Mate ill give you the best advice you'll find on this forum

search

this has been covered 100's of times.

GT30, 500-600hp is the way to go.

Search and hav e a read of all the threads and thier comments and then post if you have any further questions (which i doubt you will)

I've gone into depth as have many other's using the GT30.

GT35 is too big for a true fast streeter

Your 33 is just a normal gtst isnt it? It looks like a s2 with some wild body kit and massively pumped guards. If it is a 25 then you will need the injectors for the power...the turbo will make it easy. Std internal limit is about 400rwhp. but i dont think anyone recommends going over 250-260 rwkws, So i would think pistons are a definete, maybe rods also. I know camshafts will help reduce the massive lag you will have with the turbo. If your only chasing the 300 rwkws a smaller turbo will do the trick and you wont lose out on so much response, unless your only after the high power and top end approach.

I think a lot more people are recently posting these questions about the GT30 and 35 units because they are at such a good price. Maybe it would be worthwhile making one such thread that covers both these turbos sticky.

I think R31Nismoid is on the money suggesting the GT3040 unit. I think the .82 housing is the way to go for your set up. But if you don’t mind a bit of lag the GT35R is not so bad either. On an old post on this forum someone stated that a GT3040R with 1.06 housing performs the same at the GT35R with the .82 housing. Maybe do a search and have a read as there is a wealth of info on here.

Turbo specs: GT3040R comes in .63, .82, 1.06 housings and is rated between 500-600hp

GT35R also comes in .63, .82, 1.06 housings and is rated between 600-700hp

And dude, that is one wide body skyline!

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
