pfc (1400+... very rare now a days) or emanage ultimate (~$900), and a tune ($500ish). that will get you 200kw.

the standard turbo will be at its limits at 200kw and may very well need upgrading.

upgrading the turbo will mean another 1k-1.7k on a hiflow (if you choose to go into that direction).

but if you get a hiflow you might as well take full advantage of it with: afm (z32 $300) and injectors (555cc off slide: $600ish) and get around 240kw easily.

personally im going in the:

slide hiflow: approx: $950

emanage ultimate: $900 ish

z32 afm: $300

standard injectors (maybe 555cc - undecided): $0

tune: $400-$500

thats around $2650 or $3200 with injectors.

$2800 will get you a nice set bilstein shocks, springs, sway bars etc with still a bit to spare.. thats if you're doing all the labour yourself. if not, that amount will be significantly less.

yeh security, nice mods on the budget.

should be the goods.

i have personally installed and driven an rb20 with the kkr480 turbo form ottomotto in sydney.

had pfc,550cc injectors, z32, turbo back exhaust, front mount, cam gears, catch can, running 16psi and it pulled 254rwkw out of an unopened rb20. next will be cams, should see 280rwkw.

as for suspension and brake upgrades, gtr brakes would be a cheap but highly effective upgrade.

suspension wise, nice set of bilsteins or coilovers would be nice, fat sway bars and sturt braces front an rear would help it handle alot better being a 4door. personally i would go coiloivers, with height and damper adjustments, so you can raise the height for drag and soften it up, let your pressures down to 20psi give or take 5psi so your launch is taken by the car and wont bounce/wheelspin.

my mate has spent $5900 so far, and i helped him install it. ran 12.6 with a slipping clutch.

next he is to upgrade his clutch, do the cams, hopefully touch the high 11's.

turbo is a little laggy though, so the cams should help this and a re-tune.

best of luck with your mods mate. look forward to seeing your results.

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
