Pod filter first. to get the wOooSh sound.. Then a turbo-back exhaust.. not catback' unless u want less power. try justjap.com or gktech.com.au

get stainless steel so down the track you wont need to replace it. then get a front mount intercooler & then finally get a boost controller.. should get you close to 200rwkws.

2nd hand turboback exhaust 500$

intercooler $500

boost controller turbotech - $30

Boost gauge $50

pod filter $100

Okay so...

1. I got a DR/FT brand pod filter installed (new)

2. The intercooler right now is TENZO brand. (is it good or bad?)

3. Still looking for a 3" turbo back exhaust at the moment

4. Blitz Boost gauge connected and working nicely :thumbsup:

5. I think I have a boost controller (not sure of the brand) in the car (not wired) located under the steering wheel

Any suggestions or changes to the mods are most appreciated. :)

Thanks again.

So you got an aftermarket Front Mount Intercooler or an upgraded Side Mount Intercooler?

It's either a boost controller or a turbo timer under the steering wheel.

Yep, its an aftermarket front mount intercooler.

According to the pictures, it looks like a Turbo Timer, but the guy who sold it said its a boost controller?

I'm pretty sure it looks like this ---> http://www.xspeed.com.au/imagess/tech/25/4.jpg

I regards to your intercooler, depending how many kW's you want, an upgrade to a R34 GTT stock Side Mount Intercooler would have been fine for just over 200 kW's, but since it is already on the car as you bought it like that, then +1 for you.

With your Front Mount Intercooler, it's good for over 300 kW's so, you set there.

Yeah your right, looks like a Turbo Timer.

I assume you have switched your car off and the timer starts counting down... You should know... :)

Well, the crappy thing is... the car is at the mechanics at the moment still getting the new clutch installed.

And another sh*t thing is... the turbo timer isn't connected. Should I get it wired up right away?

As you know a turbo timer is there to just allow the car to sit and idle after you have removed the key from the ignition.

Turbo timer is there so you don't have to wait.

As you car idles, it allows the oil in the turbo to cool down to a lower / safe temp, if you have been driving the car hard, it is best to give it a bit longer.

Some ppl just let the car sit for a few minutes, some drive the car slowly, park, then switch it off.

For my car, I give it about 3 mins and on hot days / hard driving a little longer, just to be safe.

Get you mechanic to hook it up while their doing the clutch.

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.

      It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).

      R34 GTR Seats / No longer reclining

      By bilbo117 · Posted

      Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers

      Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.
