Ok I have found a mate that might know what he is talking about with Skylines.

He is telling me that with a stock R33 GTS25t I should leave the ECU alone, and Leave the Injectors alone, do the 3" cat back, and get a 600 x 300 intercooler, change my fuel pump to a Bosh 044, and also keep my eyes out for a brand new cheap Garrett GT3540r and manifold to suit?

Does this sound like a way to go?

What kind of power am i looking at when done?

and what is a rough price for all this set up?

with out labour cos I should be rite to get my local to fit it all for me.

Also he is talking about turbo timers and blow off valves and turbo smart hi lo switches, and also a plumbing kit for the intercooler.

Any rough ideas on prices of these? if anyone is in the right industry to quote.

Most certainly not.

Advice #1 - dont talk to that mate again about poerformance modifications, he does not know what he is talking about

Advice #2 - Here is a link to the sticky thread in this section:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=66556

In there it takes you too this link:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=45218

That are many more in that sticky (first link) with information (especially pricing/troubleshooting) that you wont find in some "tuning guide"

you mate doesn't know much about skylines by the sounds of it.

just to point out, the stock ecu has a 'boost cut' that will limit you to an absolute max of about 300hp. on stock turbo it kicks in about 13-14psi depending on the car. on a bigger turbo this will be even lower. it is caused by the air flow meter reaching its max voltage. so first thing to do if you are changing the turbo would be to change the ecu. then smack your friend over the head with the old turbo and don't listen to him again.

order of mods should be as follows

1. 3inch turbo back exhaust including highflow cat

2. assuming you dont want to go down the track of massive horsepower a gktech front mount kit will do you perfectly fine

3. either pod filter or a decent panel filter in the airbox maybe even mod the airbox for a bit more flow..

4. rb20 actuator or cheap bleed valve and raise boost to 11-12psi

5. depending on condition of fuel pump replace intank with a bosch 040 how ever not nessicary while still running stock turbo in my opinion

and aswell as everyone else.. i'd like to know why on earth your 'mate' said buy a gt3540 and manifold to suit before buying a computer injectors

and computer and fpr at minimum let alone fordged rods and pistons for that extra safety

Cos he is a dick I guess. I have no idea, that is why after he told me i ran it past you guys.

I called Ashley at Graham West in Adelaide.

This is what I have been suggested.

Let me know what you think.

PowerFC Comp (DJetrow)

PowerFC Boost Controller

ASE Intercooler

3" Exhaust, WIth Front Down, and Dump Pipe and Hi FLo Cat.

Rebuild my stock Turbo into a GT30 Internals Limited to 250rwkw

Bosch 040 Fuel Pump

Z32 Air Flow Meter

Nismo 550 Injectors

Does this sound like what I should be looking out for?

no need for djetro PFC

no need for Gt30 in stock housing (excess lag for no apparent reason)

he didn't chose them, that ashley fella did. learn to read.

and they probably chose the djetro to get rid of the arm. despite what you may believe a car will run just as well without it.

ok this is my recommendation..

1. HKS GTRS, power fc, 555cc injectors kit from nengun http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/26

2. Front mount GKtech should be ample.. for the price you really cant go wrong

3. BATMBL split front and dump pipe and highflow cat.. will also need cat back providing you dont have one.. either get one custom made at ehaust shop.. or search around and order one weather it be from japan or the forums.. exhaust technology off ns.com forums does some awesome deals on cat backs and the like..

4. Bosch 040 intank fuel pump and wire it up so it gets full 13.8 volts (search forum for the info on this)

5. Last but not least Z32 AFM

6. (optional) tomei Pon cams

7. boost controller which ever you prefer

------------------------------------------------

OR

-----------------------

1. Power FC (standard spec)

2. Boost controller of some sort which ever you prefer

3. i dont know about ase intercoolers.. how ever im sure a hyrbid or GK tech intercooler pipe will suit you fine

4. Batmbl split dump and front pipe and highflow cat (and a cat back to suit weather it be a jap brand or custom made jobbie from the exhaust shop

5. GCG highflow

6. 555 nismo injectors should be ample

7. 040 intank pump

8. and aswell z32 afm

9. Pon cams (optional once again)

ok in the little list of things he recomended.. i dont understand why you've put power fc Djetro than put Z32 AFM.. the idea of dejetro is to get rid of the afm and run map sensor.. which for your car you dont need

      Will I Need A Retune After Cahanging My Catalytic Converter ?

      By silviaz · Posted

      Does it make a difference in your turbo having a shorter life if you have a cat converter as it causes that back pressure versus less/no back pressure with a decat? (Not sure if this is accurate) Also slightly different question if you went from a oem cat to a decat or vice versa will it require a tune? I heard if you change the dump pipe onwards it requires a tune?

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No. Have only gotten as far as contemplating the task of having to put in the required fairly heavy wiring and fusing to run it (along with the big alternator), and preferring not to. But otherwise, it would be nice to have a little extra freedom as to exactly where the compressor is located and free up some space around the exhaust side of the engine.

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By PLYNX · Posted

      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 ! !

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
