Im looking at the next upgrade on the engine...

I have a stock gts25t with:

pod

10psi

racing clutch

3" cat back

things in my mind are:

turbo back exhaust

safc or new comp

fmic

Bah... If it was me I would do:

3" Front/Dump + 3" Cat (10-15rwkw)

Cover your Pod in a box with a cold air feed (keeps things cooool)

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes for HEAPS better traction)

Ex Cam Gear

Lightened Flywheel

= i dunno about $1900

No point getting an aftermarket ECU yet because you still have heaps of bolt-on mods to do that will benefit from being tuned by a better ECU.

Fane, PLaces like Xspeed will have Jap ones in stock, but there not cheap. Otherwise you can by autometer ones from AutoPro etc.

[fane]

mmm very interesting.... being new to this i didnt even know about:

Pineapples (rear cradle bushes for HEAPS better traction)

Ex Cam Gear

Lightened Flywheel

now i have some serious thinking to do

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Benm, And what sort of power are you getting from yours?

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, Rev210 swears by his lightened flywheel, I have a set of pineapples if you want to buy them, and we bought the Ex cam gear but it made no difference to my power.

[fane]

this is straight off the xspeed website

Apexi EL2 Series Gauges

these look nice anyone know whether they are any good?

[benm]

I think you need to spend an hour and read over these 2 threads:

You don't need big turbo's, aftermarket ecu's etc to make good power and speed. You just need the right combination and also need to know how to drive the thing.

Fane,

If you get a boost gauge I can help you put it in, just ask gary the top job i done on his (hehehe! my bad!)

But not this weekend

Autometer from SupaCheap ought to do, but there may be a prob sourcing a t-piece adaptor thinggy (hard to explain)

I got a Marlows one, about $50 all up, works fine

[fane]

now im after you veilside front bar and the pineapples....

i'll got he front bar first.... how much you want for it? can i come have a look on the weekend?

[ix9]

fane,

Apexi are good... if your willing to spend large fold for one... $300+ *sigh*

[fane]

thanks allot ben will do mate

thanks for your input hey...

well first things first dump pipe....and 3' cat

[ix9]

pineapples are weird, some people swear by them, other's dont. *shrugs*

I got Nismo Coilovers so i dont care just yet *sigh*

[ix9]

I can help you make a Jap Spec cat (read: Captain Flame-A-Lot) If you want

[fane]

hahha kym

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, The Apexi gauges are good:D Don't listen to Kym, he made no power for many months;)

[ix9]

It's true....I'm a reformed slow-poke....

With the extra ponies I got now, it makes the car a LOT more interesting

[fane]

i like em toooooo

might aim a bit lower tho might just see what happens...

pm me prices for your front bar and pineapple thingos

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Fane, I told you to come to the Skill Swapping day, I already promised Angel she could have it there, as she put in an offer first, sorry:( I think the Pineapples cost me $120, so there yours for the same price.

Kym, Your car is much better now:D and your flames are wicked

[ix9]

Yeh. Werd to the flames It does the whole "throwing flames" a lot less now coz of the AFC though.... but runs quite a bit smoother, so I don't care

Haha, just looked thru cam's bush cruise pics and spotted ya fane!
