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 :)

here are link to a dump + front pipe

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

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

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 ?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
