IMHO - yes $5k = 280-310rwkws. Bolt on/in only.

Edit: safe for stock internals, GB, drivetrain

Is anything else required for that? ECU, Turbz, Fuel Pump and tune?

[Trozzle]

ECU+tune, turbo, fuel pump, exhaust, bigger intercooler, injectors, coilpacks, HD clutch.

Parts alone will see you hit $5,000. Then there's having everything fitted (labour, consumables, fabrication of intake piping, random shit picked up along the way), then tuning.

The bold I already have - but it seems $5,000 seems to be the number. I'll most likely do backyardy for the stuff I know I can do (By I, I mean Bro in law and perhaps Rob if he was keen to molest Rosie - which would be HD Clutch, Coilpacks haha).

Okay sweet - that's good to know - what PSI would I be running with that?

main other things Injectors, afm, clutch, also cooling coilpacks if yours are tired, dont know if stock bov limits.

Should also match your suspension and braking too, plus learn to drive with that much power.

[Pattey21]

Haha beat me to it trozzle :-)

[Pattey21]

Depends on turbo

[RosieR34]

A Garret something worth of $1,500 (If they exist) haha

Would there be extreme differences in driving when you say "Learn to drive with that much power"? I'm guessing the wet will be my worst nightmare - I hate driving in the wet as it is haha

Ask yourself;

what do want out of this car?

will you ever track it?

do you want response or just a huge pull from 4k.

Do a speed off the streets day see how hard you actually want/can push your car.

Buy better tires i too use to be nervous driving in the wet too.

I got better tires and gradually pushed my car in the wet till i was comfortable.

Doing a skid pan day can aid this too.

[RosieR34]

Ask yourself;

what do want out of this car? - I'm all about acceleration - so getting 280kw is fine with me.

will you ever track it? Might track it once - but if the supporting mods to get bigger turbz will make it more trackable - then I might track it once or twice a year

do you want response or just a huge pull from 4k. - I love acceleration and I guess power from 3k - the earlier the better I guess

Do a speed off the streets day see how hard you actually want/can push your car.

Buy better tires i too use to be nervous driving in the wet too. - I have fairly fatty tyres (275 rear) and actually feel quite safe in the wet (Also, I have traction control which is awesome ) however, Turbo + Wet never makes me feel safe.

I got better tires and gradually pushed my car in the wet till i was comfortable. 275's on the rear should be plenty of tyre?

Doing a skid pan day can aid this too - If I go down this road - I'll deffo do a skid pan day so I can safely see the cars limits.

Cheers for your input

[Sinista32]

+ Injectors, AFM in your * other category from the original list.

Pat is spot on - re ask yourself a number of questions first.

It's a $lippery slope .....

[Pattey21]

Cheers for your input

Width does not equal grip if anything your spreading the corner weights over a wider area so less downward pressure per square inch (or whatever measurement you want to use)

If you can't afford much buy an all season tires they wont be as good in the dry but you wouldnt get enough heat into them to notice even on spirited drives unless you hit the track (like ive found)

I have had 255s on the rear that i could spin up in third on the highway with a completely stock skyline and my current 235s with 205rwkw i can hold traction with a WOT 2nd gear pull (all wet conditions)

255s were uhp tires

235s all season

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE !!

Wider tyre would mean more rubber on the road. Again, I stress that I enjoy Acceleration - not much else interests me. Cornering is nice but I don't intend to speed around corners. I guess my joy is the kick back, the 0-60/100. Also, I think I'd stick with dry tyres as in the wet with high kW's - I wouldn't do anything stupid - when it rains, I'm a grandma driver and I'm happy with that becuase in the dry that's where I have the fun.

But yeah, I guess it is things I have to consider. I'll need to ponder on whether or not I want to mod. This insight has been great.

Cheers guys !

Your'e best off with a high-flow or equivalent its all about "useable power"

No point having 300rwkw if you cant use it or just budhet for speeding fines.

Eg my car is first and foremost a daily, i wont drift it but ill happily grip race it.

So i will never go beyond getting a hi-flow as i want useable power on the street and great response.

I will get suitable supporting mods and be wanting it to be reliable and fuel efficient off boost and i will want my tune to reflect this.

I will base my suspension around a grip/daily setup i run 6/4kg springs not 10/8kg ill run descent streets tires not semi-slicks as i want to feel confident driving in all conditions.

I will also mildly upgrade my brakes to support my extra power, some descent rotors and pads, all lines in good condition.

[Anfanee]

Don't know about a 34 but a 32 would be:

AFM

Fuel pump

Injectors

Turbo

Tune.

My intension is to have a bit of a power increase - enough to give it a kick with abnormal power. Whether that is 230kW or 300kW - I wouldn't know. Would having 250kW be plenty for the green light acceleration?

(I secretly want to be faster than Rob !!)

[Trozzle]

Dead serious for anything shy of 400rwkw you'd be an absolute lunatic not to go with a Hypergear turbo. Either that, or you're just a brandname fanboi - in which case you wouldn't be concerned with price lol

250rwkw is plenty for a street car, but don't go buying parts with that power goal in mind otherwise you WILL end up replacing them when you want more power....and you'll want more. Don't bullshit yourself and say you won't

get daniel to take you for a run in his r33 s1 should give you an idea

Please sir ! Can I have some maor!

MAOR!

How much are Hypergear turbz? I am a bit of a brandboi

@Pattey haha - I think 250kW should be fine

Check out my sig

It has all the parts I needed to achieve a good 250rwkw street car.

I'm going to be swapping all the parts into my 34 when I purchase it.

SS1PU hypergear is a monster and makes 20psi by 3500rpm and pulls hard.

If you wanted to go even more response then you could step down a turbo and go e85 to push 250 out of a smaller highflow.

If you get a Hypergear turbo then you get a discount on an adaptronic ECU ($1100 I do believe).

This I believe supports not having to use an AFM so you can cross that off your list and save $200-300
