i currently have a r33 s1 gtst with a cat back exhaust,pod filter and bov i was wandering what would be best do do first i was thinking of getting a front mount intercooler however i was wandering what i need to do to get a full turbo back system i dont know much so any help would be great ive been reading around and dont understand a whole lot :blink:

My list would be

1. Coilovers Or springs + shocks (can get d2 for about 1500 install in perth)

2. Heavy Duty Clutch ($800-$1000 install)

3.full exhuast ($1000-$1200)

4.Fmic ($250-$300 for a china-cooler and about $500-$600 for piping)

5.Rims (anywhere from $500 to over 2k)

An exhuast system in a turbo car goes like this

Turbo --> Dump --> Front Pipe ---> Cat ---> Tip

so basciy u have the cat-back which means to get a turbo back system u will need to buy a front pipe and dump pipe.

You can get a Dump and front all-in-one pipe for around $300-$500

-I think rims are important not becuase they make the car look good but they increase the size of tyre on your car which helps with traction, and most of the time when you get rims you buy good tyres too

How much are you looking to spend?

Cheers Michael :blink:

well i hav 17's with brandnew rubber the rims arnt special but i guess there sumthing and the suspension i bought the car from paul at autoworx and he told me the suspension was a racing type which were adjustable from what i hav felt its very hard sorry for my lack of knowledge im still young

npz sammie :blink: we all start somewhere :)

also check out http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...p?showforum=141

as there are alot of Business Traders which supply the parts your looking for.

are you from perth?

and maybe u could help me with another question i been wanting to ask but havnt posted yet, im confused with boost how it works and what boost controllers do and how people talk about 7psi,12 psi etc and how they can adjust it

if you can take a photo of the suspension tops, or the suspension itself (turn the wheel so you can see under the car more)

FMIC, will not really give you more power by itself, it will allow you to run more boost which in turn will give you more power

i say go for getting a full turbo back exhuast system and you should gave abit of power

ok i give this one a shot, im not an pro so it may not be 100% correct but should give you an idea;

a turbo compress the air flowing into the engine, so you can get more air into the engine.

Boost is basicly the compressed air being pushed into the motor, so the more boost you run the more compressed air being pushed into the engine BUT that doesnt mean you will be getting more power. each turbo has its own Efficiencies range, which for a rb25 turbo is around a max of 12 to 14psi once you go over that the turbo will not make anymore power or you risk blowing it up as the wheels inside the turbo arnt steel.

A boost controller controllers the level of boost, you can get Electronic boost controllers or Manual ones ---> EBC you can adjust the boost lvl inside the car and manual ones you have to open the bonnet and turn it

michael

alrite thanx alot um mayb in a private message or on here u could maybe explain to me about boost how it works etc psi and stuff ?

i see what else i can think of and send you a pm later tonight :blink: i uses to be a young sauwa member and i remember how much there is to learn about turbo cars and skylines and how hard it can be at times :)

after reading through some guys alot of people recomend to finish off my exhaust do you think this is a good idea ? iwant something to give a little bit more power and does anyone know roughly how much a dump pipe and a front pipe will cost me ?

great well im defintely considering buying the split dump and front pipe from the link above im not sure if i hava high flow cat i will have to speadk to the dealership where i got it from but i will do that first get the front and split since it will give me some kw's and i was wandering how come batmbl is selling it for so cheap ? i was looking at the xspeed site just a normal hks front pipe is around $600 and a turbo dump pipe is around $450 ? any reason why batmble is selling for so cheap ?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
