hey mate, do a search of the forum it will provide all the information you will need.

also build your car up slowly, till your confident, a turbo car doesnt react/drive the same as a NA car :)

some items you'd need off the top of my head would be, full exhaust, fmic, fuel pump, piggy back ecu, good tune. all the parts you buy are only as good as the tuner your using :D

i was at eastern creek last week and i ran a 14.4 but also there was a s2 which he had said it was stock which i couldn't see any mods, didn't have a intercooler or anything like that had the factory SM, he ran a 13.7 stock, i think it may be that he is just a good driver

Don't waste your money on a bov.

All you need is an exhaust + dump pipes etc. (2nd hand will do, find at a jap importer/wrecker, 3.5" will be big enough - no canons please!) and a A'pexi power FC/Greddy E-manage. Get it tuned by someone reputable. Stock cooler is fine for stock boost, maybe if you can get a cheap GTR intercooler that would be the cheapest way to get into high 13's. Then you'll be looking at new clutches, tyres.

If you spend a little more, FMIC will do the trick, boost controller (stock turbo doesn't like being boosted though), fuel pump when you get past 200kw.

Keep in mind its not all about power, driver skill/reaction and good suspension and tyre choice will get you over the line.

Just see how you got adding one thing at a time.

stock car:

Lower rear tyre pressures, find a good launch point and away you go.

add exhaust, repeat

add ecu, away you go.

      Honestly, for a daily I would gladly rock a Camry. The more disposable the better. People drive horribly out here and road conditions are awful.

      Shifting questions

      Verify it's going into each of the 4 gears in normal acceleration, make sure the torque converter locks up over ~65-70 kph or so at low throttle opening. If you ease into the throttle at those speeds eventually you should get a "gear" between 3rd unlocked and 4th locked. It should downshift eventually if you floor it at 65 kph too. Get some Matic D ATF and drain the pan, check for signs of sadness in fluid and drain plug magnet. Top off to the correct level afterwards. If the transmission is worth saving you can drop the pan on a second drain and change the filter while you're at it. These are not complicated transmissions, at least compared to modern stuff.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By MBS206 · Posted

      A seat I find stupidly comfortable to sit in is the one in a friend's Merc Race Car. It even has the huge wings that wrap around your head. Best ever. Only issue is climbing through his scaffolding he put up in the doorway of the car... Ha ha ha. I sat in that seat for a couple of hours doing wiring. Another stupid comfortable seat I find, especially if my back is aching, is my OMP fixed back bucket seat too. I'll just sit on it when I'm exhausted in the garage sometimes to relax!

      I just got off the phone with Dean from Vosta in Brisbane. They are the ones that do the replica seats and they have a shop full of seats for my to try out. Lovely guy.  I haven't decided whether to go genuine or replicas, I'm leaning towards Genuine at this point but who knows.  Also thinking the STRADIAs are the way to go VS the GIAS since they have a lower hip edge and would be easier to get into. Don't really like the idea of arm rests on the models to the right of this diagram either, maybe they can be removed?

      From my own first hand experience, keeping power for a fun Street able skyline down at a responsive low 200 wheel KW, is the best. It makes it super drive able through the twisties, you're not just smashing mass wheel spin, or only able to open the throttle for a split second before being at absurd speeds. That said, plenty of people like being morons at more than double the speed limit on public roads and hence are happy with 600whp and seeing 200kmh fly up frequently and fast. Also, at that low 200, a GTR can still do a decent quarter mile, and with a bit of fancy  clutch work (foot, not the parts) can still beat many many cars in a traffic light gp, even in the wet.
