Hey, purchased my S1 R33 GTSt back in April 2012 and I have never regreted my purchase of one of these fine beasts, was quite a big step from being a P plater with a Nissan Bluebird just pulling roughly 150hp. I can see there is plenty of work for me to do after browsing through some of the threads. Just applied for membership and am quite excited. I'm really looking forward to attending some meets and hopefully being able to contribute to some of the threads on the forum.

Originally had a full 3" Jap brand exhaust on it but unfortunatly got rear ended 10 day after buying the car spent 5 weeks at repairers now has a 3" X-force exhaust system. Changed headunit from a crappy sony xplode to a Pioneer AVH-P6350BT fold out screen and installed single 12" Fusion sub in boot. Under the bonnet not very much has been altered engine brace, pod filter, aftermarket intercooler but apart from those is pretty well stock.

I'll attach some pictures of my car,

      I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?

      More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.

      I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.

      Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
