would i be able to get some advise on what to do with my bov? i just got it installed and its pretty loud, am afraid that it will get the cops attention. i am getting a plumb-back adapter for it, any opinions on that?

thanks!

go back to stock, even stock has a fair bit of noise with a pod/highflow filter

Does anyone have a 250-300rwkw gtst / gtt / gtr in Sydney who could take me for a brief spin in their skyline as I am also contemptlating putting on a hypergear turbo down the track??? I would really appreciate that.

Have a read of the nistune website. It lists a number of WA installers:

Also read the nistune thread on here.

The panel filters are a common size - falcon, evo etc.

I m using a Pipercross Px-PP1128 for about $100 there are K&N many others.

Use the search button and use Google to ask questions (quite often you will be referred to this website!).

may i ask where u bought ur panel filter from?

and also with my current pod filter, if i remove it and replace it with the panel filter, do i need any other adpaters or parts? cos when i bought the car, it already came with the pod filter, don't have the stock parts.

thanks!

Well I bought mine in Auckland so no use to you. You could order one from one of these Aussie suppliers: http://www.pipercross.net/fastroad/stockists_worldwide.asp?country=AU&id=9

From memory the afm bolts to the box and the hose fits the afm but since you have a pod now its not a priority tbh just look out for the bits at the right price when they come up.

Could I get some opinions on leaving out the bov entirely, covering up the valve and run it full surge back without any bov?

It will be noisy and depending on the turbo it can sound really shit or ok, can always block off your current bov so you know what it will sound like. Just make a gasket out of a coke can for now and see.

dumps are the same according to a tuner I spoke to

neo has a different intake manifold, different sensors, ignition etc but exhaust should be identical

neo only came in the R34 afaik so 99% sure you have one

cos im getting one and on ebay they're selling a RB25 one and a RB25DET one. Not sure which one to get.

Cheers!

odd, ask them to clarify before you buy, see if anyone in here chirps up as well, afaik they were all the same, maybe I'm wrong.

edit: oh right, 34 one is probably going to be different due to exhaust mounting etc, the actual dump flange is the same though.

if you're going to upgrade the Turbo (why not when you can get stock like response but a heap more power) go for the Hypergear SS highflow - around 250rwkw and very similar response to stock. You'll prob need a Z32 AFM, but you MIGHT be able to get away with it. I maxed the resolution at around 240'ish rwkw on my old GTT.

You'll need a GOOD intake pipe made up as well if you switch turbos. The old 'shove a metal pipe in' has it's limits, you'll need something custom made up - DON'T go the silicone options, waste of time. Metal, metal, metal.

Injectors are a much easier deal now-a-days, just grab some Injector Dynamics injectors. Start around the 725cc mark, but i'd prob just get 1000's to allow for E85 :D Or get the 'no-name' variety of Bosch EV12 (i think) style injector, that's what the ID's are based off.

I went nistune, hypergear highflow, stock airbox, stock BOv, highflow panel filter, return flow IC (plus other supporting mods) for bout 5+ years with GTT - never any cops drama's at all. Make sure the exhaust isn't too loud, and following all the great advice already in this thread you'll have a mean car that's still quite stealth. 250rwkw in a GTT is a lot of fun :)

But please please look into your tyres/suspension/brakes as well.

Swaybars, do eeet! Cheap and fantastic handling upgrade - Whiteline.

Tyres, my car liked the KU36's, but alternatively i'd prob splash a few hundred more on some AD08's from tirerack

Brake cylinder stopper, check ebay, very cheap.

Check brakes over, bleed, put some good fluid in etc (RBF600)

But yeah, would be a good idea to check the spring rates if you can. Get some swaybars for sure though! :D

have fun

Both are rubbish imo..the outlet is only 2.5" on those style of dump elbows

Better off with something like this

They also have a stainless one

3" all the way through and bolt straight up to the cat

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
