I had originally planned to purchase a few more items this month, but unfortunately the realities of life stepped in and, well....BILLS!!

But I have a little bit of budget left over and looking at buying the following, so am currently looking around:

1. either GT2530's or N1's

2. Coilovers

3. Power FC or F-con Pro

4. Adjustable cam gears

I was looking at an exhaust system but out of budget for now. Oh and wheels of course as they are stockies. Looking at a set of BBS LM's.

My car is stock (R33 GT-R). Coilovers are a must as 3 struts are leaking as found in the last service.

I have been looking on ebay etc. but if anyone has anything that fits my shopping list and they are looking to sell shoot me a message.

Does anyone have any idea how much this all may cost to get installed once I buy it?

Cheers.

Few holes in there. HKs gt2530s for 400+kws or n1/2860-7 for a touch over 300

A turbo swap on a GTR won't be cheap and will probably eat up all of your budget

Don't get an f-con no one can tune then in Canberra (only hks pro dealers can and closest one is in Sydney or Brisbane)

What suspension are you looking at getting? You get what uyou pay for

Bigger turbos will need bigger injectors, there is no point getting the turbos fitted and the ecu tuned only to have to retune again when you want more than the 280rwkws or do the standard ones will give, a bigger fuel pump is a must have and factor in z32 or nismo afm's they run out of resolution at around 300rwkws

Also factor in a new good quality front pipe, plus might as well change the dump pipes while the turbos are out, a 3 -1/2" exhaust or better, you might also find the ignition system isn't up to the task.

The way I would do it,

Ecu, front pipes and cat back, suspension, fuel pump and mantinance eg new ignition coils

Have it tuned At STANDARD boost on the stock turbos to make sure they live a while, whilst saving for the new turbos injectors, afm's etc

Hmmm...I have about 4-5k all up at this point.

Looking at a good condition second hand pair of HKS coilovers from a member on here.

How much is it to swap the turbo's?

Ahk. I can't say I have ever heard any thing good about the HKS suspension

The BC coilovers whilst cheap are meant to be quite good and for all accounts are the same as the GReddy type S stuff, plus they will be brand new

So your 5kbudget will get you those, get some new white line sway bars too

Will leave you 3k, so a nice set of 75mm front pipes and a 3 -1/2" exhaust will be a little over a grand

A 2nd hand pfc will be ~1000 and should leave you enough for a tune

Or leave the ecu and get some wheels :)

To buy and fit the turbos you will have no budget left or very little

So without upgrading the turbo's and doing the exhaust system and ecu what sort of extra performance would I be looking at?

Its currently making 222awkw and its stock except boost restrictor removed and boost set at 10psi and CASA has been spun.

I guess my main reason for wanting to do the turbo's is because of the ceramic standard turbo's and concern if one blows etc. Not sure if I can bump the boost up more than it currently is?

Also can anyone recommend a good complete exhaust system and where to buy them here in Canberra?

If you are buying garrett turbos or bc suspension, get in touch with street to track. Has the best prices I've come across

Exactly the link I was going to post

Spoke to him yesterday and he quoted $1135 for a set for my 33 and my neighbours 34 posted to same address.

Prices are even better if the AUS dollar gets better

So I think this is what I have decided on:

  • Front pipe
  • Cat back
  • Apexi Power FC
  • Adjustable cam gears
  • Coilovers

This will leave me about $1400 left over. Anyone have any idea whether this will pay for the install of these items?

Maybe we could do a 3 way buy and get the price down even more?

Guessing you live in the ACT so we could get all 3 sets posted to the one address..

Let me know if your interested I will be ordering mine in the next month

Shipping is quick through him as well.

But I doubt you will get them any cheaper getting them all posted to the same address. The coilovers and the box they come in weighs 45lbs and they are shipped via ups so it's expensive regardless.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I mean I can be OCD'y but this is really over the top. At that point why not just run a full wideband fuel controller? Especially if you run 3 widebands. The system works pretty well, which is trimming low load stuff to be within a few percent of the base map. Pre-engine _change_ the base map was only 1-2% off, depending on ambient temp, elevation, etc. Under load the LS is really very straightforward to tune, enough that a wideband closed loop would be overkill. If I really cared (and I hope I don't) I can always just go back to the MAF system the car actually came with. Which does all those nice calculations for me (temp, altitude, etc), now that you can buy 102mm MAF's that do not cause restrictions.

      I'd be installing 2x widebands and using the NB simulation outputs to the ECU.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Nah, it's different across different engines and as the years went on. R32 era RB20, and hence also RB26, the TPS SWITCH is the idle command. The variable resistor is only for the TCU, as you say. On R33 era RB25 and onwards (but probably not RB26, as they still used the same basic ECU from the R32 era), the idle command is a voltage output of close to 0.45V from the variable resistor.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      It's actually one of the worst bits of Nissan nomenclature (also compounded by wiring diagrams when the TCU is incorporated in ECU, or, ECU has a passthru to a standalone TCU).... the gripe ~ they call it the TPS, but with an A/T it's actually a combined unit ...TPS (throttle position switch) + TPS (throttle position sensor).... ..by the looks of it (and considering car is A/T) you have this unit... https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/2262002u11 The connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit, is the TPS (throttle position sensor) ...only the TCU reads this. The connector on the unit body, is the TPS (throttle position switch) ...ECU reads this. It has 3 possible values -- throttle closed (idle control contact), open (both contacts open, ECU controls engine...'run' mode), and WOT (full throttle contact closed, ECU changes mapping). When the throttle is closed (idle control contact), this activates what the patent describes as the 'anti stall system' ~ this has the ECU keep the engine at idling speed, regardless of additional load/variances (alternator load mostly, along with engine temp), and drives the IACV solenoid with PWM signal to adjust the idle air admittance to do this. This is actually a specific ECCS software mode, that only gets utilized when the idle control contact is closed. When you rotate the TPS unit as shown, you're opening the idle control contact, which puts ECCS into 'run' mode (no idle control), which obviously is a non-sequitur without the engine started/running ; if the buzzing is coming from the IACV solenoid, then likely ECCS is freaking out, and trying to raise engine rpm 'any way it can'...so it's likely pulling the valve wide open....this is prolly what's going on there. The signal from the connector on the flying lead coming out of the unit (for the TCU), should be around 0.4volts with the throttle closed (idle position) ~ although this does effect low throttle shift points if set wrong, the primary purpose here is to tell TCU engine is at idle (no throttle demand), and in response lower the A/T line pressure ... this is often described as how much 'creep' you get with shifter in D at idle. The way the TPS unit is setup (physically), ensures the idle control contact closes with a high margin on the TPSensor signal wire, so you can rotate the unit on the adjustment slots, to achieve 0.4v whilst knowing the idle control contact is definitely closed. The IACV solenoid is powered by battery voltage via a fuse, and ground switched (PWM) by the ECU. When I check them, I typically remove the harness plug, feed the solenoid battery voltage and switch it to ground via a 5watt bulb test probe ; thing should click wide open, and idle rpm should increase... ...that said though, if it starts & idles with the TPS unit disconnected, and it still stalls when it gets up to operating temperature, it won't be the IACV because it's unused, which would infer something else is winking out...
