HI5! We rock! :no:

seriously though, it shits me when a car has the same colour plates then the car... it shows a complete lack of creativity... it can be hard to read if your running from the cops though...

Hey Heysey,

Sorry - old post but want to say congrats!

I too went from a Skyline (R33 gts-t ser2) to an Audi S4 :(

Done any more mods yet??

I got a little carried away with mine.. Was just about to upgrade turbos but instead had to move overseas for work and thus sell!!

I'm sure you have done a fair bit of research but to give you a better indication.. With just a chip (Giac tho) and cat back exhaust (which almost went the whole way up the car) managed a 13.003 and 1.8s 60ft (first time out to WSID, heavy 19's and a seriously slipping clutch!) Power wise was more like 250 kw's - running 1.55 bar of boost too (would hit 1.55 by about 2250 rpm)

Things you must change - Throttle body boot, BOV's (get rid of the plastic stockies) and you will prob go through a couple of AFM's even with the stock airbox..

Some recommendations:

- C/O's, Sway bars and semi slicks make the thing stick like s%$t to a blanket!!!

- Go Giac chip...

- Get a manual boost control (to smoothen boost from fluctuating)

- Go exhaust from turbo back (lots of work involved tho)

- Upgrading turbos is the way to go (but expect about 10k+ and then some)

- Upgrade you I/C's to RS4 units.. Much better flow and much better cooling

If you haven't spoken to Nils (Milka) on the audi forum already.. I suggest you do.. The amount of times I went to his place for help on little things haha

Ohh one more thing.. I very highly recommend upgrading the centre diff to the Stassis centre diff (for the S4) it sends about 20% more power to the rears and helps a huge amount on reducing understeer and more oversteer - which is needed on this car!!!

Well ive finally stopped driving it long enough to take some pics.... and after having it just over a week now im totally in love... i never knew a car could be so good out of the factory....

as one of my mates put it, this car is over engineered! it hits full boost by 1800rpm, no need for a hard launch, it does 0-100 in 5.5, even less with a chip... the recaros are beautiful, soo comfortable, havent been sore or restless at all, the standard bose sound system is great, the car handles so well i cant think quick enough to keep up with it yet, so throwable into corners, tad of understeer then hard on the gas and the car just sticks and pulls... the dash is soo nice to look at, white on red... just beautiful!

can throw 5 people in the car, still be comfortable, and the car still feels bolted to the road, safe, secure, and farken quick...

ill get it chipped shortly, as the chip improves the performance so much its like bolting a highflow into a stock rb25... just mental!

ill tint it, maybe a subtle exhaust for better breathing, chip, and just polish the body back up to immaculate..

really i couldnt be happier, ive had my fun in the skyline, ill get one to drift in a couple of years... and ill still float around here...

now for the pics!

Hey mate,

hows the os thing going? didnt you sell your S4 before you left?

Ive just stuck a full turbos back exhaust on her, 3.5" dumps to 2.5" split piping all the way back, the power increase is pretty nice and it wants to rev its tits off all the time now! i cant believe the difference its made! but fark it was a pain in the ass to install!!!! ...as for a chip ive been leaning towards GIAC now heard better things about them...

Ive done the TBB, threw an upgraded stock one in there while i waited for the samco one to come so ive even got a spare! ill probs stick 710Ns in just as a precautionary measure..

Coilovers are definately on the cards, just tossing up how much i want to spend etc, im thinking H&R ones from the states going for $1200 ish..

sways are in order!

semi slicks.. hmmm

i want to make it handle a bit better, dont have the cash to blow on turbos just yet! she does have 120km on it so they will prob go in the next year or so, then ill get serious on the engine work and make her an animal! with the ICs, ive almost been tossing up a front mount kit...

havent spoken to Nils yet but i will shortly...

ill post some updated pics with the tints and the awesome detail that was done on her makes it look alot better.. now for some B6 S4 rims or BBS Ch and coilovers :D

yours looked tidy as.. how many kms on it?

Andrew.... lucky mum cant drive manual or she might like my car too much!!!

Yeah going very well!! Tax is fantastic over here, only one problem for me..... I miss cars soooooooooooooo much!!

haha good to see you are doing research before jumping into things..

Will pm you from ozaudi about a couple of things :P

When I bought it I only had like 45k's on it (but that was many years ago now)..

Talk soon

Rob

    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
    • I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...
    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
