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.

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
