im gonna spend around 1k for a full exhaust system but the problem is i wat a FMIC.

i was checkin out N1 in melbourne and the HKS coolers and they are around 2.3k. is that seriously worth it or should i get one of these. for around 600 (my mate says they good value)

Firstly it's a FMIC.

Secondly 4 grand should definately be able to get you a Blitz FMIC kit (bout $1600) and a decent brand name turbo-back exhaust. Plus your head unit.

lol....i aint gonna be like 2f2f or anything.....but i just want good quality

kinda changed my mind a lttlel tell me what u think

Get an exhaust first.

Look in the traders section for posts by "BATMBL"

But a Split front/dump pipe, and a highflow cat.

Then get a catback system made up from your exhaust shop, and get it all fitted.

yeah i think its too much. As dark said, make sure you get a decent 3" exhaust with hi flow cat. No need to go overboard with HKS or whatever

Also I have a Hybrid cooler kit and have had no problems whatsoever.

Im just about to buy some parts for my r33, so ive been looking into what to get.

I would go a twin dump/front pipe all in one (from a guy on this forum) also a high flow cat. Not sure on the rest of it probably just a 3inch.

Get a hybrid or a justjap intercooler kit.

Theres a guy on ebay selling a good boost controller for $35

That would cost around 2k

with the rest you could go for a power fc and get it tuned then you should have 500bucks to spend on a deck. Goto http://www.auaudio.com for some good deals.

hRmmms....see all this is good i can spend 2k on all that. but my questions is, is it worth the money spending around 2.5 - 3.5 k on exhaust and cooler. will i gain alot from that big of a upgrade? or only so lil

I meant good tyres, good suspension, good brakes, make sure all bushes etc on the car are in good nick.

Really $4k can go far, or not really anywhere. In terms of performace I would have spent $1k max on the engine, and got the most out of it. Just doing the right mods getting good gear, and paying the right price for it. But then suspension, brakes, gearbox, everything else is up to scratch.

Just my oppinion anyway. Even split it up a bit.

just a quick stupid question....what is this "pfc or power fc" i keep hearing about?

A Power FC is a after market computer, which would replace your stock one.

      Putting r32 coupe tail lights on a r32 sedan

      By mattyve · Posted

      Hi fellow SAU members, I want to put coupe tail lights on my R32 sedan. I have been told it was as easy as changing the boot lid and the tail lights and possibly the rear bar. I have since found out that this is incorrect after buying the lights and boot. The coupe boot dosnt allow the boot to oprn on a sedan and the tail lights won't fit either. Has anyone done this or seen it done and could help me out with some guidance or instructions to get it done.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Interesting that it has 2 to the USB stick. Are the ones to the USB stick different? Or labelled anything at all? Telstra 4G is Band 28 is the long range one you want, it's 700mHz. I'm trying to do some reading on the Cel-Fi stuff, but I can't find any decent info online that makes me feel comfortable being able to work out the sort of antennas we could get away to swapping it over to. The antennas I'm starting to do some stuff with at work, are a transparent antenna. They're designed to stick onto the window. Which means you wouldn't even have the antenna outside the car. Volkswagen have just started using the exact same types of antennas on some of their new cars (And from the same antenna manufacturer). But, RF stuff is a bit of a dark art some days, and getting it wrong in your car could make for a terrible waste of money trying to swap antennas :S

      What do you do with all the spares?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm not going to lie Duncan, Saturday and Sunday were pretty rough days. The sort of work I was doing would previously have ended up with me spending about an hour and a half chatting with Neil. Firstly about something I had a question about, and then both of us rambling off on tangents.  I think how Neil did things, and his attitude to getting it done is helping me in part to get this stuff done. Then I can actually do the things I enjoy more easily
