im considering on buying a new car..either a wrx or a r33 gtst...

id alwaiz loved r33s but i also like the wrx coz they r 4 doors n look more new..

but im sorta leaning towards the r33 n stick to my dream car...

but i have a few questions

1. if i was to buy a stock r33 gtst, how much m i looking at to spend on small mods like front mount, BOV, body kits, Exh, etc...just minor mods to make it look good n run alright...

2. the interior of the r33 gtst looks abit out of date n i was wondering how much tat would cost me to change? maybe just new bucket seats, new deck, wheel, gear nob, n if possible i want to change the dash (i can change the dash n roughly how much would it cost me?)

my bugdet all up is around the 26k mark

think its possible for me to do this with tat amount? n if so, what should i get n prices..

thanks

Peter

Don't buy a stock GTST you can buy one on these forums with lots of modifications.

I personaly wouldn't bother with the interior I'd make the exterior and interior look stock with lots of engine modifications - Sleeper, but if you must!

New deck - $600 For a half decent one.

Speakers - $300 depends no what you want and can afford.

Nismo 320k Dash - $1000 or you can just get the speedo change for around $450

Gear Nob - $100 also depends on what style you want

New seats - Ranging from $1000 - $3000 ?

but if your going to buy a stock gtst.

Front mount - $1500

3" Exhaust - $800

Boost controler - Turbosmart manual one - $90 or electronic b/c can rang from $500 through to $1000

3" Dumpipe - $400

Body kit - depends on what you want. GTR front bars are around $500

Rims - at least $1500 for a decent set

Boost guage - $100

Pod filter - $100

Try and get a car with the basic suspension, exhaust, Pod's and Mags as it will make things so much easier so you can spend money on other modifications in the long run. :)

      I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.

      From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro

      🚨 Need Advice! Overcharged for Engineering Report 🚨

      Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.

      Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!

      I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
