What are some of my options,

Ill take some PICS and post as well.

P.S anyone recomendations as to tuners you would trust with your skyline in the Sydney area.

Thanks.

Welcome to SAU mate!

With the recommended workshops in the Sydney area, have a look in the NSW Section, there should be a list of workshops. Search about each workshop if you're a bit worried to get an idea of people's experience with the workshop.

Only thing I see as a 'decent' upgrade for the NA is a full exhaust and a high flow panel filter. There's not really much else to do to get some power that's cheap (as far as I know).

Thanks for the the welcome and info,

how practical is insdtalling a turbo on the N/A car?

Not too practical at all, it's generally cheaper to just buy the turbo model as it's only a couple grand more than an N/A. Depends what you want too, if want like 300-350kW your going to have replace everything on the turbo model anyway in which case the N/A would probably be as good choice as modifying the stock turbo car.

Welcome buddy and congratulations on your purchase.

Post up some pics... I would suggest, get a cat-back exhaust system, pod-filter and then get some nice rims... that'll do you for a while.

Good luck,.

welcome mate!

i wouldnt recommand to turbo a N/A engine, well to keep it simple its bad for the engine and all the rest of it.

go with a cat-back and pod as what Thien said.

have a read through the link below, it mite help you out a bit :P

if you bought the 34 cheap.... sell it and buy a r34gtt :blink:

simple.

The thought has crossed my mind and I think thats what Ill end up doing, I always have this inherint fear of buying turbo cars of people due to the fear of them being thrashed by the guy before me though.

    • In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR. 
    • For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
    • I have information on this for anyone that comes looking again. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18gsbFaYTU/ The rb25det neo from the stagea has the same sumo as rb26 and r32 gts4 (and other awd models). The sump that has caused so many problems during swaps are from the awd neo Gloria's. The casting numbers on the block and oil pans are different so this may help identify if you can't confirm where the motor came from
    • Not feasible to fix the boot lid you had? Damage looked minor/hard to even see :p Source: Drove into something recently and you should be happy you didn't!
    • Another new used boot arrived at the painters, it was sent back as there was nearly as much damage as the original one I want to replace  Finding a clean used boot lid is proving problematic, and I'm not keen on dropping $1500 on a new one from Mazda Sigh....
