Hey For All Those Lovers Of The R33 I decided to start this thread going because i'm starting to see more and more stock r33's on the road!

I'm not saying that i'm not one of these people cause i am but i only got my car a month n a half ago and am in quite abit of debt for someone my age!

Now whatever money i'm getting together that i'm not putting towards the loan, i'm saving up to put towards the Liner!

Anybody with Ideas, tips, Prices, and whatever u feel u want to say about the R33's please say it cause i'm only starting to understand how the turbo works, ect. i dont no a whole lot about them so your help would be needed!

plus i thought all r33 lovers might have a chance to have our own little chat thingy!

Mate, if your car is stock - I would go for a Cat back exhaust (preferably a jap brand). And a hi-flow panel for your filter. That will keep you happy for a while, then save up and get a bleeder vavle if you cant afford an Electronic Boost Controller.

keep it stock till u learn how to drive!!

Amen to that. Atleast until you gte used to the characteristics of the car...

My plan is to keep it stock for a few months... maybe a stez and wheels in that time, but nothing performance, then a cat back exhaust, the hi-flow cat, dump pipe working my way from outlet to inlet...

No need to up the boost too high (if at all) until you have all the cooling sorted... then i'll see if im content, otherwise look internal (enginewise). Somewhere in there if the balance starts to shift toward undriveable, i'll look at a suspension set up...

Here's the thing, my car isn't compleatly stock but engin wise it is! i'm running a 6 grand sound system in it so the sound is pretty good! there is an exhaugst on it and it's stain steel but it's not from the cat! my dad who's a freak about mod's and doesnt want me to do anything to the car has def. said i cant change the exhaught! I've just recently put in a HKS mushroom filter which has definatly added abit more boost to the car!

when i first got it i was prety confident wit driving it cause in my commodore i was running Gen 3 V8 and i was used to the power. I was recently chatting to a mate who has a sylvia and u mite no it the number plate is KA701C. It was at the final battle at auto salon and it's the charmealin (how ever u spell it) paint!

He's recomended that i get a trust front mount intercooler but i was just thinking or getting an GTR intercooler? which would be better!???

Did your dad pay for the car or u?

If u did, stuff what your dad says, do what mods u want after u learn to drive the thing.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
