sitting on the desk here, looking up turbo upgrades / options as well. They will go on as soon as I start earning some cash again as well as some canards and slightly lower it a bit more.

Until then I'll leave you guys with a pic or two (only change is new front clear indicators) :

loving the build mate. Hope you get some work soon so we continue to see progress!

[mattlikewhoa]

I hope you find something so you can continue modding

[UNR33L]

So its been a few months and no update, sorry about that guys

Put some splitfire coilpacks and new plugs in:

And cars going in on Monday for 100k service at local workshop Racepace so in good hands I hope , cam gears to be fitted and ran on the dyno and will also be upping the boost a bit on the standard turbos.

Got the car back from Racepace after doing the 100k service, they did notice the rear rotors and pads needed to be replaced so they put some DBA 4000 series on and Fedoro racing pads. They threw the Tomei cam gears on at the same time as well and modified the standard solenoid a bit to allow 1-2 extra PSI through.

Made 233.5kw with just the exhaust / cam gears and a little boost:

And the new rear rotors:

Will be doing the fronts soon enough as well.

As you can see by the dyno sheet the car is making good power its just a little lazy, Chris said turbos could be high flowed or intercooler may have a small crack or something somewhere as they tested the usual suspects such as BOVs holding pressure and wastegates working as intended - both tests we ok he said so thinking it could be somewhere within the intercooler itself. Will be all upgraded eventually anyways, for now still making decent power considering.
