I had originally planned to purchase a few more items this month, but unfortunately the realities of life stepped in and, well....BILLS!!

But I have a little bit of budget left over and looking at buying the following, so am currently looking around:

1. either GT2530's or N1's

2. Coilovers

3. Power FC or F-con Pro

4. Adjustable cam gears

I was looking at an exhaust system but out of budget for now. Oh and wheels of course as they are stockies. Looking at a set of BBS LM's.

My car is stock (R33 GT-R). Coilovers are a must as 3 struts are leaking as found in the last service.

I have been looking on ebay etc. but if anyone has anything that fits my shopping list and they are looking to sell shoot me a message.

Does anyone have any idea how much this all may cost to get installed once I buy it?

Cheers.

Few holes in there. HKs gt2530s for 400+kws or n1/2860-7 for a touch over 300

A turbo swap on a GTR won't be cheap and will probably eat up all of your budget

Don't get an f-con no one can tune then in Canberra (only hks pro dealers can and closest one is in Sydney or Brisbane)

What suspension are you looking at getting? You get what uyou pay for

Bigger turbos will need bigger injectors, there is no point getting the turbos fitted and the ecu tuned only to have to retune again when you want more than the 280rwkws or do the standard ones will give, a bigger fuel pump is a must have and factor in z32 or nismo afm's they run out of resolution at around 300rwkws

Also factor in a new good quality front pipe, plus might as well change the dump pipes while the turbos are out, a 3 -1/2" exhaust or better, you might also find the ignition system isn't up to the task.

The way I would do it,

Ecu, front pipes and cat back, suspension, fuel pump and mantinance eg new ignition coils

Have it tuned At STANDARD boost on the stock turbos to make sure they live a while, whilst saving for the new turbos injectors, afm's etc

Hmmm...I have about 4-5k all up at this point.

Looking at a good condition second hand pair of HKS coilovers from a member on here.

How much is it to swap the turbo's?

Ahk. I can't say I have ever heard any thing good about the HKS suspension

The BC coilovers whilst cheap are meant to be quite good and for all accounts are the same as the GReddy type S stuff, plus they will be brand new

So your 5kbudget will get you those, get some new white line sway bars too

Will leave you 3k, so a nice set of 75mm front pipes and a 3 -1/2" exhaust will be a little over a grand

A 2nd hand pfc will be ~1000 and should leave you enough for a tune

Or leave the ecu and get some wheels :)

To buy and fit the turbos you will have no budget left or very little

So without upgrading the turbo's and doing the exhaust system and ecu what sort of extra performance would I be looking at?

Its currently making 222awkw and its stock except boost restrictor removed and boost set at 10psi and CASA has been spun.

I guess my main reason for wanting to do the turbo's is because of the ceramic standard turbo's and concern if one blows etc. Not sure if I can bump the boost up more than it currently is?

Also can anyone recommend a good complete exhaust system and where to buy them here in Canberra?

If you are buying garrett turbos or bc suspension, get in touch with street to track. Has the best prices I've come across

Exactly the link I was going to post

Spoke to him yesterday and he quoted $1135 for a set for my 33 and my neighbours 34 posted to same address.

Prices are even better if the AUS dollar gets better

So I think this is what I have decided on:

  • Front pipe
  • Cat back
  • Apexi Power FC
  • Adjustable cam gears
  • Coilovers

This will leave me about $1400 left over. Anyone have any idea whether this will pay for the install of these items?

Maybe we could do a 3 way buy and get the price down even more?

Guessing you live in the ACT so we could get all 3 sets posted to the one address..

Let me know if your interested I will be ordering mine in the next month

Shipping is quick through him as well.

But I doubt you will get them any cheaper getting them all posted to the same address. The coilovers and the box they come in weighs 45lbs and they are shipped via ups so it's expensive regardless.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
