hey mate if ur not lookin for atention dont worry about the BOV i reckon go straight for the frount mount and air intake, dipending on what you like with your car i would go and put an exedy race clutch in, proberly the best thing done to my car.(but im setting up for dori)

the high mount set up is worth it if you are eventually lookin at high power mods like bigger turbo set ups and sh*t.

(or you could just sell it and buy a r32)

hahaha :P

Best advice...

Drive it for at least 6 months and get used to the power it already has, in the mean time you can save your pennies for future mods.

Have a look in the 'Forced Induction' section for all your rb25det knowledge, and have a look at what other ppl have modded to get there power gains. :P

Don't buy a clutch if your stock one isn't stuffed/slipping imo.

Is your exhaust full 3" from the turbo back? If not finish that off - and get a front mount intercooler.

Yup turbo back..and the stock clutch is fine : ) does anyone know a good place for front mounts?

Cheers mate...That is a dam sexc car btw

Thanks :P

Also, take infamous-t's advice. Drive it around without too many power gains just yet. Learn exactly what you want to do with this car. Plan the whole setup. That way you get used to handling a more powerful rwd car, and you avoid chopping and changing between mods. Get a shopping list and know everything you want before you buy anything :)

i reckon go mod by mod unless you are planning on full ground up rebuild which your not, i agree with driving and getting used to it and then adding power but def plan it other wise you will end up buying cheap sh*t off here and never needing to use it

cheers

Its best to do a lot of investigation first to figure out what you want. Atm your asking what mod to put in, you say you want a high mount etc. Now these are all valid questions, but you need to know what you want the finished product to be. Obviously things such as a front mount are fairly generic across the range, but there are a lot of little things that can be done to keep your car reliable for its purpose. What that purpose is, you need to figure out.

For instance. People always want to put on a lot of mods and crank up the boost. They forget about important things like brakes, internals of the engine, suspension setup etc etc.

I'd say get the fmic for sure. But before you get a high mount manifold, do some investigation and see what you want out of this car. Then you can plan exaclty what you need, and make sure your car is still reliable and capable of handling the extra power.

Hope that helps. SAU is very useful and full of information. Use the search feature and read a lot. Ask questions of people who know what they are talking about.

rofl. Learn how to drive the car. Then mod it. Too many people have totaled their cars within a short time of owning it.

P/s: As R33 GTS said, know what you want to do with the car. Then work your way from there, also understand something called $$ constraints, and possible $$ constraints in the future. 1 very important "mod" ... full comp insurance. :P

So I assume you were an awesome driver capable of anything as soon as you got your lisence? Don't think so.

nickr33turb is still on his P's, so he's still a young driver. Don't take this the wrong way, I'm not saying cause you're on your P's, you're a bad driver. Just inexperienced. I don't care how good a driving instructor is. Nothing beats experience when it comes to being in control. The more power you have, the finer the line becomes between in control and potentially out of control. I've had my license for a fair few years now, but I still know I've got more to learn. Want to do some advanced driving courses etc.

Get used to the power and rear wheel drive and the feel of boost. Then make upgrades as you go, with a final plan in mind.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      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.
