hey dude the cops cant touch you even if you hi mount the turbo and up grade to a t88 for example.

because the car came out as a turbo car. it can have any turbo you want on it. as long as you have it all plumbed in right eg(afm or air filter connected,screamer pipe plumbed back in and BOV plumbed back in) i know cause i just went through all that bullsh#$%t and got through no worries.

im runing a hi mount TD06-25G and i had no worries!!

as you can see the turbo looks alot higher than it is in first photo but in the second photo it all blends in.just some of the magic that secretgarage can do!!! give them a call.

if you have any questions on turbo installations call kurt or andrew from secretgarage on 0405982775 and they will be more than helpfull in all aspects! they did my car! :thumbsup:

Mate you couldnt be more wrong on Victorian law if you tried.

ANY turbo change is ILLEGAL if found.

^^ yeah thats what i thought too.. i think i even read it that any aftermarket turbo is illegal so what if u get pulled over and they see a high mount you get defected straight away for aftermarket turbo and have to remove it?

Justa32: did a quick search the last thread with a 'ax53b70' was from 2005 lol, that Garrett GT28RS looks pretty good straight bolt on brand new for $1800, that seems like the right price to pay wish i could get a 2nd hand but their not floating around alot with the T3 flange its mostly the T25 flange GT28RS/GT2530.. the HKS GT2530 with T3 flange new is alot like $2200 USD new from HKS so the $1800 AUD brand new with T3 flange which is pretty much the same as the GT2530 seems like the way to go

Heres what ive got so far to hit 220-230rwkw:

Front Mount Intercooler - Done

HKS POD - Done

3" Catback Exhaust - Done

Turbotech Bleed Valve - Done

Stock Airbox - $150

Garrett GT28RS T3 Flange - $1795

X-Force 3" High-Flow Cat - $199

Gktech 3" Dump/Front Pipe - $239

GTR Injectors + Resistors + Cleaned - $600

Installation - $?

Undecided: Power-FC w/HC - $1400 or Dr. Drift/HPF Re-Map $?

Undecided: Tomei Cam Gears In+Ex - $365

Undecided: Electronic Boost Controller (Dont Know Which One To Get Yet) $400ish?

Total - $2983 without Installation or Undecided items

What do you guys think of this setup for 220-230rwkw?

How much is installation gonna end up costing me? (Excl exhaust/airbox/EBC since I can do that myself or get help)

How much would Dr. Drift charge for a re-map/tune?

Thanks

Mate seriously the only way to learn is Pull the shit off, and get your ass into reading mode on the forums. It's how i know so much. Rip the shit out, find out the info you need, then put it all on. Really, it's common sence. But whats commen sence is to me, might not be for you. There is no need to pay some mechanic for a direct bolt on tubo, seriously. hardest thing for you will be changing the oil and water lines, seriously. Just use your head, plug and play computers are piss. When times get tuff, i bought a microtec LT8 for my RB20 cause it was cheap, downloaded a pin out diagram and wired it all up myself. And im far from a sparky. If you are really interested in cars, try do most of the work yourself or you'll just be one of those guys that know half the wrong information cause you listen to dribs and drabs of what your local mechanic said to the bloke beside him. Now go get your hands dirty and learn for yourself my friend! Look into the turbo upgrade thread for results and what people have for mods. 25 turbo, remap, bit more boost, dump/front pipe, cat.. will be great for a fair while.

^^ yeah i know what u mean but to be honest i just dont trust myself enuff to do shit like this.. im not that confident messing around under the bonnet.. i dont even know half the terminology and forums can only teach u so much.. i know theres heaps of info just that i couldnt really wrap my head around it unless someone who knew what they were doing was with me pointing shit out, coz i really wouldnt know what im looking at.. beleive me i wuldnt pay for shit i could do its just that i'd prefer to pay to get it properly done by someone who knows how to do it other then me fiddling around ringing people asking them to come down and show me whats what

Sorry Lance had a busy weekend - will try and help you out if I can

Umm for tune - Apexi PFC $1,400 (if you can find one) + about $500 for 5 hours dyno time to have it tuned

REMAP - Dr. Drift charges about $500 including chip + tune

CEF11E does REMAP'S also which are very good - he charges less than Dr. Drift

I'd probably suggest CEF11E for the tune if your not looking and spending about 2k on ECU + tune

All good abu no hurry man.. hmmm so u think CEF11E instead of Dr. Drift? Yeahh just with the amount for the turbo and how much its gonna cost for installation just gonna be too much if i get a PFC.. Dr. Drive is real time tune yeah? What about CEF11E? Does he do real time incl. dyno runs etc.?

Yeah i sent CEF11E a pm so we'll see how it goes.. how much do you think i'll be paying to get all the new parts installed? Any recommendations of where to go around our area?

Oh and do you think the GTR injectors would be good for around 230rwkw? I was thinking of just spending the extra $100 and getting new SARD 550cc injectors insteada what ya rekon?

Also think the adjustable cams (IN+ex) would make a big difference?

GTR injectors will be more than enough - save the extra $100 and use it for something else

Don't pay any more than $300 for GTR injectors + cleaning + resistor pack

For $300 you should be able to get your hands on some R34 GTR injectors

Not sure who can install it all man - I do all my own work so can't really say who's good and who's not

I could maybe do the injectors and resistor pack - won't do the turbo because its too much work. I will let you know how I go with my injector and resistor pack install - ifs its not too hard I will do yours for a small fee

Hmm its just that most GTR injectors are about $250-300.. cleaning is $150 and resistor pack u told me new $150? So looks like im looking at $600...

Sure you dont want to do turbo and injectors for me for a medium sized fee? =P i know u love skylines man u know u want to do it for fun haha

baha na no more turbo replacements for me at the moment

I only just finished mine last night - still need to do a few little things like hook up my ECV, install injectors and resistor packs but I CBF now

Yeh new resistor pack I can get for you - if you get a reasonably new set of injectors then you won't have to get them cleaned, eg if they were removed off the car last week but just to be safe its probably best while there out

lol damn i thought you installed it last week.. im thinking about getting an ECV too.. dont want to have too loud an exhaust, is that the one where u flick the switch and the exhaust gets quieter by 10dB or so?

yeahh i'd rather just pay to get them cleaned + flow tested + new rings for $150 just to be on the safe side dont wanna go messing around having to take them out again and shit.. but yeah i dont mind you doing the injectors for me... exhaust i can do.. just need to find somewhere/someone to install the turbo for me.. no way im messing around trying to install that lol

lol RE Customs or something should be able to do a turbo install for you - probably starting price would be about $200

Yeah ECV is attached to a cable which you put and it closes a flange in the exhaust which quietens your exhaust right down

Mine is 3" turbo back with just a high flow cat so its pretty damn loud - EVC helps it heaps

damn lol.. yeahh i think i'll definately have to spare the extra cash to get one incase i am driving past a cop or something.. whats happens if u get EPA'd anyway? do they see it on there and tell u to take it off or do they do the test with it on? where did u buy your EVC from and how much? looks like another modification to add to the list lol

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
