Hahaha, first off, welcome and congradulations on the purchase of your ER34 GT-T.

There are a few guides out there, but they generally start like this:

Intake (either go Pod or Panel filter). If you're going a pod, then it'd be a good idea to get a heat shield for it (Ashneel on this site sells them for ER34's cheap).

Exhaust (Turbo back, with high flow cat)

ECU/Boost controller (AVC-R/Greddy management or go the hardcore and now super expenssive Power FC for the complete solution for the ECU. Boost controllers can be cheap or super expenssive. You go a manual one like a boostee (or whatever the hell they call them) and you can pick one up easy in the $150. Or you can go expessive and go EBC and get something like an Apexi AVC-R).

Once your here, then you'll be looking at either a Clutch to handle the extra power and maybe a fuel pump.

Thats about as far as most people take a street car and thats relatively a cheap amount of mods (I did all this with about 2k with some forum shopping and street smart).

Good luck mate!

thank you all for ur response, i have been told if i do pod like filter, have to get a shield for it, but dont knw where i could get one...is "ashneel" a person or a place?? just need to get in contact with him/them so i can get one ASAP, any place u know in melbourne where i can pick one up?..and one more question tho, i have been told also that i need to change the stock fuel pump first before doing anything like boosting and putting ECU on my car, now, which one should i do first?? would my stock fuel pump keep up the amount of boost (ei:12Psi) if ever i decided not to change the pump just yet or bad idea??and should i get a new boost gauge as well or leave the stock one on??before boosting my car up??

Ashneel is a user on the site, throw him a PM. Alternatively you can get shields from a few online stores.

For my money I wouldn't skimp on engine management/boost control. Check out PowerFC's, but they aren't the only option. A bit of searching on this site should uncover some options for you. For boost control you have heaps of options, such as the powerfc addon, or the greddy/blitz/etc etc. I would steer clear of basic bleed valves if only for future proofing.

Don't bother with the fuel pump/injectors until you start pushing more power. Basic mods don't generally require fuel system upgrades. As soon as you start breaking through to the moderately modified car I would suggest looking into it though.

+1 for coilovers and other suspension mods. No point pumping in more power only to have trouble getting it to the tarmac.

Welcome mate, might see you round Crown again.

cheers mate...

im just getting my hi-flow cat done so my exhaust is complete..and i think i will be getting Greddy profec b-spec II EBC soon..

do i need to get a new boost gauge as well?? as the stock one is inaccurate readings...

thankxx all

All of the mentioned above is a great way to get you started on your modifying adventure.

It's great to hear you say that you dont want "short cuts" and that you want to do it properly.

Seeing as you've done Pod and turbo back exhaust.

You can look at suspension etc.. Coil overs/dampers/castor etc.

FMIC

Aftermarket ECU "I prefer the Power FC, its what i have in my 34"

remeber, its not always about "power mods" look at your brakes and handling as well.

If you have all this power, and you skimp on braking mods.. its abit dangerous.

To give you an indication, i have a ER34 as well and the mods i've done so far are:

Full HKS turbo back exhaust

Apexi Power FC

HKS 2835 ProS turbo

HKS front mount

Koyo Alloy radiator

Blitz IBC boost controller

Aragusta Coil overs

Slotted rotors

Castor Rods

Nismo 1.5way diff.

Soon to come: RB26 Plenum, Better brake setup, Nismo Lower controll arms.

Then its time for track! :D

Remeber to get some sexy wheels and a sexy body kit and you're set.

Also a good tuner for your ECU is always good.. (so your car wont blow!)

Just my 2cents

Jin :P

thanx all...

i will be considering all your advices...for now, two things i wanted to get done ASAP,

1. Greddy profec II EBC

and

2. ECU, preferably APEXI's...

thanks again ya'll been good help..

install them at the same time, try and track down a Blitz ID3, autobarn should have them, dont get pushed into something else.

why not get a remap?

dont forget that you have a ceramic turbo wheel ....

not the strongest items. be looking at a upgrade or high flowing the turbo, or you will be picking bits of wheel out of your cooler :)

dont forget that you have a ceramic turbo wheel ..<----what sort of up grade should i be considering at??

any idea??

how much is the remap?? and how and where can i get one?? is it better that way?? whats the advantage of it??

wouldnt have a clue, narrow down to what power you want, say 250-300kw's, that will give you a range of turbos in that power range.

then you look for one that will fit your flange, T3 i think ?

then lag ? brand ? all that shit ... it got to much for me and will just end up getting defected for it anyway .

so i just gave up and im going the highflow way. legal :)

hhmmm...i think im not going to get bigger turbo's just yet, just lights mods first for the moment...id stop if i get between 230-250rwkw, that's my goal FOR NOW..then after, maybe i'd be looking at handling parts...

You won't get 230-250rwkw without a turbo upgrade, and it's unlikely your RB25 is twin turbo.

well, tough luck for me, i guess...just not really looking forward on the 2nd stage of upgrades which i guess includes bigger turbo, change clutch etc...i'd probably most happy to get on the 210-225's??..

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
