Holy Carp, what do you do to own the cars you do at that age? ^^^

OP: Very nice :P Given free reign, that's exactly the car I would buy. Yeah chuck on an exhaust, but plan thoroughly if you're gonna mod it :P

Honestly i've just been lucky having an opportunity to make reasonable money earlier on, i'm actually a uni student. I am thinking very carefully about mods, at this stage i'm going to get Cam gears, Power FC D-Jetro (Spelling?) and a full exhaust (Dumps / cat etc) as they get a huge power and potential increase from those mods from what i've been told. After that i'll be happy for a fair while i think :)

PowerFC D-Jetro? No.

You want a standard PowerFC. The D-Jetro is for people who replace their AFM's with MAP sensors and this is not something you want to do on your car. Maybe if you were chasing 900awhp

From those mods you will pickup a little hp from the ECU mostly.

Don't bother replacing the dumps the R34 GTR dumps are great and stainless from the factory, you don't need to change these until you do the turbos. Plus they come with great heat shields to keep the heat inside the exhaust improving engine bay temps and exhaust gas flow.

Also - to be honest - I wouldn't buy cam gears. The simple reason is you will probably want cams down the track and it is cheaper to buy the cams and cam gears in a set from Tomei.

So my advice is,

- standard PowerFC - These are cheap as chips for BNR34

- New big Catco metal cat - $440 from JustJap

- Cat back exhaust - Kakimoto or HKS

- Front pipes - HKS

Any more than that and you will need a new clutch, Nismo Super coppermix twin plate is the only one to get imo - $2k mark.

Then later do turbos(HKS), cams+gears(tomei), dumps(tomei) and go nuts

Thanks for that advice mate, appreciate it! Glad i didn't spend money where i didn't have to! I'll get some prices and sort out the exhaust first up :spank:

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
