Have you got a pod filter installed? that will make your spool louder aswell as the low revs fluttering but, if you want the flutter louder again get a metal intake pipe and if you want Vl style tsuuuu tsuuuuuu tsuuuuuuu fully hectic brah flutters you need to block off your bov altogether.

You can pick up a lot of good basic mods cheap second hand btw. Other than that simple things like intercoolers, boost T's, pod's and exhausts can be had on ebay cheap new. People will tell you that "oh noes is not japanese it will break " Which is a crock of shit Ive used plenty of cheap basic parts and none of it has failed me yet nor had any side effects. Theres cheap parts you can buy new and then theres stuff you dont buy at all.

If you were I (CWHUTIDIDTHAR) my first line of mods would be:

  • pod/panel filter (Imo I prefer pod filters in a cold air box compared to panel filters in the stock airbox ) *You can make yourself a cold air box out of aluminium sheet pretty easy or steel if your on a budget.
  • exhaust
  • FMIC Intercooler 600x300x75 with 2.5 inch piping max for a standard rb25
  • Electronic boost controller or boost T + gauge (to wind the boost up a little)

That should get you started on the power train and not cost much if you dont go electronic boost controller

Go and do a skid now :P

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
