Mark0 mate, rock on onver to www.skylinesdownunder.co.nz - rip into the forums. They are back online, and will be full force soon. skylinesdownunder = SDU.

Gary and myself recently organised an SE QLD SDU cruise, people from goldie, brissy and sunshine coast came, 21 cars all up, it was great.

There are a few of us doin the gold coast run on saturday night.

You need no engine mods for an fmic - just the hardware.
Gary and revhead (marc) both have R33 GTS25t with exhaust, bleed valve, and pod filter, and go well. Turbo upgrade and fmic is next on the list i think. Get boost control in either the bleed valve, or a proper boost controller, and a boost guage - you can wick it up to 14psi - but you may need to regap the plugs so it doesnt blow the spark out.
Front and rear strut braces also improve the handling.

I have already got suspension work done
got bilsteins in it and after market springs

so my car can take an intercooler as is
can you recommend anywhere or what cooler
and turbo upgrade ??? u mean change it

[Slip]

Yeh, you can bolt another turbo on (usually bigger ) to the manifold - if it is suitable. Otherwise if you use a turbo that does not bolt to the original manifold you can get new exhaust manifold. Maybe even just a new flange...
You can use a GTR intercooler, or buy a kit from apexi, hks, greddy etc.
You can get them 2nd hand, and cheaper. You will new piping too - which you can get in a kit with an intercooler, or get it made up.
Your car HAS an intercooler. Its a crappy small one, at the front left behind the front bumper.

Strut braces are something you add (except on some cars, but thats rare for a car to have strut braces stock) and will compliment the suspension mods you have done. This is what they look like.

This is how they go on > http://photos.yahoo.com/___scythe___ > the front on pics of the whole engine bay show it clearly.
Some of em are quite cheap. Under $200 for mine (R31) - then youve got your high end ones in carbon fibre, or in a big brand name.

[BLUD]

Ello

Just bought my crisp white R33 GTST Today

Yes... very happy with the car!!!!!

And I'm on the Goldy! I would not mind going for a cruise sometime - just wanna fit an alarm and ditch the jap stereo (one can only bear cassettes and opera radio for so long - without getting a FM tweak)


cya'll round sometime!

cheers,

Brett

[Mark0]

cool man
gota love the jap stereo in em.....tryin to find all the stations
thats the first thing i did changed it for a pioneer head unit

:flash:

[Revhead]

I'm an Ipswich lad, just like Gary :finger: (hehe sorry mate couldn't resist)

I've got a series 1 GTS25t in wine red, with 3" exhaust, pod filter, wastegate bleed. With a full tank of fuel, full stereo and shit tyres it ran 14.1@101mph (crap launch).

Stereo is Pioneer head unit, Alpine 6.5" splits, Sony 6" 2 ways in the back, 4x50W cheapie running inside speakers, Kicker 15" sub run by Rockford Fosgate 250m2 monoblack amp (bridged).

I'll probably be down the coast tonight with Gary and slip but as a passenger... 6000km in 4 weeks sorta takes a bit of your enthusiasm...

[Slip]

Dude, ill give you $2 when we are down the gold coast. If that doesnt make you enthusiastic, i dont know what will.
Merli ran 16.6 @ 95mph i think, and then a 14.4 or something.
Note to everyone : revhead can DRIVE.
Dude, you got the new treads on lets see some 13s loving
Me = passenger
R31 = slow
Gaff tape = possibly not well recieved by cops, even tho its nismo.
Pigs are blitzin m1 and gold coast tonight.

[Mark0]

hey all,

I am from Ipswich too revhead, are you a lapper?

I work with mark0 and have been in his r33 GTS-t and it goes quite well I must say.

We just need to bolt on a larger turbo onto I think.

Dont worry Mark0 we will make it break the 1000HP
