Hi, I have an r34 gt-t with a stock turbo, Blitz intercooler, 3.5" apexi exhaust and K&N panel filter.

All is good and cops stop me all the time but im legal, so now I'm thinking of getting a new turbo ( Another thing what do u recommend the garrett r30 or r35?), new injectors(what size should I get?), Fuel pump (what brand?).

So, if i put all these mods how bad is it when i get pulled over?

Thanks

BTW im in Melbourne, VIC

You'd need ECU for this to work but it's doable if you hid them well. Just do a search on FI section plenty of info there.

In Victoria, apparently everything relates to motor vehicles are illegal, and it's only legal unless you get caught.

I want my car to hit 250kw or more, its currently 163 kw

Just get a high flow man...easily achieve that power level with one and it will look alot more factory than putting on a larger turbo.

So, should i just high flow the stock turbo without the other mods?

Where is a good place to do it?

See Trent @ Status/Chequered tuning. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ed-t306755.html - Contact details on this thread.

Highflow the turbo, Nismo 480cc injectors, Nistune, Nismo bolt on fuel pump, Z32 AFM and Dump/front pipe if you don't have one. That should give you at least 250rwkw.

Good call :wub: ,to the op don't do it you'll get reamed hard,my 2cents,i was down there a while ago saw lots of young peeps pulled over,if they ask you to open your bonnet your gone.

If you drive like a wanker you'll get pulled over. And if you get pulled over for driving like a wanker the cops will ping you for something regardless.

If yoou don't drive like a wanker and you car "appears" pretty stock, they will leave you be.

Even if they look under the bonnet, they won't go to extraordinary lengths to suss out your turbo, injectors and the like - unless you have been driving like a wanker.

Either high flow your current turbo or get one that is bolt on and looks pretty stock. The coppers won't care....unless you drive like a wanker.

You sir, have never had the Knox TMU on your tail :P

Wanker or not, you don't always get left to your own devices but I agree you have much more chance of getting pulled over when you are driving like a wanker.

    • Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.
    • Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?
    • Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.
    • Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out. 
    • Not to mention, that the correct diagnostic approach to "electrical thing does not work" is to start with what I outlined above. You only do swaptronics for things that can't be tested really easily, like ignition coils, AFMs, etc etc. And even then you hold your breath in case the fault that possibly killed the original unit kills the swapped in unit too.
