Yer but doing it that way u still pay 17k for the car itself, then add

3" stainless steel turbo back exhaust - $650

600x300x75 FMIC -$450

Apexi Power FC $800

Apexi Commander $350

Apexi EBC $450

K&N pod filter in stainless steel cold air box $150

Bosch 040 fuel pump (in tank and quiet) $200

Larger radiator (34mm thick v factory 25mm thick) -fark knows $400

Stainless steel radiator guide $100

Strut braces front and rear $150

Autometer boost and oil temp on A pillar $200

AVS model 6 17x8 front and 17x9 rear $1k

Water pump, radiator, timing belt, idler and tensioner bearings replaced at 85,000 kms $600

Thats like 5.5k hes saved right there and he can continue upgrading the car from where its at...

how about I spend my own cash, do stuff my own way like you all did, and not tell other people what to spend their money on because I think its the best way. If i spend my own cash, I know what ive done and how its been done. If i buy it already done, i dont know whats been done, how its been done and if its reliable or not. Not every car is tuned to an A1 grade (althought i trust boostworx simply because 5 other mates have).

I buy my car stock, I do it up myself so I can appreciate what its become. Thats what its all about, not just the driving experience. I'm sure Adz here didnt just buy the car to leave it that way, hell want to upgrade it, replace parts with better ones, etc.

Everyones "stuff" is the same basic setup which he has bought.

Doesnt matter if u do it now or later a pfc plugs in, and intercooler bolts in the same spot, a fuel pump goes in the same spot...

All of these parts are the same for any skyline, whether u do it yourself or someone else has has. Buying parts individually is more cost effective. The usual "its worth more as parts than as a whole comes in to play".

U do what u want....its your money after all :wub:

Its pretty hard to get a car 100% spot on by just a dyno tune.

Often than not it will ping under certain conditions, take note of those conditions/rpm/load etc and take it back for a touch up.

or.. just touch it up your self.

what would the next logical upgrade be?

ive always wanted a carbon fibre bonnet so i think that will be what i do first

Carbon fibre bonnets are defectable. Not worth the hassle and $$ of having to return the car back to stock.

Grab a set of injectors and either a GCG highflow for ~250rwkw or a GT30 .82 internal gate (requires new dump pipe and some intake mods, but it still can be made to look stock) for 300rwkw odd.

If you go the GT30 route you may want to seriously consider ripping the head off and throwing a thicker head gasket on it to drop the comp, those cast pistons are fragile, all though in a perfect world with a good tune and perfect consistent fuel it will be 100%.

Its up to him as to how he wants to modify the car - and using the forums he can figure out what he wants to do next. But the only thing I will say is - its not enough just making power, to do well on the roads and/or track, handling and all that should be looked at as well

Well???? You picked up last night yeh?? How was it??

yep last night was the night..... it was ummm..... hmmm.... f**cking incredable! so so happy wid it!! The best part about it is you can drive it like a little old lady and its comfortable as but then when you want to go fast jus hit the right pedal and its a rocket! couldnt be happier wid it!! best thing ive ever done!!

Cost more than that and i fitted EVERYTHING myself. Only thing i didnt do was tune PFC.

Gonna miss it. Glad its going to a good home. Just as well i have a GTR otherwise i would be serioulsy depressed.

If i had kept it i would have done whiteline shocks/swaybars, injectors, and 2535 or GT30.

    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
