Guys!

I've decided to spend 2k on my skyline... here is what I have...

RB25DET

Stock turbo,stock intercooler

Coilovers and 17" rims

standard series 1 bodykit

4" exhaust with blitz nur spec muffler

boost controller

air pod

normal ICE with a small enough subwoofer to provide decent 'doof doof'.

Any ideas on what I can do with the cash?

DIY vs shops? I am not mechanically sound but simple electricals I can handle with some instructions...

What do you want out of your car?

perhaps a tune would be nicely suited with your current mods.

If you are in sydney, you can get a remap done for little as $400.

Why not get a r34 cooler, or fmic? thats about 500.. thats 1k gone..

With the other 1k, do more suspension mods? Castor rods, tie rod ends, sway bars etc..

But the next step in more power will be costly!!

That is if you wanna go bigger turbo etc. You will need a budget of 5k for that.

Perhaps with the 2k, invest it into insurance :)

HEy guys

Thanks for the tips.... I might end up getting a e-manage /safc, tune and prolly spend the rest on replacing my crappy s1 rear spoiler to a s2. I suppose the 2gs is to get me started on the mods. Prolly the next step is to upgrade the turbo and intercooler system. Then again, its an everyday car.....Fuel economy is behind my mind but I gotta get the balance between street car and race car correct.... if u know what i mean....

    • 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.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
