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.

    • How much ya asking drunkan 
    • A few other things to round out the chassis mechanical checks. Diff is nice and full of new oil, pretty sure it is Castrol VMX (I run the same on Award's recommendation). I didn't pull the cover to check, but I'm 90% sure the diff centre is a nismo mechanical (old school, not the gt pro). Gearbox is also nice and full of fresh oil, not sure what it is but not redline. Tailshaft bearing looks OK and a tailshaft loop is in place
    • Front lower control arm is standard with new ball joints, tension rod looks like JJR spherical. Front upper control arm is standard with adjustable bushes in the outside end     Rear arms are all nismo, surprisingly all the bushes at either end look standard but in good condition Subframe has standard bushes with lock collars HICAS has a lock bar with standard ball joints at the hub end
    • Next, shocks/springs/swaybars It has Sydneykid valved Bilsteins with HKS pillow ball hats all round. Springs are Eibach race springs on adjustable height platforms, with helper springs in the rear to stop rattling. These are 250 all around but easy to change for something else if required. Swaybars are powdercoated blue but would be Selby's/Whiteline solid adjustables, 21mm rear and 24mm front. Bushes and links in good condition All in good condition, no sign of leaks/damage etc
    • yeah for sure.....remember to put your tools away at the end of each day kids!  Actually it has been kinda nice working on the car, lots of memories of good times. I can pretty much hear him telling me off for stuff still.
