Before this gets deleted: i HAVE searched

My question is:

If i get 2.5" catback (is there a cheap version of this thats just as good as the fujitsubo one?) and coby extractors, sure there will be performance gains (particularly in the low-mid range)... but my concern is, what is it going to do to my FUEL INTAKE :D !! please tell me it won't be affected so I can go ahead with it.

Also, what's a good and trustworthy shop to get mufflers made/fitted in SYDNEY, preferably Westside.

Thanks all

P.S. if you want to see my car its in my profile's gallery

ive got a 3" Trust full stainless steel catback on my GT and i got a 16.9 kW increase, ive also got custom made extractors on but not sure whether there has been a power gain or not (have not been able to get her back on the same dyno). what you must realise is that getting extractors put on dosent mean you will get extra power, however you will (or should!) notice the car being alot more responsive..i noticed it straight away from picking her up after the getting the extractors put on.

fuel wise i havent noticed a change at all, put extractors should help wit the fuel economy a bit.

hope this helps

any increase in performance/power is going to use up more energy = fuel

so your FUEL INTAKE CONSUMPTION is obviously going to increase, as to by how much - who knows, it's dependent on your tune, style of driving and associated components.

if you are unhappy with the current rate of fuel consumption, then obviously don't mod the car.

how many liters per 100km is calculated as follows:

  1. fill up your fuel tank to full
  2. reset your trip meter
  3. consistently drive in your regular style until it's time to fill up
  4. check your trip meter (~400-500km??)
  5. check how much fuel you put in at the second fill up
  6. the amount of fuel you put in (liters) divided by the number of kilometers travelled (in km) multiplied by 100
  7. voila you have the amount of liters used to travel 100km

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      Regardless, its peace of mind swapping the factory twins for something else. Personally if it was me: Link G4X Additional sensors for engine protection Twins Oil pump mods(maybe throw extension to sump) injectors/Pump Clutch Exhaust Oil Cooler Good pads/suspension Should be good for 3-350kw depending. Granted thats closer to 15k but still.

      My R33 never ran more than stock boost but it was unclear whether the turbos would last. Maybe OP's car is less of a question mark but for my stock turbos had over 175k km on them + 25 years of use. That's a very long time to hope nobody has ever accidentally put physical shock through them, no debris in the exhaust gas stream, no boost leaks that could cause the compressor to spin faster than it otherwise should, no oil coking in the journals, no wear scars for any reason, etc. You could pull the turbos and disassemble to inspect/overhaul as needed but for that kind of effort you may as well replace the ceramic turbine with something that can take a bit more abuse no matter what you find in there. Stock boost ceramic turbos really don't make that much power either.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      A Pillar forward?   The part above I was just looking at was the reo bar, I'd replace it, UNLESS the panel beater is GOOD. From your early photos, it did look like the chassis might be tweaked, or at the very least there was tweaks in radiator support. I'd personally do a new / second hand unmolested reo bar, and drill it, only so I know underneath the pretty painted front bar, there's not a mess of other metal that's been hit and smacked.

      Yes no yes. Pineapple rings do do a certain amount of subframe "locking up", in that they do add some resistance to lateral movements. But the primary reason they exist is to alter the driveline angle. Depending on how you install them you can either increase or decrease rear traction __ a little bit __ by changing the angle of the lower control arms relative to the car/pinion angle. The thing is, given what they are, how and where they are installed, their lack of engagement with anything in particular, there's a limit to how much benefit they can offer. The GKTech collars put metal into the space in the stock format bushes, thereby limiting how much give they have. The rubber is still there to take up some force, albeit perhaps preloaded a little by having some extra metal jammed up into it, but the increase in stiffness comes from making it so that the stock format bush can't deflect that large bit of rubber over into the space adjacent to it, in any direction. Top AND bottom. Which the pineapples certainly do not do. As I said in my other thread - I'm convinced.
