The r33 has fairly decent sized rotors. Slots will help with heat dispersion.

Yeah mine get warm quite quick. It definitely something on my list to upgrade once the boat is back in my harbour

Slotted rotors could be the go then. Good quality pads as well.

Sell it and buy a r33 GTR. You can find them for less than 20k these days.

[Beelzebub89]

Save money, sell car, buy GTR, ???, Profit?

or

Fluids, brakes and rotors etc. Then spend 6k on tyres and entry fees into sprint days, hill climbs, drift days, skid pans etc.

or

6-7k on hookers and blow.

All 3 options are better avenues than a slight power upgrade in a 33...

[t5iv]

Hookers and blow. Hmmm... What are you doing Friday mate?

[TiTAN]

So coming to end of the year ill be finished with paying off the car.

Want to upgrade the car

All suspension side is sorted(away bars, coil overs, bracing, bushes etc.)

So I was thinking front mount with plenum gtr style, 80mm throttle body, upgraded fuel rail, hi flow 34 turbo, electronic boost tee, electronic bov, 450lph fuel pump, 550cc injectors, Ecu ( not sure on Ecu yet), fix the zorst and new clutch and clutch lines

Then a pain after all that

Any other mods? Or suggestions to not do some? Or brands

anything

Inputs

Coments

Numbers for new to town ladies

Cheap parts

plenum is a waste of money with such little mods, ditto for the throttle body and fuel rail.

550 injectors in the standard fuel rail with the standard fuel pressure regulator.

boost controller, high flow turbo or similar bolt on kit, stock bov with the top crushed to increase spring pressure (there is a thread on here about it somewhere) 255lph fuel pump, 400 is overkill.

all you blokes saying full fluid flush and better fluids, done.... first thing when i got the car

new engine oil every 4000 and the gearbox diff got flushed out new oils and the additives aswell

clutch and brake fluid is racing dot 4

coolant done the other week


fpr is stuffed so i need a new one, and the dampener.
bov leaking

more just research and saving atm so i know what i need to save for

so if anyone can give me brands they recommend that would be MAD!

[cowdy]

brakes are going to be slotted with ebc greens atm if anyone can suggest decent pads for a decent price aswell

how much are the pads you guys are talking about?

$80 for a pair of QFM HPXs

Ebc is good but also exxy.

Slotted DBA T3. Do it. Mike has them and loves them.

[cowdy]

cheers tony

This. About $400 for the fronts tho.

This. About $400 for the fronts tho.

If I recall going through brakesdirect/ GSL rally they were $180 per rotor for front and yeah as Tony said $80 for the HPX pads.

Still, roughly $400 for fronts

Throwing it out there. ......rb26??

GTR radiator could help. They're full aluminium and a cheap upgrade.

Pretty sure they are identical to the gtst one alloy core plastic end tanks.

The mods sound about right.

Nistune

R34 highflow

500ish cc injectors

Fuel pump? If not already done.

Front mount, I reccommend the return flow ones.

Boost controller

Some sort of plumbed back bov and boom 270 to 290rwkw of super fun happytimes.

Forget the plenum. I made 330rwkw using the stock one. You will be fine.

[t5iv]

Got a 33 GTR radiator sitting at home. It's all metal. No plastic end tanks. Not sure if alloy or aluminium. Will check

In that case I am pretty sure that isn't stock then! Could be wrong.
