I jsut got my R33 GTS-T a few days ago and was surprised...it beig the first turbo car i'd driven...at how easy it is to speed in these and not notice it. i was jsut wondering if mines a stockish GTS-T where do people with modded GTR's or GTS-T's use the power...only tracks? also is there a place i can check if i got caught speeding, or how long does a letter take?

I have the opposite problem as you... Because I am used to car's with the suspension of riding on a cloud... I now feel every bump and jitter which gives me the impression if going faster than I am.

I find I speed alot less by accident in the 'line, but in the Accord I don't feel the bumps as much and my right foot gets heavier and heavier...

As far as using power... I don't see a problem using power on the street, as long as you are sensible about it and theres no one around (obviously not residential roads). Frankly I don't have time to get out to a track as often as I would like, and i'm not going to drive around in a skyline like a grandma, otherwise I may as well sell it.

I am kind of lucky in this regard as I live way out in the country, NO SPEED CAMERAS and the cops are very few an far between and usually aren't to worried about people speeding/racing so long as we do it out on some quiet back road and not in town.

It's great, we can pretty much get away with anything. :wassup:

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.

      Are you doing the work yourself or are you paying for labour?
