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.

      Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...

      Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.

      Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents

      I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
