I am now really considering the GTM HKS version Stage 3 supercharger....which should get me an additional increase in HP between 100 to 140 RWKW and put it closer to 260 to 280 RWKW.

If I can get the totally install at 8K I would be happy.....I am being to slowly work on the price....and remember the HKS superchager will only increase RWKW by 60 to 70 HP.

Should be interesting to see it all installed as it certainly isn't a kit. Are you a fabricator?

The best bet would be the HKS 3037 kit if you can still find one. Or here is the Greddy twin kit: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/GReddy-Tuner-Twin-Turbo-Kit-Nissan-350Z-VQ35DE-TD06-20G-/200604249034?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2eb4f1ebca#ht_5005wt_905

You will need to build the engine with forged parts to run more than 5 or 6 psi safely though.

Id go for the HKS supercharger kit as below

http://www.nengun.co...gt-supercharger

or the greddy japan twin turbo kit ( im not 100% but i think greddy USA also makes one which isnt exactly the same? )

The main point with the japanese kits is that firstly.. there wont be fitment issues from these brands, it will be like OEM. Secondly there wont be reliability issues from these ones.. they will again be like OEM. Sure the USA kits always give more power, but they dont offer the same reliability and fitment that the jap kits can. Especially in regards to fitment issues due to difference between left and right hand drive models.

Price wise the supercharger will be alot cheaper in regards to initial install as you arent paying for new exhaust components etc. and i would imagine require less work to get them fitted. The complete kit with engine management can be had for around $6500 which leaves you with $1500 for install. Probs better off with the pro kit though which is $1000 cheaper as it doesnt include extra injector ( which is fine but not great ) or ECU which your better off getting something that local tuners use.

With the SC kit am i still going to have to build the engine with forged parts or can i get away with stock to start with?

Kudos still have one 3037 kit left.

There are a few of us installing it so may as well get the same one so you have more support in getting it on!

I have just invested some $$ in getting a jap to english conversion of the manual done. Isnt perfect english but better than most chinese english instructions !

Well the HKS kit for example is a ready to go bolt on kit with no other requirements if it is run as provided. They only run relatively low boost so they will be fine with stock internals and compression. Obviousley once you start increasing boost you will need to upgrade the rest of the engine to cope better with it. It might be a good idea, at the very least though, to check the tune and A/F ratios etc on a dyno once the install has been done if you buy the complete kit or possibly even get it re-tuned. Its probably tuned for local conditions so things may vary with our fuel, temps etc. over here as well as any other mods you may have so better safe than sorry. Also might be worth a re-tune which should give a bit more power because being a bolt on kit, just like OEM engine management, it will have been tuned with some margin for error since each engine is never identical.

A shift kit for the auto is easy enough if you have the RE5, mine is handling tripple the stock torque. There are a few places I could recommend in Melbourne but I don't know of any up in new south sorry.

Its the 5 speed auto most of us have. There are a few valve body kits floating around for them but most good automatics places will have worked on them and made their own parts (for Nissan Patrol rock crawlers.)

Yep, I have the Transgo one fitted, upgrading the valve body. I also had major slippage so the clutches were upgraded with a full rebuild and high stall converter. It was the first one they had done like it, they had to laser cut the thinner steel plates to fit a few more clutch plates in. It cost $4000 all up around 2 years ago. Now you can probably get it done for half that.

It should handle a fair bit but I am aiming at 350-400awkw through it at perhaps 1400nm and no-one can tell me if it will let go. There aren't that many performance parts out there yet for the RE5 but they are coming.

      R34 Gt Auto Tuning

      If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.

      Semi-correction to my blanket statement that you can't bend rubber hoses. It seems that you can get most of a result, by doing as this guy does. I wouldn't promise that the bends will stay in the hose forever. I think if I found they wouldn't stay, I'd get a larger hose and cut some 90°s out to go over the bends I wanted to be in the smaller hose, as a reinforcement.

I've aksed the company i got it from for some help but it's passed their 90 day return so they wont help. I have to swap back to my old system this weekend 😭

      Does the car have to stay auto? If so, you might be looking at a ZF swap in future.
