So I’ve got a new turbo on the way from Hypergear and wanted check whether I’ve got my supporting mods covered. The handling and brake upgrades etc have been done.

The car: '99 C34s2 RS4-S Stagea

Current Mods:

  • Greddy Front Mount Intercooler
  • 3" Full stainless steel Fujitsubo exhaust and stainless steel front pipe with 3" Venom 200cpi hi-flow cat
  • Nistune ECU
  • Turbosmart Boost Tee
  • Nismo High-Flow Volume Fuel Pump
  • HKS Panel Filter

The turbo: Hypergear ATR43SS2 inc billet comp wheel, oil line and 14psi actuator with Nissan 6bolt OEM assembly.

Mods to be installed with turbo:

  • Nismo 480cc Injectors
  • Z32 AFM
  • Scotty metal intake pipe

Is there anything else I should be considering? Subscribing to the “do it once, do it right” philosophy here, so would much rather spend a bit more on quality parts now rather than have troubles and/or dissatisfaction down the track.

Would it be worth ditching the Turbosmart Boost Tee in favour of a Greddy Profec B Spec II? Is upgrading to a Splitfire coilpack going to make a difference?

Cheers guys.

The t will be fine my greedy boost controller sits in the car not hooked up just ended up using a t much easier to tune with and if your stock coil packs are holding up they will be fine too but some time down the track they will need replacing , have you got the plug with afm

Cool. Yep the one I bought comes with a Tomei plug.

i basically done everything u done above with same turbo except for the injectors and only have cat back zaust.

Main mods i would have liked to have completed if funds permitted would have been injectors, dump pipe, ebc, shift kit, cams & greddy plenum. Its a good turbo by the way excellent midrange

Internal gate, so a EBC might be worth it... depending how hard you want to lean on it .External gates are a different story.

Ill be interested to see how it goes, was so close to getting the ss2

cheers

Yeah I'm worried about it being too laggy... my understanding is that an EBC can help bring boost on sooner?

R34 GTT Brake conversion...

You might as well do oil and plugs while your at it... especially plugs before a tune.

Gaskets (as above) and vac line.

I'm interested to see how you go with the ss2 on a heavy stag.

Cheers

PS... an ebc will only bring the boost on sooner if the actuator is 'blowing' open prematurely. it can't make the turbo spool any faster.

R34 GTT Brake conversion...

It has R33 gts-t brakes with slotted rotors atm.

I should probably mention that I'll be getting this all done at a workshop... I'm not game to tackle something this big!

Fuel pump?

See first post - it has a Nismo fuel pump ;)

Ouch work shop sounds expensive

Yeah it won't be cheap, but at least it will all be installed at once and then tuned. Thus my reason for wanting to make sure I haven't overlooked anything!

Just out of curiosity Andrew, what kind of costs have you been quoted for the new Turbo and Injectors, etc? Interested in doing those upgrades as well, I've got the same (almost identical) Mods to you at the moment, so I'm pretty keen to know what I'd be up for.

In relation to the SplitFire coil packs, I'd highly recommend the upgrade, whether your existing packs are good or not, if you've got the cash to spare, get the new packs, you won't regret it. The existing stock coilpacks will most definitely shit themselves at some stage.

The total for the turbo as described above was $1500 delivered. PM Stao from Hypergear for a quote.

The injectors, I'm getting through forum member 'elrodeo666'. Marcus is able to order directly from Nismo in Japan. The total was $725 delivered.

Who's tuning/fitting it all ?, i got the G3 type A, be interesting to see the difference when finished, mines auto though

Your car will be a allrounder after turbo fitment, looks so bloody good , will have the speed to go with it to !

cheers

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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.
