All of the above and try multiple throttle bodies. Can't get a much tougher look than six big fat trumpets hangin off the side of your engine. Great amounts of torque, bulk rev,s huge noise, if you don't have an airbox, and the crisppest throttle response you've ever had. Trust me it's the way to go. Done it on my old car..:burnout:

I'm definitely interested in multiple throttle bodies provided I can get them cheap! Roughly what are they going for($)? What's this about an airbox? What exactly are the benefits? Do they noticeably or measurably add to performance? Are they legal in VIC?

http://www.wheelweights.net/ has some good info regarding wheel weights, both factory and aftermarket rims.

Has anyone actually fitted lightweight, forged rims (ie TE37's or something)?? If so is there a noticable increase in performance? I have put off getting rims for a while now because I'm unsure if it's worth the extra cash to get forged lightweight ones?

Thanks guys,

Greg

seriously, the most i'd do is:

pod filter with box and CAI

extractors, high flow cat and exhaust

lightened flywheel and clutch

and thats probably it. unless of course you have heaps of cash. i've only done the pod filter and cai, and i'm considering extractors and exhaust. but then on the other hand, i think i'm better off just getting a turbo! turbo's the way to go :D

atm im saving for extractors (hard thing to do when you have no job) then later on change cams or something, then after that save for rb30 bottom end and probebly leave 10:1 compression and not put a turbo on, unless i do want to put turbo then i will change some plans

hey doxximus, where are u planning on getting extractors from? i haven't heard of any place in melbourne which sells them for rb25de, except for Ringwood Exhaust. they custom made some, and i don't think they were that great. so i'm wondering where u can get some jap ones from...

I run Volk racing 17s at the track, and they improve performance out of site. It is much easier to lift them and bolt them on to the hubs :P

Real benefit - can't tell:D

Well when I did my EFI set up om my old Datsun it cost about $2500 for the whole lot. That included new Wolf3d, injectors, throttle bodies ( 2x 45mm dcoe style), all linkages and Tps. Never heard an engine yet that put out as much induction noise as my old car. Sounded absolutely awsome!!!!! It's not the cheapest way to go but it all depends on how much you can spend and what you want out of the car...

this is slip, not la la.

greg: the extractors were on the car.

Motavation i believe, with 2.25" all the way to the tip after the 6-2-1 extractors.

no2 - engine makes more power because of it, same as putting a turbo on it. Improper fuelling and excess power through stock components i can see being a problem but i fail to see why it would destroy your engine more than a turbo setup with the same power gain, except the turbo may put more strain on the engine due to its constant power making nature, unlike no2 which is user-controlled.

feel free to tell me im wrong.

I'm thinking of dumping a Toyota SC14 From a Toyota 1G-GZE, 2.0 Litre SuperCharged Engine. $350.00 I thikn it has more to gain from a supercharger than a turbocharger... besides, it'd be sumfin I've never driven b4, a supercharged Jap import. But that's in about a year's time.

Right now I want a GTR style front lip (thing that goes under u're bumper)

can you do me a favour and get prices on a piece of silver mesh (like your's to cover the front of my spoiler? And also a bottom lip for a R32 GTS/GTSt if they have one.

I am probably going to order the A'pexi N1 exahust (60mm piping) from perfectrun.com.au in the next week or so. Does anyone have this fitted to their car? If so, what do you think of it? Excessively noisy or droney? Also, has anyone ordered stuff from www.perfectrun.com.au before? THANKS!

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
