I basically bought my car stock! I just put in a front mount and air pod filter. It's already got an Exedy heavy duty clutch! At the moment my skyline r33 is all show n no GO!! I need more power! thinkin' a CAT back will do the trick. but do i need to put in a front pipe or dump pipe b4 hand? r coilovers worth getting? i dunno. I also havn't got a big budget so an suggestions?

if u want power go the exhaust, that will net u a bit.... if you want to push over 190kw... get a fuel pump, injectors.. but most of all get a new ecu, as the stock one is rendered useless at anything past 10psi= R&R.

at this point u will need a clutch..250+hp, get a basic heavy duty one. anything over 300kw = carbon twin plate clutch.

but your on a budget so i would go the =TURBO back exhaust as the exhaust is only as bit as its smallest diameter piping, so a catback is useless..a bosch 040... then save for coilovers and ecu. that should get u to 250hp region.\

better having coilovers as a safety issue. the suspension is meant to be replaced every 10yrs, so its not a speed component more of a stability/safety issue

umm dude, coilovers are suspension components. they dont make your car go, they just hold it off the ground. for the stage you are at, i rekon the exhaust is the next step. but dont just do a catback cos they do nothing but add noise. do the full exhaust. ie: catback, hiflow cat, front/dump pipe.

imo you are looking at maybe $300 for a secondhand catback, max $300 depending on which cat u chose, and bout $200 to $300 for the front pipe - bout $900 total. i spent almost that much on a new trust PE2 catback. stupid move but meh.

look for a bargain on the forums, they crop up regularly. you'll definately feel the difference

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
