stock turbo :yes: don't think so

Yep.

300rwkw + stock turbos = no sale.

250rwkw, no problem. 300rwkw is way off the achieveable.

If you want 300rwkw, its a GT-SS or Garrett Equivs in a turbo change which worst case is going to cost 5k installed/tuned

HKS 2530s? yummy

Those alone (with injectors and AFM's) will give you around 325kw's @ 19psi with your current set-up. If you also add some poncams you'll increase that slightly but increase your mid-range heaps.

Then once you get bored with that you can build your bottom end and go for 360+ no problems.

If you think 300 is going to keep you happy for ever then the GT-SS or 2860-7's or R34 N1's are your best option. But you won't really get much past 260 on the stock turbo's.

I think the next mod should be to give me the car =) I'll even give you my 33 GTR V-Spec as a gesture of good will. Best mod EVER ^_^

For me...

As stated, 300 won't happen on stock turbo's safely if at all but you have plenty of options and if you can afford a 34 GTR then you'll have no worries throwing a few K at the turbo setup to get you the 300rwkw's you're after. As was also pointed out, you might need to consider exactly what power you have in mind as a bottom end build may also be required if you can see yourself wanting more than 350kw's+

Be sure to keep us posted =D

What are you wanting to use the power for? Thats going to have a huge bearing on what people will recommend.

Is it for the track?,

for the strip?

for a fast road car?

for a relaxed cruiser? ( :yes: well maybe not)

As they said on top gear on Monday (when the Porsche 911 handed a beating to 2 far more powerful cars), its how you put the power down (and where it is in the curve) that really matters :) .

I have similar mods to you (minus clutch) on my 32GTR and have 34GTR turbos. Currently 240rwkw @ 15psi. I have a few more mods planned before I hit turbos (GT-SS or N1's for 300-320rwkw), I spose I can 'hope' for 250kw with these turbos, maybe.

Tune it for 250, then see if its worth spending the extra money getting it to 300. Most people are content with 250 once they get it.

    • Kinkstah, no, coilovers aren't illegal, especially as a bolt straight in. The illegal part will be if they're altering suspension geometry beyond factory limits, or the ride height is not legal.   Sounds like the blue slipper just didn't want to deal with any later possibility of mods appearing on the car.
    • The problem has always been that coilovers are able to be adjusted, almost at any time, to be too low. Most people who ever get/got defected for/with coilovers were actually afoul of the minimum ride height rule. So the interpretation by cops/inspectors was always that it is pointless to allow numpty to raise his coilovers and get the car inspected/cleared, then just drop them back down again as soon as they get around the corner from the inspection station.  This led to the interpretation that they were illegal unless rendered such that they can't be adjusted (ie, collars welded to the body, that sort of thing). That may or may not have ever actually been the official line, but I'm pretty sure it's not considered to be a solution these days. Coilovers themselves fall under clause 3.2 b of that manual, because they are an "installation of a variable ride height system" and they don't fit the exclusions in that clause (which point to air springs and other pneumatic adjusters). So, as per previous statements, they require engineering cert to be legal on the road. Once you have such cert, provided you do not adjust them outside the height range covered by the cert, you are OK. Without, you have an unroadworthy vehicle.
    • Here E10 is the cheapest fuel. And general advice is to not use it unless you hate your car. From what I remember it clogs up stuff in the fuel system or injectors?  With US/Canada being E10 across the board, does that mean that all fuel there is terrible?
    • Sorry, are coilovers ACTUALLY ILLEGAL in NSW? They aren't in Vic, as long as they retain 70% of stock travel and the car is above 100mm off the ground. Does NSW actually have a law making coilovers actually illegal? RWC/Blue Slip/Engineering people not knowing the actual f**king laws boils my blood. Demand them to point to the documentation that states a coilover is illegal. (it may exist in NSW ) Edit: I checked. They aren't. https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-infosheet-light-vehicle-modifications-manual-suspension-and-ride-height.pdf
