What do i want:

I think immediate concerns are pissing whatever crappy brakes i have for the front, full brake flush, disc machining, and some good / expensive pads like greenstuff. A Strut tower brace would help front end handling (shithouse at present). A camgear will go in at 100,000km service (and its up to 97k). Some nice rear tyres i need sometime soon to get a mid-low 13sec time.

OK well I have spent a truck load since I bought my GTR last October & all those that know me will vouch that I've driven it about a dozen times since....  Here's a list of mods/repairs:

Motec M800 ECU

Motec Boost Controller

2 reconditioned High Flowed R33 GTR Turbo's (blew them both)

Replaced all the oil feed lines & tubes

Installed new oil filter housing gasket (none there!!!!) & inlet manifold gaskets

Replaced all plugs/leads

Reground cams

Replaced timing belt

New tyres

Adapters (spacers)

Clarion Headunit & Pioneer Speakers

New exhaust, one with a cat converter....

and on & on she goes......

Anyways one step closer

Cam :D

And becuase of that I have only driven it twice...

Ok my mods, well after that huge list of others mine seems pale in comparison...

I bought my 96 Ser II off my girlfriend, yes you read that correctly about 6 months ago...all it had was a 5Zigen exhaust cat back...with s15 mags...

Since then,

Malpassi Rising Rate Reg

Front Strut Brace (old one was removed by prev owner...rear remained)

Pod Filter (CAI yet to come...)

Repainted front bar...hit a ditch on a farm...

GFB Stealth BOV

18 Inch wheels that some GTR owner wants but unfortunately wrong offset so won't fit over the Brembo's...

Painted Calipers Red for some rice (and did it myself Joey...)

Rewired the Turbo timer and Viper alarm...

Have sitting in the lounge room...

Heavy Duty Daiken Clutch

Set of Iridium Plugs to go in when I pull the intake off to polish the cam covers...

Next on the list is...

Full exhaust turbo back leave standard dump as not changing turbo

Boost Controller after FMIC

Springs and Shocks

Not going overboard as yet, I have spent WAY to much money on cars in the past and now with a mortgage its a little hard...

    • how do you know voltage is fine?  quick easy test is connect DMM up and put it on max/min mode, remove fuel pump fuse, crank car for 3-5s, go check min voltage You'd be surprised how many "healthy" batteries are showing under 10v during this test in cold weather. 
    • Not properly. You need to be able to dissipate 100 amps or so to doing it meaningfully. You can do it indirectly by watching to see how far the voltage falls during cranking. Unplug the coils or something else to prevent it from starting so you can get a good couple or three chugs. It also helps if you have the multimeter set up reading before you start, and that it has max/min functions. So you can catch the real minimum without having to watch the screen, which often doesn't update fast enough to show the real max/min in dynamic situations. Or use a digital oscilloscope, which can be obtained for <<$100 from Aliexpress (although I'd argue for paying up to ~$200 for a nicer one). A >4 yr old battery will very likely be well down the path to the knackery. Many only last 5-6 years these days. The cold weather lately will definitely make it worse.
    • Hmmm, what do you mean by getting weaker? And where did you get that test done? I've been wondering about my battery because the cold starts crank super slowly. The voltage is fine. Not sure if cranking amps can be checked at home. Battery is 4+ years old.
    • No. The simplest wastegate hookup, with no solenoid or other form of "boost control" (ie, control over your boost control, if you know what I mean) is a single hose, direct from the turbo outlet/hot pipe, straight and only to the wastegate actuator. It is that pressure signal that drives the wastegate to open, providing the boost control (and by "boost control" here, I mean, limiting how high it can go, which is essentially the spring pressure of the actuator). You only end up with tee pieces and alternate flow paths once you start adding things to the boost control system to allow you to determine how much of that boost signal makes it to the actuator. There are so many ways to do that that there is no single way to run the hoses and tees and the like. If you have a stock boost solenoid, then all it does is either allow all the boost signal to go to the actuator, or open up to allow some of it to bleed off. There needs to be a restriction in that bleeder to allow only a small amount to bleed off. And in a stock system, that would then be plumbed back to the turbo inlet (for "emissions control" reasons). That is actually what that nipple on your BOV return pipe could/would be for. If you have an aftermarket boost controller and solenoid, then the above is mostly true, but there is no need for a restrictor in the bleed, because the solenoid is pulse width modulated to create a variable bleed off. The air that escapes from the bleed can either be vented, or also returned to the turbo inlet. For emissions reasons it should be returned to inlet, but the amount of air being vented is so small that it really doesn't matter (either from an emissions perspective, or from an air-fuel ratio affecting perspective).
    • And other times you just need to go buy bigger injectors?
