What To Do With An 1996 R33 Gts?

[omy26c]

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???

Yawn...RB26

[jezzerrr]

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.

sell it and buy a gts-t?

[morlock]

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

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...

If only I wasn't a P plater...

Plus I wouldnt have a spare $6k lying around for insurance

But... would love to... one day!

[krzysiu]

Dam you guys have the worst restrictions ever. I thought the power to weight in victoria was too tight. Even though im a P-Plater too and my car isnt exactly close to legal to drive lol

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

Yeh I agree with this statement

[WazR32GTSt]

invest in a set of extractors, and ingore the fools that are telling you to sell it

it might not be fast, but it still looks GREAT and handles GREAT

enjoy the fanstastic car that you have...

[krzysiu]

You kidding yourself waz? He even said if he could he would get a gts-t lol

[WazR32GTSt]

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)

[Pva_Glue]

common or not have turbo or not,

Skyline itself is very good car for value with all electronic option comes with all the fruites.

very responsive handling and great looks. plus very economical too.

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.
