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

    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
    • If that was the case I suppose you could call it "Mein's" brand....  ... I'll see myself out... 😅
