Just bought a 98 Skyline R34 GT non turbo 4 door which is pretty stock, im only 21 so modifications’ are pretty limited when it comes to insurance and all the rest. I want some advice as to what I should do to the car, who I should contact and how much it is going to set me back. Then I can get an Idea of what needs to be done first. Heres some pictures of it:

That was the previous owner and he did own an R33 before hand.

I also past this place nearly everyday, near the roundabout in aspendale. Anyway I got a 4-door gt-v manual, like urs, no spoiler though (please remove it, 4 doors look better without spoilers), and getting uras body kit, exhaust, sound system and that's it, springs to lower it... costing about 4k in total. Did you buy this car from someone named joe? He looks like a monkey.

full comprehensive insurance for me is $1900 a year and im 24 clean record, through just cars...

i think with mods it about a $50 buck increase to your yearly premium for every mod u do...

I first got suspension done, through the sydneykid group buy...about $1200 for shocks and spirngs:

Get full exhaust, plenty of systems out there, assuming uve got cat back....plenty of good front/dump pipes avaliable on this forum, as well as cats

I got a CES front/dump, cost $550! buts its the balls. Catco high flow cat $440...

Boost controller, heaps avaliable on this forums...

And then get a nistune chip, www.nistune.com, biggest bang for ur buck!!! my tuner got an extra 40kw outa my car with above mods plus splitfires...

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges.

      I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.

      Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....

      This makes sense. I have 2 so I'll just choose the least favourable child to perform the task.  If all turns to shit, I've still got a spare.  Win-win!
