Hey guys, im getting my car fixed after the last drag day when my clutch let go (or whatever it was that let go) and im going to go out and buy all the mods now so i can do it all at the same time. Basically im only posting this because im not sure on the "detailed" information that is needed for mods such as "what cc injectors" or "which cams to get". Ive got a 5k budget including tune + labour.

So what im after:

- i want to have not much more then 300rwkw

- want to hit a high 11sec 1/4 mile, car has run a 12.3sec as is

- keep in mind it will be a daily driver as well

- i want turbo lag to be minimal with a good strong mid range punch

What i currently have already (that would make a difference). currently running 250rwkw (dyno sheet is in the RB26 turbo upgrades sticky):

- mines ecu

- full turbo back exhaust

- slide hi flow rb26 turbos

- k&n panel filter

- os giken twin plate clutch & flywheel

- hks evc 3 boost controller @ 15psi

- splitfire coilpacks

- JJR hardpipe cooler kit

Im pretty happy with the brakes & suspension setup i currently have, got a few upgrades to make here and there but this is excluded from the budget.

This is what i have planned so far:

- power fc - ~$1500 inc tune

- injectors (what cc/brand?) - ~$1000 installed

- fuel pump (looking at a bosch 040) - ~$400 installed

- cams & cam gears (type/brand?) $?

anything else ive missed? i dont think i will need to upgrade the air flow meters for the power im after (under 320rwkw) and i dont really want to open up the engine other then the cams, unless something is really needed.

Thanks guys.

5k? Thats more than you need :closedeyes:

PowerFC - $1500

Injectors - Nismo 550/555 - PT# 16600-RRR60 - $750-$800, then whatever for installation

Fuel Pump - $320 installed i wouldnt pay anymore than that for a Bosch pump install, its a 20min job and the pump costs $220

Adj Cam Gear - $200 installed

Tot - basically 3k

You might have a 100 here or an extra 100 there. But 3k will get ya over the line without a drama.

Nismoid I think your a little under with the Cam gears quote. 2 gears and instal at $200???

AFM's are not needed for what his chasing. I would not be worried about cams either and like others suggested use the money on a decent set of tires if you havent already got them.

Seen good and bad tunes coming out of bel as of late, dunno what the go there is. I fixed up a tune on a 180sx today that was done there, Owner was most disapointed in the results.

I did say give or take a 100 here or there (just add 100 on if thats the case)

Cant be spot on everything all the time :P

Modified stock ones IIRC are $150 i can get them for.

Not sure if thats RRP or whatever though, i dont stay on the prices all the time ;)

So you wouldn't bother with replacing the fuel rail? air filter? or even replace stock flywheel & clutch?

PowerFC? I've never heard of it (Being new here and all), so I'm guessing that is an aftermarket ECU right?

Mark. If take the time to read the first post, you'll see the parts that hanyou already had on his car.

These include a better clutch, panel filter upgrade among other parts.

These were left off the list because he does not require them.

If you have never heard of a PowerFC, i suggest you spend a lot more time reading. Its the most common choice of ECU on a Skyline :nyaanyaa:

And you certainly dont need to change the fuel rail for 300rwkw. I wouldnt even bother changing it for 400rwkw.

Good point, sry just got caught up in your posts. Well I'm going from a VL commodore to an R34 GT-T, so, there 'might' be some similarities, as the VL had the RB30 and the R34 the RB25neo. Yeah sry mate, just getting a tad overzealous, I did in fact read the first post. I've been reading a fair bit the last two weeks on this forum, so I kind of gathered power FC was an ECU, I asked only to make sure...

just to confirm, the bosch 040 will be sufficient to hold the power? how much can it take? as im about to buy one now.

just orderd a set of the Aerospeed cam gears on the group buy as well.

edit: never mind im actually going the nismo or tomei fuel pump for safety.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
