Hello all!

I'm going to finally have a r33-GTR in a few weeks (i'm shopping around for the right one now) after wanting one for the longest time.

I'm super excited so i decided to finally register after lurking for a couple of months :)

I'm also not sure where to ask this question since it's somewhat broad (and i'm new to extensive modifications), but in everyone's opinion what would you find the best mods are for creating that "fast feeling"?

After i buy and replace everything that needs replacing, i planned on doing a cold air intake and potentially more power/weight reduction to get that "slam you back in your seat" feeling i've been chasing ever since i got to ride in a friend's SL55 AMG.

Really appreciate the help and looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Welcome Ashlee. :welcome:

There are lots of threads on here about mods to GTR's from basic (air filters, exhausts, weight reduction) to more advanced (turbos, internals etc) it really comes down to your budget and what you plan to do with the car (street, drag, track work, etc)

You'll find the info you're looking for, just don't wait here for people to answer you. :)

Hey and welcome!

Surprised this thread isn't 5 pages long already :P

On a serious note, I know the feels re the SL55. A guy I work with has an older model I've taken for a spin. It ain't quite stock right now (something like 550hp at the wheels) and he's throwing some more money at it yet! Thing oddly didn't feel all that fast to me....until you look at the speedo :O

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
