Hi, I have an r34 gt-t with a stock turbo, Blitz intercooler, 3.5" apexi exhaust and K&N panel filter.

All is good and cops stop me all the time but im legal, so now I'm thinking of getting a new turbo ( Another thing what do u recommend the garrett r30 or r35?), new injectors(what size should I get?), Fuel pump (what brand?).

So, if i put all these mods how bad is it when i get pulled over?

Thanks

BTW im in Melbourne, VIC

You'd need ECU for this to work but it's doable if you hid them well. Just do a search on FI section plenty of info there.

In Victoria, apparently everything relates to motor vehicles are illegal, and it's only legal unless you get caught.

I want my car to hit 250kw or more, its currently 163 kw

Just get a high flow man...easily achieve that power level with one and it will look alot more factory than putting on a larger turbo.

So, should i just high flow the stock turbo without the other mods?

Where is a good place to do it?

See Trent @ Status/Chequered tuning. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/St...ed-t306755.html - Contact details on this thread.

Highflow the turbo, Nismo 480cc injectors, Nistune, Nismo bolt on fuel pump, Z32 AFM and Dump/front pipe if you don't have one. That should give you at least 250rwkw.

Good call :wub: ,to the op don't do it you'll get reamed hard,my 2cents,i was down there a while ago saw lots of young peeps pulled over,if they ask you to open your bonnet your gone.

If you drive like a wanker you'll get pulled over. And if you get pulled over for driving like a wanker the cops will ping you for something regardless.

If yoou don't drive like a wanker and you car "appears" pretty stock, they will leave you be.

Even if they look under the bonnet, they won't go to extraordinary lengths to suss out your turbo, injectors and the like - unless you have been driving like a wanker.

Either high flow your current turbo or get one that is bolt on and looks pretty stock. The coppers won't care....unless you drive like a wanker.

You sir, have never had the Knox TMU on your tail :P

Wanker or not, you don't always get left to your own devices but I agree you have much more chance of getting pulled over when you are driving like a wanker.

    • You know what, I am enjoying your updates, but I have to say it is pretty poor form to walk into a shop that is paying for space and stock on the floor, try all their seats to work out what you are happy with, then buy somewhere else. If everyone did that the shop will be out of business with no opportunity for anyone to try a seat before buying. 👎  
    • Good work, and thanks for posting up your solution for future people!
    • Yeah mate that’s the plan, I just want something I can have fun in and work on during weekends.  There’s really only 1 road fit to drive the car on and luckily is been redone recently.  I do want to tune it next year sometime, no dynos here so I’m looking at an ECU that can be remote tuned. 
    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
