fuel pump

Your mods don't add up to big power. Unless your existing pump is on the way out - why bother? If you do need one, there are plenty of options out there - walbro, nismo etc. You'll probably be looking at $300+ including pump to get this fitted depending on the brand of pump.

blow-off valve

Your existing blow-off valve should be fine. Changing it to aftermarket will get you defected. As you've already said you're in SA - the cops will know what they're looking for, and you will be sent to Regency for a full inspection.

boost gauge

If you have a GTT, your car should already have one.

air intake pod

Un-necessary. If you do want one - go down to Autbarn, pick up a K&N - but make sure you follow the laws and get it securely attached to the body, or this will be considered a defect.

turbo timer + auto start system

Both of these are illegal under the ADRs as they allow the vehicle to run whilst it does not have keys in the ignition. With regards the turbo-timer, it's entirely not needed with today's turbos - if you've been driving hard, and you're concerned, take it easy for the last 5 minutes of the trip and ensure your oil temperatures have a chance to come down.

Coilovers

You'll need to be careful what you purchase here. Many coilovers won't pass a Regency inspection (though you may be lucky). Typically those are able to be lowered more than legal ride height and haven't been engineered will score you a defect or not let you past a Regency inspection. Expect to pay $1500+ including fitting here.

Intercooler Kit

nistune+dyno

Both good plans here, but you'll also need to consider a full 3" turbo-back exhaust to get the most out of it. Ensure that it's of a legal exhaust noise or once again - it will get picked up by police, and it will not pass a Regency inspection.

Expect to pay $1000-1200 for the exhaust, $700+ for the intercooler (+ more for fitting, depending what you get), nistune + dyno time will probably set you back another $1000 or so.

As these are all 'go fast' modifications, I also suggest you look at ensuring the car handles and brakes better, amongst other things:

  • A good quality alarm. Every coupla weeks we see cars getting stolen. Get something good, don't park it in dodgy areas. Also look at extra security items like kill switches and club locks.
  • Upgrade your brake package - better pads, rotors, braided brake lines, etc.
  • As you've listed coilovers above, any significant lowering will require camber kits if you don't want to wear your tyres out within 10,000km. At this point you'll probably want to also fit a castor kit, and maybe stiffer swaybars.
  • A good quality set of tyres. This is your contact patch between your and the ground - most people underestimate how important a good set of tyres are to both handling and stopping.

Good luck with your car.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
