Need Advice

[redevil]

Before everyone jumps down my throat, I have searched on here but couldn't find anything like the advice I'm chasing.

I have just brought a completely stock R33 GTS25T Auto Coupe and am looking to modify it. I am on the gold coast so looking for some advice and help from people.

Firstly I want to keep it Auto as it is all my Girlfriend can drive, secondly what is the best things to start with, I want to get a bit of pair out of it but also make it very reliable.

Are there any good performance workshops on the gold coast?? And also if anyone has any second hand parts and I mean anything let me know even body kits and interior parts.

Also chasing a headunit if anyone has a second hand one.

i am assuming you want more power, not more pair, LOL

secondly, you obviously didn't search very hard as there are millions of threads about modifications but i will tell you some anyway.

get a turbo back exhaust, raise the boost up to about 10psi (will need an aftermarket boost gauge to do this), either a better quality panel filter or a pod, and a front mount intercooler. that is pretty much all you can do without upgrading the ECU.

Yeah power sorry bud. Thanks for the advice.

Does anyone recommend a good workshop on the gold coast??

a lot of the stuff i have mentioned can be done by yourself and parts can be bought over the net for reasonably cheap.

for a boost controller i recommend a turbotech one from ebay. i ran one and never had any issues and they are nice and cheap ($37.50 delivered). for a boost gauge just go to your local auto parts store.

for a panel filter i'm pretty sure that the commodore k&n filter is the same as the skyline one, or if you go a pod you will need a pod adapter as well (to bolt the pod to the AFM).

exhaust: either go to a local exhaust shop or online from somewhere like justjap.com and fit it yourself. you can also get intercoolers from justjap as well

...500 odd posts and a member for 6years and has no idea where to look for performance stuff for skylines on SAU.

Um, am I missing anything here?

Sorry guys my younger brother is using my account, being a typical brother he won't listen to my advice and wanted to get second opinions from people on here.... Thanks for all the help.... Anyone with parts for sale let me know literally chasing pretty much everything.

Also he has just moved to the Gold Coast and I'm not familiar with anyone down there, any personal experiences with shops???

how many $$$'s is the real question

[BezerkR32]

hes on the right track with a $37 boost controller. second hand r34 side mount intercooler, panel filter and exhaust. $1000 max

if this thing is a series 1.5 with series 2 ecu he is wasting his time.
