fuel pump

Your mods don't add up to big power. Unless your existing pump is on the way out - why bother? If you do need one, there are plenty of options out there - walbro, nismo etc. You'll probably be looking at $300+ including pump to get this fitted depending on the brand of pump.

blow-off valve

Your existing blow-off valve should be fine. Changing it to aftermarket will get you defected. As you've already said you're in SA - the cops will know what they're looking for, and you will be sent to Regency for a full inspection.

boost gauge

If you have a GTT, your car should already have one.

air intake pod

Un-necessary. If you do want one - go down to Autbarn, pick up a K&N - but make sure you follow the laws and get it securely attached to the body, or this will be considered a defect.

turbo timer + auto start system

Both of these are illegal under the ADRs as they allow the vehicle to run whilst it does not have keys in the ignition. With regards the turbo-timer, it's entirely not needed with today's turbos - if you've been driving hard, and you're concerned, take it easy for the last 5 minutes of the trip and ensure your oil temperatures have a chance to come down.

Coilovers

You'll need to be careful what you purchase here. Many coilovers won't pass a Regency inspection (though you may be lucky). Typically those are able to be lowered more than legal ride height and haven't been engineered will score you a defect or not let you past a Regency inspection. Expect to pay $1500+ including fitting here.

Intercooler Kit

nistune+dyno

Both good plans here, but you'll also need to consider a full 3" turbo-back exhaust to get the most out of it. Ensure that it's of a legal exhaust noise or once again - it will get picked up by police, and it will not pass a Regency inspection.

Expect to pay $1000-1200 for the exhaust, $700+ for the intercooler (+ more for fitting, depending what you get), nistune + dyno time will probably set you back another $1000 or so.

As these are all 'go fast' modifications, I also suggest you look at ensuring the car handles and brakes better, amongst other things:

  • A good quality alarm. Every coupla weeks we see cars getting stolen. Get something good, don't park it in dodgy areas. Also look at extra security items like kill switches and club locks.
  • Upgrade your brake package - better pads, rotors, braided brake lines, etc.
  • As you've listed coilovers above, any significant lowering will require camber kits if you don't want to wear your tyres out within 10,000km. At this point you'll probably want to also fit a castor kit, and maybe stiffer swaybars.
  • A good quality set of tyres. This is your contact patch between your and the ground - most people underestimate how important a good set of tyres are to both handling and stopping.

Good luck with your car.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Meanwhile, 20+ years ago, I pulled out the 105mm hole saw and went straight down through the inner guard in front of the airbox to get my stormwater pipe cold air intake in. Right behind the two stock holes for the intercooler pipes. Those have no reinforcement (apart from a couple of robust pieces of steel pipe through them!). I feel that the Australian vehicle standards crews put way too much emphasis on "maintaining the crash performance" of cars and not enough consideration of "any crash is a new and wonderful experiment with a random selection of parameters and you will never be able to tell if an extra 80mm hole through some sheet metal caused a significant difference...but if you close your eyes and squint at the whole structure, engage your engineering brain and have a good think about it, you'd have to expect that it would do jack all."

      Car Rotisserie

      You guys are focussing on the wrong part of this post and have headed off on an irrelevant tangent!  Clearly I'm not going to put my most prized physical possession (well it will be once I'm finished it...) on a piece of shit contraption that might fail and crush me or my car!  At no point was that even implied I was trying to buy a butchered P.O.S that some shonky clown had thrown together with a gasless MIG....  Either way I would love to see the build quality of a rotisserie that has failed.  Actually I'd love to see a photo of one that has failed full stop.  Google fails to deliver.  Never happened?? I'll either make one that won't fail or will buy one that wouldn't fail! End Post.....

      Yeah, if you can't breathe for more than about 2 minutes, you're cooked.

      Troubleshooting - motor wont turn over

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, all the power should be getting dissipated across the starter motor. Therefore, ideally, the voltage drop across the earth lead should be convincingly close to zero. Certainly you'd want it to be only a volt or so at max, because otherwise that volt doesn't turn up at the starter to do what is required. A car can probably survive a bad enough earth to crank and start with only 9V or so at the starter motor, maybe even a bit less. But you're seeing only 8V at the battery terminals when cranking, so there can't even be that much available over at the starter, which simply won't do. I would have thought that you couldn't pull enough current (with a healthy starter) to make the battery drop to 8V locally. But I was ignoring the possibility that the starter is in fact crook. If it has shorted windings (or maybe the solenoid is borked and shorting to earth) then I guess it could pull a stack of current and not even look like wanting to turn over. So follow the other boys' reccos too. Because they are just as likely at this point.

      Depending where the whole gets drilled, and what country/state you're talking about, quite likely not.   Under ole vehicle mod rules in NSW, VSI06 allowed for drilling of holes in "non structural" areas. So you could drill a hole through the inner guard, and not need engineering. You couldn't drill over seams, and it was advised to add extra reinforcing around the hole, as well as something to protect from sharp edges.   Again, it's all about finding the documentation for where the mod is to be done, AND then being able to explain the situation, with the documentation as to why you don't need engineering, with a positive attitude, to any one of the likes eg, police, vehicle inspector, etc.
