Get an intercooler first - how much you want to spend? Starts from $400-$700+ depends on the brand and specs you want.

the t4 turbo wont be around for long a fair few ppl want it, should i bag the t4 then save for the intercooler? turbos are never 500...

How long have you had the car?:)......Be patient dude ..save some more money and then get some goodies and chuck them all at once.

You will feel the difference more if you do it that way. If you put an intercooler now, and thats it, you would feel bugger all difference and you are going to think that you just wasted your hard earn dollars. imho.

an intercooler is not a power gain

full exhaust from turbo back? or just cat back?

get a 2ndhand intercooler off ebay and do the pipe work and fitting yourself

look for a remapped r32 ecu off ebay

perhaps a bigger fuel pump and a fuel pressure regulator wouldnt be a bad thing

and a RB25 stock turbo

fir the turbo and intercooler and boost to 12psi, install the fuel pump, get the regulator setup on a dyno with the remapped ecu and you should have a decent gain.

i think i also need a few guages to monitor my engine a little more.. i only have speed tacho, rpm and stock boost gauge, which is 7psi, mines already at around 11... so i have no idea.. do u reccomend obtaining gauges to put into the car?

Get an RB25 turbo + Intercooler + fuel pump anymore more than 12psi will require ecu work like a SAFC or remap. If you really want a t4 turbo you will need a t3 flange to fit it

yeah that or you can just put on some hks, nismo, g reddy stickers and that'll add an extra 50kw or so! :)

2nd hand remapped ecu from ebay - $250 at most

intercooler ebay - $200

Nismo fuel pressure regulator - $150

bosch 040 fuel pump - $150

rb25 turbo - $200

around a grand I suppose, but it would give a decent power-up IMO

Dood, what are you doing??

$600???

Keep it in the bank and focus on paying rent & bills.

Anything major that you do will probably need a decent ecu to cope followed by a tune.

Tune alone about 1/2 grand..........save your money if thats all you got.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
