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:

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.

      Run the piping how we all have for decades. Also the duel runners with the +T setup dramatically helps it gets on boost quicker. Yes, chase huge power it'll become a problem, but you're a long way off when you're already saying an aftermarket ECU is out of the budget. You also say NisTune as it's simple, and then immediately say it'll be painful, meaning... It won't be simple. It will likely cost you a lot more stuffing around with a Nistune, than just putting a Haltech or similar in.

      TD05 or maybe pulsar PSR2867r Gen 2?  id love a garret but it’s quite out the budget for now and I’m not chasing crazy power.    yeh fuel pump haven’t looked into but whatever works, kind of last on my list.    Nistune because it’s simple but Ik it’s a lot of pain especially as I’m auto +t with the whole seperate TCM etc still investigating that. Haltech id love but once budget tight for now atleast.    finally the reason I’m trying for a plenum instead of the stock intake is I already have a standard Intercooler mounted etc. so the ports are on both sides so trying to not have to go over the clutch fan radiator etc. trying to find a good deal return flow if I don’t than this will do for now I guess. btw any ideas with that, apparently some people have to cut blades to reduce it from hitting the Intercooler piping over the radiator ? Thanks
