4k To Spend


Recommended Posts

4$k is PLENTY.. wanna waste money on brand parts fine. Want proven performance do it smart!

Exhausts = BATMBL for all the front stuff.. Get a catback on special from justjap or on the forums for like $300-500. Acid bath it or wash it out nice and proper and as long as it doesnt have any dents you'll be fine!

FMIC = Get a Calsonic made GTR. Good for about 250rwkw - probably less lag and better response than anything else for the price. Just get it cleaned up and flow tested etc if you're worried. $300-400 for the cooler.

HU = get a cheapie ebay unit. it's overseas model sure but you'll save a few hundred and it'll work just the same. Just make sure the radio frequency is tuned ok.

You have $2.5k left. Buy a whole stash of weed, coke and some whores.

$4,000 is a lot of money, i don't know if anyone has asked you but this is going into a R32 GTS-T right?

Just so we can get the engine right. RB20DET?!

if that is the case what i would do is get a GTR FMIC (instaled should be about $1000), there is no need to go with a SUPER FANCY FMIC if you are not going to be pushing the power, it is,IMO, a waste of money.

Get the Apex'i air filter (pod?)$150

good BOV (i have HKS SSQBOV and i like it)$150

upgrade the turbo to somthing special like a RB25 turbo ($500)

injectors 444CC Nismos are good for GTS-T's($400)

fuel pump (Walbro 255) In canada i got mine for $78.82 after tax

then upgrade the computer to a Emanage or the new Emanage Ultimate ($600)

This will bring you to $2900 so that will leave you with alittle music money!

I think that you will be pushing about 300HP to the ground with a setup like this and then you will be blowing all your fellow r32's away.

I think that this would even take a Stock GTR!

that is some food for thought!

I just realized that i did everything in Canadain dollars. so add 18% to everything and that is about the AUD conversion

Nice Exhaust First With CAI and and pod with 1 of thos boxs on this forum $2-$2.5 thousand

FMIC with PBBOV $1.5 - $2 Thousand

Bleed value and Boost gauge$200 - $300

SAFC if any money left

as for music get a cd player with amp and some resonable 6x9s $1.5 thonsand all up

no need to go over board and you have an r34 and i recon you might keep it for a few years so you dont need to rush it all

BOV is prob a waste of money, not really need unless you're running serious power.

Yeah, go to the suspension area, and check out SydneyKid's R34 Suspension kit. Bout $2.2K i think...

you can make your car faster without increasing the power. Full exhaust with some BATMBL parts is prob the only power upgrade i'd do with the money, the rest i'd spend on suspension, brakes, tyres, etc...

um... does the $4k have to spent on the car? maybe travel? some highly speculative shares? :yes: or just buy like $4k of ANZ shares, or something safe as houses...

doesnt the PFC have boost controller built in? if he gets the hand controller with it, he wouldnt need an EBC. is the boost control function hard to use on th PFC? is a stand alone EBC much easier to use than a PFC. he needs a headunit to, he wants an alpine (forgot exact model) thats about $700

so far, he's only lookin at the baics, exhaust, cooler, PFC, boost. hows the fuel system hold up in 34's? wheres the limit of it, and how far will a pump upgrade go, as far as power levels with stock injectors etc. but between those mods, i guess he'd be lookin at around 220rwkw...

Come and see me, we can go for a drive in my car, I'll show you everything.

I'm in Melbourne.

I say, Suspension kit. $2.2k

Power FC with boost kit $1.3k

Full Exhaust inc BATMBL $1.0k

Hybrid Cooler Kit. $0.8k

That's a nice neat 4.3k.

Also, go to Racepace, get it tuned and make a solid 200rwkw, and the thing will handle too.

I reckon this is about the best bang for your buck combo so far, but I would change a few things:

Xforce full exhaust $950

Hybrid copy cooler kit $500

K&N pod filter + adaptor $100

2hnd rebuilt coilovers $1000

EBC $350

PFC w/ hand controller $960

Thats $3860 + tuning for the Power FC

3" front/dump + 3" high-flow cat - $270+190 (BATMBL)

3" cat back exhaust - $300 (secondhand off forum or eBay)

Hybrid copy FMIC - $200 (They're everywhere, some even cheaper)

IC piping - $200 - 300 (Have an exhaust place make it for you and use the factory piping route or just buy a full FMIC kit for $500 and cut up your car...)

POD and CAI - $200 (one of those ones with the perspex lid that Maxx was selling, or just make one yourself for about $50)

Turbotech boost controller - $40

PowerFC w/ controller - $950 (gR33ddy GB)

= $2450

say $500 for PFC tuning

= $2950

That leaves $1050 to spend on a HU or whatever. Personally I would spend it on a set of DBA slotted rotors for the front and some whiteline sway bars.

    • yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.
    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
