Been a while since I bought my skyline with some goodies now.. (STREET ONLY I'm too scared for track, let alone going over the speed limit haha.. Seriously)

Bare in mind I've only driven it about 5 times anyway.

I've got a massive turbo.. Probably too big for street use, can only just get traction after turbo spools up if I'm feathering the throttle (around 5600rpm I hit full boost - T04e turbo)

I know little about cars in general let alone a turbo import and not quite sure if what I did first was correct.. When I bought the car I paid too much for starters but I'm over that.. (It's gold and has some nice nismo badges etc. outside the car)

Straight away I took it for a tune, it had a mines ECU

I gained 79kw and 110torque for a hefty price. First tuner I've ever been to but he was pretty helpful.

Since then I was pulled over and the cop let me off with a warning thank god.. For my atmo BOV, Screamer and too low..

Next day I took it to performance suspension to get it jacked up a bit to legal height.. Was my exhaust that was sitting waaaay too low but still on alright..

They knew my car aha and said it has pretty crappy coilovers in it, not sure if they just wanted business but anyway that ruined my day a little more

So NOW it's sitting at home and I am not risking driving it as I do not have my opens.....

Since then those goodies have piled up.

I now have:

-550cc injectors

-kompact Turbosmart Plumback BOV :)

-Yellow Jackets

-Home-Made Pod Cover

NOT on the car.. So that means I will have to go for another tune? Yes? Also I think it's a pretty CRAP FMIC and tuner said the piping is Restricting airflow because its too small.. Yay :(

So what's a nice and big but not too big? Lol

Also suspension? Looking at BC BR coilover herd alot of good stuff with softer springs for street use

Really! sorry for being all over the place I am trying to be quick :/

AND I got no screamer pipe at all it's just hot air straight to my turbos oil line -_- so I'm plumbing that back also, how much you reckon all this will cost me?

Get my opens in November so I gotta start saving $$$$

QUICK EDIT

After my 1st tune I was talking about I had boost tap installed and a chipTorque chip for the ECU

What car and engine is it? Is it an HR31 or R32 with an RB 20 and GTSR T04E or a 33 with a 25? 2.5 inch piping for the intercooler is usually enough for what most people want but 3 inch is pretty common also. If you have lag now adding a large FMIC and long 3" piping can add to it. FMIC can be had for about 250, depending on your car a kit maybe for 500ish.

Sorry hcr32 type m rb20det

I'd say the piping is about 2.3inch. Smaller than the turbos intake side also smaller than the holes on intercooler where it connects

My lack of confidence comes from the policeman waiting to book me and not being able to control my ass end when there's no traction, hate drifting don't really want to know how

As for the turbo I know as much as I was told.. T04e not sure about any specs or what not

    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
    • Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
    • Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
