Hi guys

I got my hands on a T4 (XTR) Turbo. ball bearing,high-flow etc. I managed to source it from a guy who literally forgot he had it. I came across it when we were moving stuff out of his garage and I bought it for peanuts.

I'm wondering what other components are vital to be installed prior/with having the T4 installed. My initial thoughts as per SAU is:

FMIC

Z32 AFM

Boost controller

Injectors

Fuel pump

ECU

Although I've heard other responses where they've advised FMIC, controller, and ECU should be sufficient until 'x' amount of power.

I'm not chasing massive power gains.. but the more I read this back to myself, the more I sound impatient. Lol.

Lol.. awesome response to my last post.

..anyway, just thought I would update my thread and post my pretty wheels.

19" Work TE37s. Fronts are 8.5", rears are 9.5" +22

The rears came with 275/35 rubber but was too wide and caused it to rub against the perch of the strut.. so I had to get 235/30. Although it may have been different if I had coilovers installed rather than the upgraded Juran branded stuff that's on there atm.

Btw, the 275/35's are for sale! Plenty of tread on them! http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/395678-fs-stockies-with-rubber-and-rubber/

lads, just a quick question..

I have a pod filter (airynx) on C34 (99, s2 neo) installed a FMIC, replaced coilpacks (splitfire) and upgraded to larger injectors.. at the moment its still driving a bit rough

would upgraded injectors call for a new tune?

Bigger injectors without a tune will make it run rich and more than likely foul the plugs causing a misfire.

I don't mean any disrespect but if you have done this maybe you should research things a bit more first before doing upgrades like this. Saves you any dramas.

I was told, via SAU, the injectors wouldn't cause an issue as the increase of CC's wasn't off the charts.. its no biggy. I can take them out and eliminate the items one by one. but from other threads, I thought I was going down a common path.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
