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.

      You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.

      Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
