Wondering

[JerbalR34]

Ok, so I have a 2001 25GT R34 and I was wondering what other performance parts I could easily put in it.

So far I have only got

-Exhaust

-ECU

-Intake

Thanks for your help

[mad082]

you've done all the cheap/easy stuff. from there you are left with cams and/or head work, or bolting a turbo to it

[JerbalR34]

Yeah, thats what i was thinking cams etc. I cant get a turbo because of stupid P plates.

^ if you zoom in on the label it says:

WARNING: may cause overly dramatic, suspiciously long drag races which cause danger to your manifold, causing you to end up owing some 'roided up baldy a 10 sec car with overnight parts from japan... but you do get to bang his ridiculously hot sister

^ Also will make you bolt in floor pan fall out .

In all seriousness but, its not worth the money. I've been through all this at the end of the day it better to to just wait it out. (buy a turbo engine and modify it while ur waiting)

also don't just think "performance" means powahh, look into coil overs (i have tein HAs in my 33 and it handels like its on rails), big sway bars, strut braces, sticky tires, or think about the other components that are going to.let you down later on with more power, think gearbox clutch diff etc.

Goodluck

I agree with nikk, wait out the p-plater stage before putting all the 'go fast parts' on. make it handle better, make it stop better, make your car more rigid, more reliable. coz there really is no point and no need to make more powerfull if its going to cost you a new gearbox the first time you take it to the track or a new diff because you wanted to race that wanker in the Commodore who thinks he can beat you cause he put CHEVROLET badges (which somehow adds 50rwkw) on his HOLDEN which is a v6 and has nothing what so ever to do with CHEVROLET..

I too am on my p-plates and just bought a stock standard N/A R34 and the only thing I have done to it so far is put an Australian head unit in because I do not know how to read or speak Japanese, replace front and rear speakers because they had more rattles than a paper bag in the wind and put in an amp for my sub and an amp for the speakers for a nice crisp sound..

Next on the list is coilovers and maybe some adjustable arms to get my car to sit and handle better than the stock setup so when I try and drift my skyline, it wont body roll like a 4x4 with a 12inch lift kit, after that maybe some nice rims, but not ones that say 'hey look at me, I have 20" rims skyline, but I have no tread on my tyres becuase they rub on everything known to underneath a wheel arch(except the road because my car obviously does not have the power to do so)' I could go on, but I think my point has been made..

To be completely honest, it would be wiser to purchase interchangable gear such as coilovers, arms, strut braces etc. Also whats the point on spending all your money on your N/A engine and only gain 50-75kw, when you could spend a tiny bit more and make 100kw+.. And if you think I'm heading down the wrong path, you may aswell buy an N/A VL Commodore for $500, bolt a spare turbo that you have lying around your house on the side of your engine and race your friends down a HWY that cops regularly patrol... just for fun...

And if you choose to go down the spend big money on an N/A for little gain just cause you can, give me the money instead... JUST KIDDING!!

There is a nice thread that has been pinned:

have a read, if it doesnt help you, google is your friend.. search for products, brand names etc..

my 2c.. and i hope that helps..

By law, you can't do cams either.

[M O P S K I]

also by law your car is deemed unroadworthy to have any non OEM spec parts, eg increasing the manufactured power of the engine using cams, upgrading turbos, bigger intercooler and pod filter (both together, not one or the other). etc. vicroads are very unclear on their laws, they don't use scenarios, eg. 'If you have better brakes, you are allowed to increase the power of the engine.' vicroads don't mention a scenario like that at all, they also said you are allowed to change any part of your exhaust aslong as it doesn't inscrease power and doesn't make your engine emissions worse. If you are stuck on what is legal or illegal, give them a ring, speak to the person highest in the chain, take a note of who they are and what their answers are and is possible get them to write a letter saying what you can and can't do, so then you have physical evidence so if you are ever pulled over with modifications you have evidence but ofcorse make copies of the laws and dates of the laws..

Coilovers, swaybars, decent tyres and an LSD is all you should do

[Vik]

Enjoy the Skyline with minimal / cheap mods for now. Wait out the P Plate stage and then just buy a GTT. The money you will invest in getting the car to go faster will not be worth it in the end when it comes time to sell.

By succumbing to the "mod bug" you will also run the risk of getting consistently hassled by the blue and red for modifying as well which can also increase costs by copping fines left right and centre. I've been through this, not worth it for now. Wait it out.
