Ok, so if Im reading this right the general concensus on the way to go isto fit

Electronic boost controller

Turbo back exhaust

Pod filter with heat shielding

ECU

And leave the Intercooler as the stock one is OK?

More n00b question?.

An R34 has a blowoff valve as standard doesent it?

I guess it would be pointless replacing it from both a performance and turbo surge point of view?

What about the Wastegate? I assume the stock item is fine for the job?

the pod filter will do absolutely nothing for power by the way, just so you know that all the work you put into making up the cold air partition won't do a thing for power, just looks and sound.

the blow off vlave is fine don't touch it. So is the wastegate (sort of)

Do the BOV mod as shown here Bill

costs next to nothing.

If you do not wish to hear the BOV go off, keep the airbox and replace the filter element with a K&N or Apexi etc unit.

I have a rear section canon style muffler to suit a GTT if you're interested.

I was under the impressionj that the standard box and filter was restrictive?

people often give impressions without any real facts.

Consider my car can pull low 13's all day, perhaps a 12 shortly. The standard airbox with a K&N restricts nothing. The R34 airbox is a slightly better design I believe so why bother?

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
    • Nah mate, safe as $800k apartments
