Airbox, pod, AFM, front mount, computer, high flow t28, boost controller, custom low mount manifold, full exhaust, screamer, BBS 17x11, semi slicks, fuel pump, fuel reg... what else can i bolt on to maximize the above?

What do you mean? Do you want more power? I didn't see any suspension mods, have you considered changing suspension setup to fully optimise your power delivery.....

Sparkplugs, injectors, valve springs, plenum, oil cooler, tranny cooler, SURGE TANK!!!!!!!

Guess it depends how far you want to go and what power your making, the suspension is a good idea to get a good response out of the power your making and depending on what power your making a surge could help sort out niggles in the process, valve springs will help with the surging aswell i guess.

Why don't you rebuild your engine now? :(

You, my friend, have got it backwards.

best to let him learn this for himself IC, he'll do is power mods no matter what we say... but he'll learn real fast when he takes it out cant put it to the road and smaller lesser powered cars drive right on by.

Believe me guys i know the importance of suspension, grip, tuning but for now my main aim is power from bolt ons.

I want to basically buy it from the shop and put it on myself then get it all tuned.

Reason being is i just want to look good on the dyno sheet for now :(... ill fix the rest up a little later down the track.

ya know looking at it i think you've got all the tack on bits done... for anything else (cams etc) you need to open things up. you could do a set of adjustable cam gears... or maybe a bigger turbo... but thats all that comes to mind... or a nice set of coil overs... you know while the cars in the shop and all.... get it over and done with.

or if u have a big budget.... rebuild ?? :(

Ive had a suggestion from my mate at the workshop, said to f**k the AFM off and go with a MAP sensor.

How much difference will that make?

how much do u wanna spend!!?

change your turbo and get it tuned properly by a competent tuner if you want more power.

even better, go to a decent tuner and ask them. they will tell you what needs to be done to it, better than any advice you'll get outta this thread or from a mate in a workshop who tells you you'll get more power changing from an afm to map...

ps - you're running semi slicks but havent thought hard about suspension?? :)

Semi slicks were second hand so i bought em for the sake of it lol :) I run RE050 tyres now, use the semis for the track which is rarely.

The car is just for street i dont want hard suspension because the hume highway, canterbury rd etc... are a f**ken pain in the ass !!!!

I did mention i have an aftermarket ECU (computer) in my first post, just didnt mention which one. And i rather not say as not to get laughed at :D

The wheels are actually 17x10.5, they dont hang out but they are basically in line with the wheel well and they miss the suspension by about 1cm, which is why i went wider instead of 18's. Ill show you pictures. Front wheels are 17x9, i forgot to mention that.

My mate at the workshop didnt say the MAP would make a huge difference but he did say its better than an AFM for later when i do start going breserk on tuning :(

Are there any other bolt ons other than throttle body, plenum, fuel rail, injectors and up the sparking package. Can i just buy all the parts, bolt em together then swap em into the car? Or is it a little more than that?

Thanks guys :P

The dyno operator can make anything look good on a sheet of paper if that's all you want........ :P

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.

      My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
