Good thing about the trust kit is you can bolt it up .. comes with *everything*.. the little brackets, screws, even a replacement washer bottle if used in conjunction with their front plenum.

Guy in melb did it in one night and about as mechanically minded as me (not much).. so install is 0 dollar

Well I have a definite roadmap to follow, but after having a good look at R33 GTR prices lately I am thinking of maybe abandoning the project and investing (if such a word can be applied to cars) in the GTR

yeah.. definitely -- if you have money to spend may as well put it to a GTR.

With me as my car came with most mods at a price not too much more than your "average" gts-t.. i saved a heap there.. but to be honest now I could install what is on my car myself so i guess that takes a lot of it out. The costs of labour on some performance items is a bit of a joke to be honest.

Everything i get somebody else to do something i get stung, i get angry and vow the next thing i am doing myself :rofl:

well there is always buy an m3 a couple of years old.. s2000 .. lots of nice cars out there now a few years old for under or around $50k :rofl:

GTR aren't the be and end all.. i've been in my mates GTR. Its fast, it got grunt but its still a "Nissan R33" you can never escape that aspect.

Guys i have a hybrid cooler and i reckon its just as good as the jap brand ones.........theres nothing wrong with the coolers, people just have the shits that the piping doesnt line up properly and it can be a bitch to install.

They flow just as good and is fine for street use. Unless you want a drag monster this cooler will be fine.

After i installed it the car felt much better through the mid and upper rev range and my knock levels went down quite significantely.

lol.. funny.. when i think i bought a whole 2nd hand car for less than the price of just an ECU or turbo purchase, i wonder sometimes.. am i losing the performance bug? today i drove 200km to the GC and back, it felt like i was driving a family sedan :rofl:

What can I say GTR's make me moist

the others don't..... meh

yeah....i feel the same sometimes...and let's face it, there aren;t that many opportunities to use the performance value to its full potential these days, but could you really see yourself being happy driving a barina??????......maybe one day

frankly, I am holding onto my licence by such a tenuous thread that i really should be driving something like that.......:rofl:

agg! bad image there :rofl:

hmmm, for some reason whenever i see an R32 that does the same to me, 33 is shrug. I think i need to go into skyline therapy.. the love for the r33 has gone :rofl: noo!

I personally wouldn't go for the HYBRID because I have been told to steer clear of them. You mose well have your standard cooler there because it flows about the same. They are cheap, but you get what you pay for.

I am saving up to buy the Apexi GT cooler. I really like the look of it and the size.

But that's just my 2 cents.. you may not agree.

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
