The forgotten generation of GT-R is on its way to bonafide classic - here's how to get the best.
Note for reference: car weight and power data are hard to pin down with absolute certainty. For consistency, we use the same source for all our guides. We hope the data we use is right more often than it’s wrong. Our advice is to treat it as relative rather than definitive.The twin-turbocharged RB26DETT straight six is undoubtedly one of the all-time great powerplants.
Ramping up turbo boost for extra power sounds like a great plan, but increased crankcase pressure can lead to oil being forced past the turbo and into the intake tract, increasing oil consumption, creating exhaust smoke on boost and potentially causing detonation. 14psi, or about 1 bar, is considered the safe limit if your car's turbo has ceramic exhaust wheels . Too much oil in the cylinder head starves the sump, leading to spinning bearings and engine failure.
R33 electrics aren't as whizzy as they are on the R34, but they're old now and vulnerable. The solder joints on things like MAFs dry out. Make sure the AWD system is working by giving it a decent bootful on a wet road. That should trigger some drive action at the front wheels. If you can't feel any difference, get your mate to stand by and watch. There shouldn't be any untoward noises from the rear diff.
Polybushing is obviously a thing on these cars. A full set should come in at under £600 and will noticeably tighten up a baggy chassis. Installing thicker anti-roll bars is another popular mod. Uprated 'Superlock' front and rear diffs from highly-rated Japanese specialists OS Giken will cost around £3k for the pair.
Finding original 9x17 wheels on an R33 that’s for sale will be a rare occurrence because everyone wants to go Fast & Furious and the aftermarket choice is broad. You could go up to 19-inch wheels in the stock arches and, as you might expect, aftermarket bodywork options mean you don't have to retain those either. More important than visual appeal is ensuring that the wheels are all pointing in the right direction.
