Hi... I have just bought a 1996 R33 GTS series II...

Just wondering what the best mods might be to have it looking hot and running like a machine?

I bought it with the usuals... Rims, Exhaust, M-Spec kit, etc... Perhaps investing in some extractors might give it a big kick (from what I've heard?).

Any ideas of what to do next???

if it's got all that... not much... by "big kick" you're prolly talking 5 KW on an NA. I'd try computer before extractors. cheaper and easier.

Can u list some examples of computers fitted and tuned for less then 300bucks? extractors are not that expenive and are the best value for money upgrade for almost any NA.

unless they're proper tuned length extractors you probably won't see more than 5rwkw. plus you'll need a free flowing exhaust including a highflow cat. I'd stick it on the dyno with a computer first and give it a tune to see how much power it's making, then shop around for tuned length 4 into 1 set and retune after, bet you don't get much more power.

without the tune, just chucking a set of extractors in will do bugger all IMHO

Forget about all the heavy stuff you going to put on.

the best mod would be STRIPPING DOWN!!! yeap, loose all the padding, take all the interiror off,

take off rear seat off.

Loose tires...etc.

I bet you will shave off 3 second time for sure :D

YEAH! who needs a steering wheel...

will have to agree with the weight loss... instant power to weight ratio.

take in mind though - most of our cars are daily driven...

unless your like johnny and decide to go all out with the sound deadening...

Move to QLD, you can own anything here.

But keeping to the post POD, Exhaust, ECU, Tune should give you few extra KWs, but in my opinion keep it stock save your chash and when you get your opens get a GTS-t. Instant power increase.

cheers

you kidding yourself, chirs?

he even said he wanted to abide by the P-plater laws and can't afford insurance

plus he probably doesn't want to kill himself...

its not all about power, you know

Very True!!

I mean... How often do you find a 'Unique' Skyline... Very rare!

U know... All have very common features, and are very nice all the same, but if I was to have a turbo, it would be just like all the others... I honestly couldn't afford to make it unique.

I wont complain about what I have... I know its a common car, but I love it all the same... Turbo or not... Still a hot little car, minus some KWs, but hey, if it means me saving $k's per year, plus less maintenance, then I'm not complaining.

Cheers for all your input guys...! B)

Well he has to follow the rules since half the car available are black listed over there lol. Have i killed myself yet? let me check... nope... once and for all the power doesnt matter (i know your having a stab at me cuz i actually do have power), its the person who is behind the wheel.

A dickhead in a little bomb would be a worse driver than a guy with a level head with 1000HP car. Power has nothing to do with it.

but with great power......

...comes uber crap km per tank!!!111oneoneoneone

that said... a level headed driver in a 1000HP car will be more likely to have an accident than a level headed driver in a moderately powered car.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
