so i got around 4k for my birthday and i really dont know what to do with my car.

im gonna spend around 1k for a full exhaust system but the problem is i wat a FMIC.

i was checkin out N1 in melbourne and the HKS coolers and they are around 2.3k. is that seriously worth it or should i get one of these. for around 600 (my mate says they good value)

lol....i aint gonna be like 2f2f or anything.....but i just want good quality

kinda changed my mind a lttlel tell me what u think

Get an exhaust first.

Look in the traders section for posts by "BATMBL"

But a Split front/dump pipe, and a highflow cat.

Then get a catback system made up from your exhaust shop, and get it all fitted.

yeah i think its too much. As dark said, make sure you get a decent 3" exhaust with hi flow cat. No need to go overboard with HKS or whatever

Also I have a Hybrid cooler kit and have had no problems whatsoever.

Im just about to buy some parts for my r33, so ive been looking into what to get.

I would go a twin dump/front pipe all in one (from a guy on this forum) also a high flow cat. Not sure on the rest of it probably just a 3inch.

Get a hybrid or a justjap intercooler kit.

Theres a guy on ebay selling a good boost controller for $35

That would cost around 2k

with the rest you could go for a power fc and get it tuned then you should have 500bucks to spend on a deck. Goto http://www.auaudio.com for some good deals.

hRmmms....see all this is good i can spend 2k on all that. but my questions is, is it worth the money spending around 2.5 - 3.5 k on exhaust and cooler. will i gain alot from that big of a upgrade? or only so lil

If you want more info on the cheap boost controller go here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...=73375&hl=loose

I wouldn't think they are "unsafe" you would think a EBC would have more of a chance of not working. But its just an idea if you want to use the money you save on getting something else....

I meant good tyres, good suspension, good brakes, make sure all bushes etc on the car are in good nick.

Really $4k can go far, or not really anywhere. In terms of performace I would have spent $1k max on the engine, and got the most out of it. Just doing the right mods getting good gear, and paying the right price for it. But then suspension, brakes, gearbox, everything else is up to scratch.

Just my oppinion anyway. Even split it up a bit.

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
