Its the non Turbo and stock as rock, Im loving the car but want to do some light modding (the Mrs has to be able to drive it daily)

What are some of my options,

Ill take some PICS and post as well.

thanks

P.S anyone recomendations as to tuners you would trust with your skyline in the Sydney area.

and a website that tells me the stock tech specs of my car.

Thanks.

Welcome to SAU mate!

With the recommended workshops in the Sydney area, have a look in the NSW Section, there should be a list of workshops. Search about each workshop if you're a bit worried to get an idea of people's experience with the workshop.

Only thing I see as a 'decent' upgrade for the NA is a full exhaust and a high flow panel filter. There's not really much else to do to get some power that's cheap (as far as I know).

Thanks for the the welcome and info,

how practical is insdtalling a turbo on the N/A car?

Not too practical at all, it's generally cheaper to just buy the turbo model as it's only a couple grand more than an N/A. Depends what you want too, if want like 300-350kW your going to have replace everything on the turbo model anyway in which case the N/A would probably be as good choice as modifying the stock turbo car.

Welcome buddy and congratulations on your purchase.

Post up some pics... I would suggest, get a cat-back exhaust system, pod-filter and then get some nice rims... that'll do you for a while.

Good luck,.

welcome mate!

i wouldnt recommand to turbo a N/A engine, well to keep it simple its bad for the engine and all the rest of it.

go with a cat-back and pod as what Thien said.

have a read through the link below, it mite help you out a bit :P

if you bought the 34 cheap.... sell it and buy a r34gtt :blink:

simple.

The thought has crossed my mind and I think thats what Ill end up doing, I always have this inherint fear of buying turbo cars of people due to the fear of them being thrashed by the guy before me though.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
