I've been a member for a few months now but i never introduced myself.... so HI SAU :P

I'm the proud owner of a series 2 bayside blue R34 GT-T. thanx to kirstian at iron chef imports (cheffie rocks)

she's still mainly stock at the moment except for exaust, P1 buddy 19's and tien coilovers.

i am hoping to spend round 2k on the engine when tax time comes but, i'm still unsure where to get my first part of cheep power. i was thinking turbo + ecu + fm intercooler + external wastegate and blowoff valve.... but all that at once may be out of my price range for now. i have no idear about these things as i used to be a proud commodore owner *pulls blank expression*

any sudjestions = awsome!

thanx in advance XD

Welcome.

Add a POD filter to that list... make sure you get it tuned after too. What power are you looking at making? Because depending on that, you might not need to upgrade the turbo. If you upgrade the turbo, you'll probably need injectors too. But like I said, what kind of power do you intend on making?

Enjoy the car mate. :P

edit: If you search around heaps, you'll find a tonne of info on how to go about modding your car.

enough to scare me for a little while lol i eventualy wanna work up to say.... 300kw at the wheels. i'd prefer to run stock head gaskets so i don't want massive boost. i've been told that the stock turbo on the neo doesn't like to be played with... so would eventualy like to get something a fair bis stronger.

any recomendations as to where to get a decent tune? i don't trust anyone in naracoorte to play with her lol

edit: and where to get rid of that dam speed limiter :P

unless you go to the track i think you should leave the limiter on there. if you are hitting the speed limiter on public streets please sell you car and go hand your licence in at your local transport department because you don't deserve to have one.

as for mods and what power you are chasing, can i just ask why 300kw? the reason i say that is the 300kw is getting towards the limit of what you can do without opening the engine up and spending some big money. my suggestion would be to just aim for the mid 200kw level. that way you still have reliability as well as something that is still very drivable on a daily basis. but if you are planning on doing the mods so you can beat commodores off from the traffic lights, do as i said above and hand your licence in.

i already to go to the track & i'm not running myself broke just so i can have it as a weekend driver. i wish to actualy enjoy my car.

As far as what i do on the street, there is stupid... and there is knowing when and where to keep risks to a minium. can you honestly tell me that you havn't enjoyed a cruse through the hills doing "illegal stuff" if you think that this would be a dispical act, then you don't know my kind of car love. if you do, then please feel free to hand in your licence as well.

300kw is just a rough number. i'll only ever have as much as i can afford and that i'm confident to control.

me being new to this, i'll probaly be happy with 200kw for a little while, but i aim for 300 eventualy.

Yeap, nothing like sucking hot air from your engine bay for performance gains :P

Research what your after and work out how much you can afford then do more research into the mods you want/need and see if they will give you gains for your your $$$$ or if the money spent on useless/stupid mods could be spent on better things like quality tyres/brakes/suspension.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
