Hi All,

Been lurking for a while and finally decided to take the plunge and purchase a Series II R33 GTST.

Worst part is the 5 months I have to wait to drive the thing :(

The beasty has FMIC/Pod (needs to be replaced) Manual Boost controller set to 8psi and that's really about it.

Goal is most likely once I get used to both turbo and RWD to mod to 200kw and leave it there for as long as it shall serve me!

It's going to be hard having to drive the 93 Camry with such an amazing car just begging to be driven in the shed though...

Looking forward to meeting up with some other local enthusiasts in the future!

Mitch

That's it hey!

It's my own fault though, I got too caught up in riding bikes instead and decided I didn't need a car because I was out every weekend and the girlfriend had a car at the time..

Going to clear out the shed, park it up and keep it nice and shiny with the occasional jaunt with a trusted mate behind the wheel.

Could be worse though, I could always not have a Skyline to look forward too!

Thought I should add a pic of said beast.

Still has about a year or two of dust on it even after a decent scrubbing down - waiting outside the garage for another bath or two to get rid of everything. Never had to clean a stored car before..

Can't wait to be able to drive the thing!

      I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack

      NC MX5

      Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)

      Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.

      A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
