I also owned an R33 S2 in 2010 with a HKS 2835 pro s and all supporting mods, it was a beast and an amazing car for its era. Easily the most well balanced, responsive sports car I’ve owned. The car is so light that simple mods make it quick
Mate would have been sweet with the little turbo on it. Definitely would have gotten off of the line well! I keep telling myself I’ll sell it but it keeps not happening. Haha
@@davelehfeldt not much difference with a 3071 Garrett, it’s just HKS rebrand them and improve the spool time. Had grunt everywhere in rev range . Blew away many big displacement cars in bottom and top end 😉

They’re sick cars man. Definitely rate them. I’m a shocker at keeping cars and have my eyes on some pretty big goals which means might need to sell all of my cars for a while...will definitely miss this one if it goes

Hey dude, yeah I think so. I haven’t changed the gate size on the same car to test it but cars always sound different, so I’m presuming it’s gate size, exhausts and turbos making it different.
I love those need pads bro Do they work well or do they get annoying sometimes? Honest answers please I’m looking at buying some Ps would be do much cooler if the seats were r33 but I totally understand that they aren’t considering the ridiculous prices they are asking for them other than that I absolutely love your care bro it’s sick and sounds awesome
Hey Travis, In my experience so far, the knee pads are kind of just a novelty. I’m about 6ft tall and don’t really notice them in the car too much. I just found them and thought it was something cool that was Nismo to add to the car. Yeah, I agree. 33 gtr seats are cool. I haven’t really sat in many but I’m planning on doing some basic interior tidying up on it anyway that will entail a retrim of the front seats anyway. Thanks for watching mate
@@davelehfeldt you should check out the nismo seat covers they are pretty expensive but totally worth it The r32 and r33 seats are exactly the same but just different fabrics
Ive never built a stock motor up from scratch mate so I'd be lying if I told you I knew how it would exactly change performance, but it is certainly an upgrade! When picking a turbo, you have to consider fuel systems, exhausts, ecu as well - so do you know what you are doing there? The 3076 size turbos get a great wrap from people with RB25det's. My new turbo is a Garret G30-900 and I love it. I will make a video of it driving soon for you.
Hey man! It’s on adjustable Coilovers. It depends what you use the car for. Stock suspension has its place as well. I’ll put it on a dyno soon, before it goes on e85!
Hey Dave, thought I’d get your opinion. I’m looking at a neighbours 96 R33 GTST S2 making 306rwkw on e85 and 270 on 98, extremely clean, body has 160,000kms but engine only has 20,000kms since being built stronger. Has genuine GTR wing and Interior (front and rear seats). Got resprayed 2 years back also. Not much history on the car, but the current owner I know is fussy with cars like I am so he’d have made sure it was good (it’s his 3rd in 15 years). He’s after $40K which for the work that’s already been done and the cleanliness, it may be worth it. What are your thoughts? Cheers

That modified intake is really bad in terms of air flow. Chinese copies of greaddy intake are readily available and probably cost less than modification job. They require fitting work though
