What i was thinkin..

1. JJr Turbo back exhaust w/ split dump $899.00 from Just Jap

2. Stealth FMIC $550.00 from Just Jap

3. Boost it to 10 Psi w/ Turbotech boost controller $30 from E-bay

4. Lowered with King Springs and shocks 35mm $650 from local suspension shop

5. CAI $190 from JS auto imports

6. Tune & Labour $leftover!!

Total - $2319

Also if I can save up for this week instaed of going out Front and Rear Strut braces.

Over all I want a nice lil package utilising both power and handling!

Would like to hear your thoughts.

Any other mods, seen cheaper, etc etc...all appreciated!

ask yourself how much power do you want in the end? or wat you want your car to do

and do your mods according to that

PFCs go for around 1500 these days...

if your going the power root, i highly recommend a FMIC + the turbo back exhaust MINIMUM

Pretty much what ive set above is all i want to do.

Wanna Start saving for a house...so would a Power FC be REALLY that beneficial!

Is it possible to tune with the standard computer?

What about regapping my spark plugs from 1.1mm to .08mm to overcome the flatspot?

It will need to be retuned mate,even if i had the same mods as you it would still be smart to have it retuned.

But it does have a base map in it that will get you around until you get it tuned.

pfc, full exhaust, free boost mod (search, you'll find it). fmic

or safc, full zorst, fmic, cai, turbotech, & springs

[Lazy-Bastard]

Front and rear swaybars - $550

turbo back exhaust - $500

PowerFC - NYTSKY is selling one for $1250

Turbotech boost controller - $30

FMIC - $500

Save the rest + a bit extra for a tune.

At about 12psi you should come close to 200 rwkw

Fit the parts yourself and learn something about your car

Don't just buy lowered springs, you will flog out your stock struts in no time and the ride will be shit anyway. The swaybars will make a huge difference to handling and you will retain some ride quality.

My 2c

[tuitahi]

If what you have listed is as far as you are going to take your car, I suggest the following;

Swaybars, pineapples, adjustable bushes (camber & caster), & hicas lock bar $1k

Brake pads and braided lines $400

R34 Gtt side mount intercooler $150

Turbotech boost controller $30

Turboback exhaust (I would go for a custom or second hand jap) $1k

Toshi ECU remap $400

All up $2980

Bang for bucks in terms of handling, braking and grunt.

[R34GTFOUR]

gt3076r - 1620

powerfc - 1250

gtr fmic - 250

get dump to suit your exhaust: 300

My old 33 was remapped by Toshi, was the best money I spent on that car.

on stock injectors and fuel pump... riiiiiight...

what tuitahi said is right on the money...

esp the camber and pineapples

but i wouldn't bother with the braided lines and would use the $400 for fmic

[borko08]

if ure getting an fmic.... save money on the CAI and make it yourself. it will cost u 20 bux if u buy some PVC pipes from bunnings (u can put it through the standard cooler holes) im sure it wont b as good as actually buying one..but it will be very close and with the money saved u can buy a strut bar or some petrol... also if those are all the mods that ure going to do..u might want to look into getting a jaycar digital fuel adjuster. works like the SAFC but it will only cost u like 200$ with the tune (look it up)

[GUN_METAL_GTR32]

cooler 550

exhaust 500 (second hand)

pfc (1250)

gtr injectors (200-300)

boost (free)

u dont really need cai just get a pod (second hand ones are always around in the for sale section) and like above make a cai for real cheap these days

then u have enough for a good tune and some petty

[R33Matt]

JJR Stainless Dump/Front Pipe - $250

XForce Stainless Hi-Flow Cat - $180

Fuel Pump - $160

SAFC Neo - $400

Trust FMIC - $620

Apexi Pod - $80

Total: $1690

or instead of SAFC Neo you could get a Power FC

Power FC - $1250

Total: $2540

If I had the cash this is what i would buy!

[HKS-R33]

JJR Full Exhaust (includes dump/front, stainless cat and cat back) $899

PFC $ 1250

Trust Intercooler Kit $664

Turbotech Boost Controller $30

PFC Tune ~$400

Total $3243 (Just a little bit over)

OR you could cancel out the power fc and get yourself some nice shocks, spring and swaybars.

BUT if i were you and you were never going to go any further with engine mods I wouldnt worry too much about a pfc because i dont think the power gains

will be huge. You will probably gain about 20kw and a better power curve but i dont think it will be a huge difference in noticeable power. You will get much more

enjoyment out of a few good suspension mods.
