Hi guys. I am pretty new here but have been reading the forums for about a month. I am picking up my R33 on the weekend and have a few plans based on many of your comments on this forum. Just wanted the check to see what you guys think.

Ok so far the car has the following mods:

Nismo cat back exhaust

Pod filter

GTR Fuel pump

GTR Injectors

Car has never been boosted and remains factory for everything else.

I plan on adding these items right away:

Finish exhaust by getting dump pipe and hi-flow cat

FMIC

Dyno tune

Going to order a PFC and boost controller. Is it a good idea to get a new air flow meter while at it? If so what do you recomend. I saw on negun's site he has Tomei AFM adapter for a z32 for only $25. Would this suffice?

Thanks for any replies guys and looking forward to being part of the community.

My suggestions follow, not in any particular order;

*Z32 AFM not required until turbo upgraded.

*R32/33 GTR injectors are top feed low impedance and R33 GTST injectors are side feed high impedance. So I would check that carefully when you have the car.

*Dyno check is a good idea but not much to "tune" with std ECU

Hope that helps :wavey:

Thanks Sydneykid.  Hmm will check what injecters are actually in it when I get it.  Sorry for my ignorance but should the GTR injecters work in the GTST?

Basically, no - they are of a completely different configuration... it is highly unlikely you have them unless you have a custom plenum or at least some kind of custom fuel rail adapted to your factory plenum/inlet manifold.

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all.
