its nearly time to start modding the 33 so i thought id see if anyone could help me achieve the best results

im gonna be fitting a 3" exhaust from turbo back so i need ideas on places that do good exhaust fittings. im also interested in keeping it quiet to attract less attention without loosing any power (if possible)

i got a cooler goin on which is all sorted

and a safc2 which i will prolly leave in the glove box for the time being. ill probably get it tuned at chiptorque...

if anything else can be done to make more with stnd turbo and safc (like fuel pump. or reg or something) please tell

also, anyone got any experience installing a new stereo themselves using stnd speakers?

thanks for your time

As to the Exhaust, Rob Bliss did my dump pipe and I bought a aftermarket exhaust from japan that was 3" stainless and pretty much a straight system including 3" cat. Some really good prices landed are on offer if you are prepared to look and wait.

i got my dump pipe through batmbl here on the forums

was excellent

chased up a secondhand gtr cooler cheap, which meant i could spend a bit more on converting the plennum to forward facing (less piping, less hassles)

got a good quiet blitz exhaust for less than 500 bux from option1 (they had plenty to choose from)

Where you going to drive it mostly? Going to do any track or mountain work?

Sounds like you have the basics covered.. and should give you around 170-200rwkw with stock turbo. After that I would look at spending money on suspension, sway bars and other handling items before going too much faster as you'll be losing it to the ground. Sort them out and you can beat many other cars which much more power :)

I Installed my own sterio I was thinking about using the stock speakers. However mine were buggered. The cones are paper and are either dead or about to be dead. I hooked my head unit up to the stock speakers and it sounded awful. Went to JB and got two sets of Pioneer 6' two ways for $98. Now it sounds 100% better with out costing too much. Ditch the stock speakers and look for some bargins on good brand speakers :uh-huh:

Got in touch with vic member INASNT he can supply whiteline for cheaper than thier website.

Got to consider sizes now, thier upgrade is 24mm front & 20 rear but they also have 27F & 22R, he can supply the 27f but only 20r.

Is it worth putting that combo on or would it affect the dynamics as it is the rear I want to tame?

:confused:

Diam

Refers to the diameter in millimeters of the Whiteline/Selbys Swaybar catalogued bar. Generally these are "touring sizes" with replacements being around 1-5mmlarger than the original. Note that "extra heavy duty" oversize diameters are also available for many applications. Some Whiteline/Selbys Swaybars are of the same diameter as original, but only when replacing an OEMhollow or tubular design with a solid Whiteline/Selbys Swaybar.

    • Hey good to see you on the forums! Haha Considering this cars past with electronic issues I am leaning towards it being a wiring fault somewhere in the engine bay. When testing the ac relay in the fuse box there was no earth trigger. I am probably going to try "bench test" the compressor by giving it direct ground and power to see if i can hear the ac clutch click otherwise I will be pretty sure I have a dead compressor. If it does work then I will be tracing some wiring it seems.
    • Haha, the big brain move is to buy a second set of headlights to clean up or retrofit. I definitely don't have one sitting in a cupboard that hasn't been touched since it arrived. Just have to ignore the intrusive thoughts that suggest the second set is not quite as good as it could be and to buy a third set that the job would definitely get done with  
    • Nah I'm talking about the GTS-t with 15" wheels and single piston brakes.  I've seen them pop up occasionally over the years. You can see it in the brochures. Most were early models (aka Series 1).
    • Oh man... I've been here, that's for sure. I love my ugly but still functional headlights that can never come apart again.
