Hi All,

Thought it would be a good idea if we were all to post up what our favourite mods to our cars are. Thinking this will influence eachother to what people have done and what theyve found to be most rewarding mod.

When posting your favourite mod please include how much it cost you, why its your fav. and if its not an "off the shelf" item, where you got it done/made

To kick things off: :(

Favourite Mod:

EBC (electronic boost controller), Greddy Profec B spec II ( $350ish new from whorebay). Followed closely by SAFC II.

Why I Like It:

Made the stagea so much more lively with only a few extra PSI. The ability to have granny spec (Lo) and goodbye petrol mode (hi), I personally think are a must if your driving ur stag as ur only car.

lets see how this goes :)

External gate and TD06 i had on my 180.

Whole setup cost me over 3K

but damn it was worth it seeing the face on the trev went u went past them with the gate screaming and the tyres turning!!

God i miss that car.

But other best mod done for sure was a slightly illegal one :P 25mm wheel spacers, transformed the handling on my R34 drift car, made it sooo stable.

best stagea mod... well havnt driven one long enuf to mod one yet... they keep breaking on me...

Tough call...

In order;

1) Fuji/Kakimoto exhaust combo - niiice sound & very nice increase in power (looks good too :P )

2) Nismo LMX5 rims - work beautifully with the sky blue, huge grip increase over stockies (Kenda types)

3) Opening up airbox - doesn't run out of breath now.... at all.... ever

4) Hi Flow Turbo (T3 core) - only logs in at number 4 because I have not installed the Emanage Ultimate (next - can't wait!) or a boost controller.

too hard to say best mod, for me, lol 'cause Ive done too many

a) hiflow turbocharger (but to choose that you must include the Toshi ecu remap, the safc/sitc/z32afm/adj.fpr/ebc combo) and dynotune setup

b) automatic gearbox shift kit

c) whiteline swaybars and bilstein shocks

More boost... Only mod ive really done as exhuast, induction ect was already on the car...

Why.. Becase its goes harder and i love the look on peoples faces when they hear a wagon screaming past with a nice flutter at the end :dry:

I don't have a favorite and some are not installed in the car year but anyways.

in no particular order

1. Rims (18" BBS Rims - came with the car)

2. Exhaust

3. HKS GT2535 (Not installed - will be very soon)

4. Cooling Pro Stealth Intercooler (Not installed - will be very soon)

5. Blitz SBC iD Spec-R Boost Controller (hopefully to be installed this weekend)

6. Stereo

JJ bellmouth dump with X force hi flo cat and 3" cat back. $400.

My $20 two stage boost control, better than earthing solenoid, caus its controlable and a fuel saver,

well where do i start:

1. $15000 stereo (includes 6 tvs) always entertained

2. Greddy cams love that lumpy idle (louder than my old mans V8)

3. Having a 260rs

4. 300km/h dolphin speedo that was customised to illluminate blue

1. zaust.... nuff said.. that alone is the best bang for buck and gives the car more pickup.

Fuji and hks re pretty pimp..

i was lucky enough for my skyrine to get a CMS custom exhaust ( turbo back) for like 500 bucks.. ( second hand)

And my stag came with one, that with a pod i put on its pretty niiice.

With a fmic id be pretty stoked..

Theres an S15 im looking at now (99% in the bag, deposit down) that has every mod under the sun done to it already bar a turbo ( hes giving me the manifold for it as well).

When i took it for a test drive it made me happy in the pants...looking foward to tomorrow when i pick it up :banana:

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
