Hi All,

I am fairly new to skylines and have only had my car for 2 months. Can anybody tell me about good performance guys around in Sydney.

I want to do the following upgrades:

ECU, Intercooler, Dump Pipe, Boost Controller, BOV.

Thanks

If your asking where to buy those parts, I wouldn't be looking at performance shops in Sydney. The interweb is your friend.

If your asking about installation, most of those are very easy and well covered on this forum. Consider doing them yourself if you have the time/tools as its a great way to learn and save some dosh (for more mods of course!).

As always, I'd give Nathan @ Grey Imports ((02) 9519 5150) a shout if your in the inner west area.

Lucien.

spend $900 more on a brand new powerfc, and get about 50% more power.

you serious about this comment - will a power fc increase the car's performance by a lot if you only have an exhaust and airfilter upgrades?

50% is arguable, but yes with a Power FC particularly, you can easily overcome the issues caused by the factory GTS-T engine management when you have the typical exhaust/intercooler/pod type mods and want to run higher boost.

This is just one of the many benefits available when running the Power FC, and at the price they are available for currently, they are excellent value and bang for your buck!

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
