Forged internals and wind up the boost as ive done just about every thing else.

Brakes-done

Suspension-done

Bolt ons-done

Remove stupid 400r bar and replace with standard bar to give me that extra 25mm so i can get into my driveway-done

252kwatw at 14 psi now on a conservitive tune but with forged internals and more boost with a nice tune after run in = ???????kwatw

Im hoping for 1 bazillion & 11kwatw

GO RB25 GO

SMOKE THEM BAGS.

Take it to Eastern Creek for some laps and a couple of 1/4s.(hard as coilovers so lots of wheel spin i thinks)

Hope i dont break it to quickly

Also buy a old Vaiant and rebuild it, ie VF-VG, my missus said i could do it, but she said it cannot bounce around when i drive it because it make her boobies jiggle, guess that means soft suspension.

Work to make her pretty too.

19" GTC rims sitting here will be matched with tyres and mounted on!

JJR bellmouth will be bought and mounted once they open - my split dump will be for sale too btw. CES OPTION.

I hope to mount a full body kit to the car - z tune for GTT but unsure if this is still avaliable.

Drop it on its ass and enjoy it - may look into sway bars as I feel it still moves to much on hard cornering.

Happy NY!

new computer, boost controller and tune on monday.... bring on 500hp!!!!

then in lyk a month or 2

sway bars, new slotted rotors all round,braided lines, r34 gtr seats, short shifter, carbon mirrors, bonnet, wing blade, b pillars, radiator air guide, series 3 gtr lower lip and sum other stuff i cant remember atm

Sh!t load of work going on the government should get the cops off our asses due to the amount of money we pour into our cars hence helping the economy which at the moment is a bit fcked, looks like most of us are in the same boats, every bolt on engine part done all we can do is keep upgrading haha

Hmm, I got a voucher from my oldies and my sister for Xmas, so I think that's going to go towards an EBC. Other than that, here's some things I'd like to get done to the wagon over the year, depending on available funds:

  • priority #1 - get the air-con working again ASAP as it hasn't worked since fitting the PFC (long story short, there was no PFC made to suit a Stagea, so there are a few gremlins to sort out);
  • get some GT-R seats and re-trim the rears and door cards to match;
  • get a rear wing, probably just the regular Stagea one or maybe the 260RS version;
  • re-do the stereo - new head unit (probably a single-DIN DVD player with reversing camera), replace speakers, add amplifiers and a sub, and sort out any rattles;
  • get some engine bits coated and maybe try and tidy up the engine bay in general, which may hiding some of the wiring;
  • upgrade brakes to R33 GTSt/R32 GT-R units front and rear, with braided lines - should make it much easier to replace pads when the time comes;
  • replace turbo (if it blows) with a GT-RS or something similar with good response, and get some more minor work done for more power and response overall...

- get my motor sorted

- fit my new plenum, injectors and my ebc

- tune

- sort out my rear suspension + tyres

- new front bar + respray the car

- FINALLY hit some track days

- get into the 11sec 1/4 bracket

I've been thinking of a double din DVD player with gps but I get put off everytime the gps images look crap don't wanna invest 1k for a pioneer one when an eBay 1 for 500 will do the job, some look real nice but I always end up putting it off

Buy my 1st car, R33 GTS-T (Black, Series 1 pref. Type M)

Install Turbo-Back Just Jap Hyperflow exhaust with an extra mid muffler

Install Hybrid Spec RS Intercooler Kit

Install Turbosmart Dual Port BoV

Install Just Jap SR3 Style Seats

Install Boost Gauge

Install Aftermarket Suspension (slight lowering)

Install aftermarket ECU (most likely a piggy back E-Manage for now)

Maybe Purchase and Install Speedy Cheetah's/Volk GT-C's/Starcorp Racing Fusions (19")

Thats bout it for L-Plates and P-Plates whilst I save up for the big build (see plans in newb intro)

    • How's your first born doing? 😛 As for now what? Time to forget about it for 12 to 18 months while your go down a totally unrelated rabbit hole... 😛
    • Fuse taps are perfectly fine to use, especially when you're adding stuff for your own car, and so long as you're being smart about it. IE, don't throw a 30amp circuit, onto a circuit that is only a small circuit. It's best to add a small circuit, to one that is already quite large. Oh, and make sure you're not going to blow the fuses that are further upstream too! I dislike their use in other applications, such as alarms, telematics/tracking devices etc, as it's far too easy for someone to unplug them and render a system useless. Those sorts of devices I go for wiring in quite secretively.
    • Fob is all cleaned up and it’s working well!! The amount of Vegemite looking sh*t that was in there is mind blowing 
    • Given it is temporary, I bought a  cheapy gauge mount (which has become enflattened) which I will screw into the existing phone mount Also a first for me; given this is a temporary install I could not think of any reason not to use one of those "add a fuse" thingies to source the battery and IGN power. I had always figured they were pretty dodgy but having a good look at them I think they are a valid option for sourcing power from an existing source without cutting 
    • Finally for now, a bit more work on the transmission temp gauge. I was wondering how Raceworks do a gauge for $100 that autometer want $500 for. No idea about the accuracy of course, but they have cut a few corners that made things hard.  First one I mentioned above, the sender is physically difficult to fit and doesn't work with their own adapters (the extra fittings I used to get the sender into a hose cost more than the whole gauge, lucky I had stuff in the shed) Second, the temp sender wires are way too short. They are shown as 2.7m on the box and I know my routing was long from navigator headlight to driver's firewall back to centre console, but I had to lengthen them by about 2m total - 2 joins in each wire. Also, same with the supplied power loom, they needed about an extra 1m to get the fuse box where I sourced power. Another join in each wire since one end wasn't supplied terminated. I know they could argue that the wires might be long enough depending on situation, but when you consider parts and particularly labour, it would be a very expensive cheap gauge if you can't do the work yourself. And, only a small issue....but it would have been nice if they remembered to tap a tread onto *both* spacers they supplied for the bracket....I haven't had to use the M4 tap often!
