Hey guys,

Need to reintroduce myself, I was initially a R33 owner about 4 years ago, then did the whole Toyota scene, and now I'm back with a recently co-purchased 1999 RS4 S.. 5 spd RB25DET Neo etc..

I say co-purchased, as it is my dads who will be retiring very soon, and will use it until he decides to leave Australia.. then it will be mine, ALL MINNNEE!!

So the car came with a few extras which surprised me considering its imported.. BOV, exhaust, boost guage - I would have thought those would have been stripped - aftermarket H/U (japanese), r-spec turbo timer, 2 sets of Pioneer TV antennae's, and has these other funky gadget which I'll try take photos of because I don't know what is. Its located behind the back seat.. and it has WARN, FULL and CURRENT

More to come..

+1 for bigger rims. Not sure wat style I want.. currently photoshopping to pass time.

Should I do the whole VIP style? Or go something a bit more Tempe tyres? Haha.. this will be interesting.

Black RE30's with polished lip would look nice I reckon :)

i think thats a car alarm dude, hornet make alarms, they have WARN mode and CURRENT sensor depending on model?

haha yeah, i just figure that out.. dont know why it didnt occur to me straight away. I think I was still in giddy mode and was looking forward to never before seen Japanese gizmo's.

Cheers tho!

hey guys,

looking to create a checklist of mods for the stagea. I'm still getting my head around the whole tuning and mods thing, so please feel free to ask questions if I'm not clear on what I'm saying.. lol

Currently, exhaust system has been fitted. I havent had a chance to jack the car up and have look at it.. but definitely one of the MUST DO things with all imports.

Boost controller (GFB G-Force ~$350)

FMIC (HDI - I see a few of u guys have these installed without any drama's?

BC coilovers & rims

Nistune ECU w/ z32 AFM (?). I'm not looking to break any records, but looking to have some sort of freedom to tune. As a daily, will a z32 really be necessary?

Again, feel free to suggest, critique, lol at my list..

<3

I was in the same position as you a few months back. My car already had a Nismo 2 1/2 inch cat back system, but after asking around and reading the info on here I went with a 3 inch system from the turbo back with a high flow cat, Nistune, fuel pump, and a turbo tech boost controller. I put the boost up to 10psi and got 204kw on the dyno with 494kw torque. I talked to my tuner about getting a z32, and he said there was no point until I started chasing more power as the stock one could handle it.

    • I downloaded the apps (for windows) and Consult 1 doesn't have this function on it for the Consult 1 plug which I'm pretty sure all Skylines have. You would think someone would have a workaround after 30 years for all Skylines which have ABS.
    • Also, I don't know the actual ABS system on the skylines, but a sneaky thing could be a piece of electronic equipment that makes the ABS think you're moving, and then same piece can send a signal for a locked up tyre... Activate ABS without slamming brakes...
    • The team at OBD2 Australia are pretty good, shoot them an email and ask them. I've dealt with them before for work stuff. I'd be shocked if it didn't work, so long as Consult can activate the ABS. But you might need to use KLine for it which would be the stopper, as I don't think that piece does KLine comms.
    • Yeah and hence my ghetto way of slamming the brakes, get the ABS to cycle, rebleed seems to be a sensible workaround.
    • Hey! Happy to help. Nothing inherently wrong with the adapter, it's more so with Brett Collins himself. He gave me a lot of incorrect information when I was in contact with him and was extremely rude when I challenged him. He stated I could not use any aftermarket twin plate clutches except for his own, not to use the dush shield, bla bla bla and it was all BS.  Collins stated to cut roughly 14mm's off the housing, I took off 15mm to make room for the dust shield. I would confirm with whatever adapter manufacturer you're using.
