Hi, guys... I just bought my R34 GT-t not long. (have not much knowledge about turbo cars ) Up to this minute, my modification is pretty simple:

1. Apexi pod filter

2. Front mount intercooler

3. apexi turbo back exhaust

4. blitz BOV

I am just wondering which turbo should I buy (not necessary to be extremely powerful :D) such that i can direct bolt on without too much modifications on the pipings?

Also, my car constantly have back-fire, is that if i buy a safc will help?

How much does it usually cost for a normal tuning?

cheers everyone

Joe

theres a fair bit of info you need will before you just can just "get a bigger turbo". it would be certainly maxing out your current turbocharger as this will give you the most fun and response on the street (ie: turbo lag)

if i was you i would do the following

good cold air intake (with heat shield / box and route cold air to it)

apexi powerfc ecu

boost controller (apexi powerfc add-on one is fine)

3" split dump exhaust from batmbl (on the forums)

some good tyres and suspension

get it tuned and it should be nice and snappy and make some good power

with a larger turbo comes more lag, heat and stress. before you consider a new turbocharger you will need

aftermarket ecu

aftermarket injectors

cold air intake setup

good tyres

good suspension

aftermarket fuel pump

at least 3" split dump exhaust and 3" front pipe and 3" cat back and 3" hiflow cat

Firstly, set a power goal for yourself.

Bear in mind the stock motor limit is around 260rwkw

So, once youve set a power goal

Have a read of here:

There are lots of threads on what you need before you get to the turbo stage

And then have a look here, at the results

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=55845

Both are sticky threads in this very section... just incase your wondering how i found em

:D

But what do i need to do for that?

    • Following from this in a related by not closely-related sense... Because I was buying a bunch of other GKTech stuff, I got some rear subframe collars. The history that leads up to this is: 25+ years ago the car arrived into the country with stock subframe bushes. At some point shortly thereafter I added Whiteline pineapple rings, set up neutral, and it improved the rear end behaviour. Well, it is my vague memory that I was happier with it with them in. Less axle tramp on launches, generally better, etc etc. ~2012 it got a new non-HICAS subframe with new stock bushes. No pineapple rings. I reckon that ever since then I've been dissatisfied with the axle tramp. Recently I've been f**king around a lot with all aspects of the suspension. One contemplation has been to relocate the rear lower control arm front mount points (and do the other things needed to make that work) to improve longitudinal rear grip by getting rid of some of the stupid anti-squat that Nissan ladled into the R32. But.... before doing that I thought I'd put some collars in. And.... The collars are good. The rear sounds a little bit different, but there has been no significant increase in NVH coming up into the body. In terms of rear behaviour - expansion joints on long sweeping elevated freeway ramps that would sometimes cause the rear to jiggle around a bit, no longer seem to do so. It appears that jamming chunks of metal into the gaps in the rubber so they can't move much is a really good thing. And the launch behaviour and general forward traction situation seems to be greatly improved too. It's impossible to be really sure, because the tyres are completely shagged - they are freakishly willing to let go right now. But as an A-B test with the same tyres it certainly seems to grip up a lot better. Highly recommended to anyone who still has stock bushes.
    • Bit off topic maybe but has anyone had a crack at one of those aftermarket electric compressors ? Bit of a search came up with one put out by Speedy Air Spares. Looks interesting and looks as if you'd have to run a big arse alternator. Found this out after the fact as my air con compressor packed it in and soon after my alternator ! !
    • Yes. Needs new ports. Usually just achieved by screwing an adapter onto them. Be aware that any AC compressor that hasn't been used in a long time will very likely have dried out seals and will not hold gas. Oh, and obviously you will require a new receiver-dryer also.
    • Can you covert an R32's AC from r12 to r134 if the compressor/hoses etc are still all good? Pretty sure on my car the AC was degassed when it was imported  to remove the naughty r12 and save the ozone layer, and the fancy climate control system just blew air around. Was happy to drive the car with windows down back then, but now I am old and need to be kept cool
    • Just to circle back here, I've sold my automatic trans to another Stagea owner in OH.
