Im in adelaide is that close enough??????

Really I use tolive in Newcastle and now in Adelaide and NOW moving back to Sydney for work haaaaaaaaaa! Cruzed around newcastle a few years ago in my red r33 gtst with South Australian number plates and only seen 2 skylines i could not wait to get back to adeliade to get my import intake, bla bla any way will bring the GTR to Newcastle to see the folks and bring out for a drive to meet some of you lot as I need to make new friends. Any back to the real question and answer as most know doing up a import is not that hard for bang for bucks .

I reckon Full exhaust and i mean turbo back you lose around 20+ kw if you leave the standard front pipe on and only put a cat back exhaust so do it right if you can and do the whole lot in one hit . Next if you have standard air box leave it as this is the best unless you like the sucking noise just replace the filter to a K&N style this reduces heat and allows good air flow with cleaner air. Front mount dont need to go stupid in size look into it GTR intercoolers are a good option but notthe best and if you look hard enough you will find cheaper. Final is a boost controller i use to have a AVCR i loved it not saying this is the best but it looked good too. with this and a good dyno tune should see your self between 220 and 250rwkw just my thoughts. Want to go nuts on mod your car go to the extream pull the motor out put a RB30 bottom end with your rb25 head power fc which you will need and a 3540 turbo larger injectors bigger fuel rail forged pistons etc list goes on plus will almost need a application for a personal loan. Good luck

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
