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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
