Alrite fellas I need some ideas,

im gonna be paying for the car on wednesday it looks like it when the report from the RAA comes to me 2moro night. then ill have 3 or so grande left over to mod it a bit, its sitting at 153kw and it has aftermarket air filter and after market exhaust. has 2 BOV sitting in it too but 1 is disconnected. I am getting rid of the blitz BOV and the other one (i forget what it is cause i am skeptical) but I'm asking the people. what would you do to a stockie when u got 3 grande. and no i dont want after market rims n shit cause i get free rubber for the stock rim size from bridgestone. (family rates pretty much). im not big on show i mean ill lower it a bit but im more interested in power, and sleeper look. Also, to make this SA specific, who are the guys to see for their individual specialities on mods.

would suspension/ FMIC and external waste gate be on the order top of the list?

why an external gate....................you do know what they are?

You've basically answered your own questions. See sydneykid for the groupbuy on suspension and one of the sponsors will do you a good deal on an intercooler kit which should leave you some cash to get it installed if your not too mechanically minded and if you have enough free cash get a fuel pump.

Ok, here is the stock list you need to get the power you want

Exhaust - (u have it already) but make sure you have a split dump pipe on it

Cold air intake - You could add a pod in a box (ie Maxx's group buy) or just get a decent panel filter for the stock box (good for over 200rwkw and the cheapest option)

Intercooler - Dont need anything too special, just a reasonable front mout will do the job.

Boost controller - a simple bleed valve if the budget is tight, but some of the electronic ones are available at great prices (especially second hand) and are well worth the cost as they offer much etter control and protect against oost spikes and drop off.

Fuel pump - if yours is stock and the car has over 80,000km its probably going to struggle with the bigger horsepower, so check it out and replace if necessary

Electronic fuel and ignition management - I prefer the PFC, but their are other options (again second hand is fine)

Dyno the whole lot once all of this has been installed.

As mentioned SydneyKid has a great group buy on suspension, but if cash is running out at least invest in a set of pinapples.

This setup also gives you a sound base if you want more power in the future - just add a new turbo, and perhaps bigger injectors or a rising rate fuel regulator.

If the car is close to 100,000km you will also need some cash for a new timing belt and water pump.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this guys, i will remember it, will follow this advice for any skyline i end up getting, either the one 2moro or if that doesnt work out, the stock one ill buy after christmas.

Insurance would be the first mod i would be doing :/ if you werent planng on that. Apart from that the usual

cold air intake

clutch

fuel pump

intercooler

exhaust

boost controller

aftermarket computer

these arnt listed in any order but with the lot you should hopefully be around the 200 rwkw range :laugh:

Thats the way SAZilla... Don't jump in to buying something if it doesn't 'feel right' Even though its so hard not too. ;)

hey fellas im looking in autobahn catalogue here and its got Greddy FMIC kits for ~750-800 mark, if you guys have seen this one, you think its a good buy for quality? im tending to pick only good quality parts for my new car. i heard u can get FMIC kits for as low as a few hundred.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
