All of the above and try multiple throttle bodies. Can't get a much tougher look than six big fat trumpets hangin off the side of your engine. Great amounts of torque, bulk rev,s huge noise, if you don't have an airbox, and the crisppest throttle response you've ever had. Trust me it's the way to go. Done it on my old car..:burnout:

I'm definitely interested in multiple throttle bodies provided I can get them cheap! Roughly what are they going for($)? What's this about an airbox? What exactly are the benefits? Do they noticeably or measurably add to performance? Are they legal in VIC?

http://www.wheelweights.net/ has some good info regarding wheel weights, both factory and aftermarket rims.

Has anyone actually fitted lightweight, forged rims (ie TE37's or something)?? If so is there a noticable increase in performance? I have put off getting rims for a while now because I'm unsure if it's worth the extra cash to get forged lightweight ones?

Thanks guys,

Greg

seriously, the most i'd do is:

pod filter with box and CAI

extractors, high flow cat and exhaust

lightened flywheel and clutch

and thats probably it. unless of course you have heaps of cash. i've only done the pod filter and cai, and i'm considering extractors and exhaust. but then on the other hand, i think i'm better off just getting a turbo! turbo's the way to go :D

atm im saving for extractors (hard thing to do when you have no job) then later on change cams or something, then after that save for rb30 bottom end and probebly leave 10:1 compression and not put a turbo on, unless i do want to put turbo then i will change some plans

hey doxximus, where are u planning on getting extractors from? i haven't heard of any place in melbourne which sells them for rb25de, except for Ringwood Exhaust. they custom made some, and i don't think they were that great. so i'm wondering where u can get some jap ones from...

I run Volk racing 17s at the track, and they improve performance out of site. It is much easier to lift them and bolt them on to the hubs :P

Real benefit - can't tell:D

Well when I did my EFI set up om my old Datsun it cost about $2500 for the whole lot. That included new Wolf3d, injectors, throttle bodies ( 2x 45mm dcoe style), all linkages and Tps. Never heard an engine yet that put out as much induction noise as my old car. Sounded absolutely awsome!!!!! It's not the cheapest way to go but it all depends on how much you can spend and what you want out of the car...

this is slip, not la la.

greg: the extractors were on the car.

Motavation i believe, with 2.25" all the way to the tip after the 6-2-1 extractors.

no2 - engine makes more power because of it, same as putting a turbo on it. Improper fuelling and excess power through stock components i can see being a problem but i fail to see why it would destroy your engine more than a turbo setup with the same power gain, except the turbo may put more strain on the engine due to its constant power making nature, unlike no2 which is user-controlled.

feel free to tell me im wrong.

I'm thinking of dumping a Toyota SC14 From a Toyota 1G-GZE, 2.0 Litre SuperCharged Engine. $350.00 I thikn it has more to gain from a supercharger than a turbocharger... besides, it'd be sumfin I've never driven b4, a supercharged Jap import. But that's in about a year's time.

Right now I want a GTR style front lip (thing that goes under u're bumper)

can you do me a favour and get prices on a piece of silver mesh (like your's to cover the front of my spoiler? And also a bottom lip for a R32 GTS/GTSt if they have one.

I am probably going to order the A'pexi N1 exahust (60mm piping) from perfectrun.com.au in the next week or so. Does anyone have this fitted to their car? If so, what do you think of it? Excessively noisy or droney? Also, has anyone ordered stuff from www.perfectrun.com.au before? THANKS!

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
