TODO LIST:

1. 3 inch exhaust, turbo back free flowing cat and muffler.

2. Front-Mount Intercooler and piping.

3. Remove boost restictor.

4. Engine Oil Cooler

5. Turbo upgrade once old turbo dies, tune and re-program ECU.

Upgrade the radiator if temperature going above halfway.

I haven't done many of these myself, lots of hpi and zoom reading, haha

Agree with oldr31.....but if your going straight after a HKS kit

Also Add:

ECU - Power FC, Haltech, Wolf, Microtech etc...depending on how much you wanna spend - Power FC would be the wise choice for $1200 - $1600

Electronic BOOST CONTROLLER - Greddy Profec B, Eboost street (avoids boost spikes)

Turbo timer- greddy, hks, apexi

Fuel pump- Walbro 255L Bosch 040 external etc.....

Injectors: 480's out of Nissan s15 will do, or go higher to 550's etc.....

3'' or 4" Pod filter....

BOV

Coilpacks- Spitfires

AFM - z32....

Fuel Pressure regulator.....

Oil Catch Can....

++++TUNE+++++

List can go on and there are many other options..but this just more or less puts you in the safe zone of running anything above 14psi without worrying about stress on your engine and some of your engine parts like injectors and running the car too lean, then you have to factor in installation of everything and trying to abide by out countries emmision laws and aviod the boys in blue defecting you....oh and the BOV is just too sound good....lol...

No drama's....well if you have that sort of money to spend then their is a fair amount that you can do to the vehicle. Now what you want will depend alot on what sort of power you want and how you will use the car (ie, daily driver etc). If your going for big power, id probably suggest engine work straight of the bat..weather you rebuild the motor in the car you buy or buy a f**ked motor from someone, get that rebuilt and sell your engine once your ready to replace with the worked one. (looking at 5-8k for all the machining, pistons, rods, cams, bearings, headgasket etc if your paying someone to do the work . Otherwise you could just put new bearings and headgasket in your engine if you want a reliable stock engine, but i wouldn't suggest anything over 250-270rwkw but im no mechanic lol...........alot of people on here say set a goal...say 230rwkw or 300rwkw..find out what you need to comfortably hit that mark in terms of engine components, suspension, brakes, ecu, etc...and stick with it...cause unless you got the 30k to drop straight away its going to take time lol....

You could keep going on and and in this topic, but your best bet is to just read the forums, take in some results other people have had and what modifications they have, the best places to get work done, best tuners, reliable parts, etc....

this should give you an idea of where to start....http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb25-Turbo-Upgrade-Dyno-t55845.html

hope that helps somewhat

Sell it and buy a GTR.

[s2d4]

^^^ +1

R33 GTRs are now around the 25K mark. So if you sell your car +10K on a GTR will be worth a lot more than your GTS

[PM-R33]

Step 1. Sell car.

Step 2. Save a little bit more money.

Step 3. Buy R34 GTR for low $40k.

This is assuming you have $30,000 sitting there since that is what you are making it sound like. If you actually don't have any money sitting there than you can not say you are planning on spending $30,000 on it since you do not have that kind of money.

In that case:

Step 1. Full exhaust upgrade.

Step 2. Front mount intercooler.

Step 3. Aftermarket ECU.

Step 4. Fuel pump.

Step 5. Turbo upgrade.

Step 6. Injectors and boost controller depending on what kind of power you want to make and Splitfire coil packs if yours aren't up to the job.
