I'm thinking that the spending govenor (aka Wife) will let me drop money for the cost of new wheels ( aprox$2-3K all in) or I could put the same amount into upgrades. Now I have a '95 GTR so the wheels aren't that bad and I could aways live with a stock looking car that might go a bit faster or handle a bit better. For say, $2,500, what would be a good package of performace upgrades? What kind of performance increase could I get?

You've already got really good wheels (maybe not looks, but light and wide). I'd stick with them and do suspension mods :)

Sydneykid's groupbuy when the shocks come back into stock. Or atleast swaybars

The s4 brown plug injectors are 550 and low impedence. 195500-1370 from memory. The later s4 red ones with same part number are high imp as well as the s5 ones 195500-2020 or 2200 (can't remember, it's been a while).

Personally, i'd go sway bars, good tyres, boost controller to add a touch of boost and stick it on a dyno for an hour to check it's safe, adjust the base timing and leave it at that.

No point changing injectors or afm at this stage. Stock injectors are good for 250kw atw at a stretch

Second stage, look at ecu and front pipes and a decent cat (there's another couple of grand) And clutch if your's is getting slippy.

Z32 AFM strangely enough comes off a Z32 300ZX.

And are S4 injectors 550 too? I thought only the S5 ones were?

z32, yeah i remember it came off the 300zx also but, i'll clarify later, wether you can get maybe a karger capacity afm from one of the other rb engines....i read it somewhere...!!!

injectors - like these ones:

http://auctions.yahoo.com/i:4%201986-88%20...ectors:11480331

Series 4 (1986–1988) was available with a naturally aspirated, fuel-injected 13B-VDEI producing 146 hp (108 kW). An optional turbocharged model, known as the Turbo II, had 182 hp (141 kW).

im unsure about series 5!? id say they'd be 550cc injectors though...they wouldnt have gone backwards would they? :)

The other thing you could do is do some go fast stuff, and just get your GTR rims painted another colour which would be far cheaper than new wheels, but would make the car a bit more individual. You would probably get away with painting the wheels (thru a professional who would blast them, clean up some small gutter rash etc) for about $400.

Just a suggestion anyway.

z32, yeah i remember it came off the 300zx also but, i'll clarify later, wether you can get maybe a karger capacity afm from one of the other rb engines....i read it somewhere...!!!

What you read was wrong. The standard RB26 AFM's are good for him there is no reason to change. He wont need to change up to Z32 or Nismo AFM's until he's changed the turbos most likely.

The Z32 AFM isn't primarily used for it's larger diameter. The main reason people switch to them is the better sensor which is more able to accurately measure higher airflow volume. The RB25 AFM is the same shape as the Z32 AFM but you wouldn't switch to it because it uses the same sensor as the RB26 AFM and the whole thing would be a waste of money because you would max out the sensor well before you maxed out the airflow capacity of the AFM.

Ive got a power fc coming for the GTR - normal AFM model.

Whywould you need Z32 AFM's with standard turbos? Overkill?

Well, a Power FC DJetro cost me a little over $2,500 to buy, install and get tuned. If you go for a normal PFC and get 2xZ32 AFM's it will come to about the same.

    • Jax Tyres Smithfeild Ive gone there a few time, well for tyres. on my 3rd visit I spoke to the dude and told how i just got slugged for rotors, brakes ect. His reply was golden; have you read whats on the front of the building. Never forgot it.       before picture, good friend got all these goodies installed.  Well time to study, servicing, maintenance all before this weekend driving lesson.  
    • Hello, first of, I’ve looked at many threads on this code but none have helped me, if you know one that will help me feel free to post a link.   Now to my problem. Recently I was driving and noticed the check engine light came on. I went home and did the test to see what code it gave. I got the 21 code but everything seems fine with the car, no misfire, idle is good, acceleration is the same as when I bought it. I mean no signs of obvious failure. If no misfire is happening I can rule out the coil packs right? Which is about 98% of posts saying it is. If anyone has had this happen and found the issues let me know please. No other lights are on.   The car WAS due for an oil change. I since then changed it so idk if that triggers code 21. Either way it hasn’t turned off.
    • Your both right, it may hold a bit longer then.  Soon I need to change the synchros, should I fit the billet plate while I'm at it? Or just a waste of money?
    • Some of the east coast US Stagea got together this past weekend at Lime Rock Park in CT for Grid Life Circuit Legends. This is probably my favorite pic of the shoot with @Morgan.Mundahl on IG. Hope we get more stags out next year! i think I spotted 5 other than my own at the event.
