I know its probably been covered but i'm sure this thread will be useful.

I'm looking for everything needed to upgrade my GTR to 2530's, I need some advice on a couple of things. If I've missed something I may need please let me know.

I'm using PFC and Blitz EBC

Cam gears are already in use

What fuel pump should i use, is a nismo replacement ok?

Injectors? 550cc? 600cc? and whats the most reasonably priced?

HKS turbo extensions, anything better?

Front pipes and cat back is done.

I want to use an oil cooler with a thermostat, any suggestions? HKS S type looks good.

I need a better baffled sump for the track also I believe? Just jap one ok?

Intercooler? Thinking of running with the standard one for now?

OS twin plate seams to be the standard?

Am I overlooking anything?

Thanks

Simmo

At the moment im running 2530's on my car with power fc, avc-r, nismo 600cc injectors (although theyre being thrown out as theyre stuffed), unsure what fuel pump but the fuel system hasnt maxed out and the cars run 1.6 bar (im going to id the pump soon, just need to stop being lazy and do it :) ) and z32 afm's. Im unsure as to wether the oil cooler is actually required or not, I do give my car a hard time, but the oil temp has never edged just over 90. Im also running the standard intercooler, but I believe its starting to become a big restriction, so am looking to get it replaced soon.

As for ignition, i was advised im stretching it to the limit, and its up to me if I want to upgrade it or not. I was reccomended to install a CDI system to up the charge from the coils/plugs and this also gives a "cleaner" spark apparantly.

Im also running standard camshafts and camgears but these are getting replaced soon too.

Thanks meshmesh very handy indeed.

Amaru, thanks. On the street I don't think oil temp should be a hassle, but atm with 215kw atw's I have no poblem getting my oil temp above 110 at the track, normally that or my brakes dictates the amount of laps I can string together.

I think I can get away with standard AFM's but will look into it, cheers.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
