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??

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??..

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
