What are some of my options,

Ill take some PICS and post as well.

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

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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
