Pretty sure there is a whole thread of basic mods to do. But as a reply to your questions;

- Turbo timer - Don't bother imo

- Boost controller - Greddy Profect B Spec II (I have one, it's awesome)

- Exhaust - depends what you're after... Cannon, twin tips, mufflers, decat or cat, etc etc... too many options

- Front sway bar - Whiteline, Pretty sure everyone recommends them for quality and how much of an upgrade they do

- Suspension - What suspension are you after? Springs? Coilovers? Adjustable arms? etc etc...

- I would also recommend an aftermarket in-tank fuel pump if you're going to up the boost, I've got a walbro 255 and it's good

- Also if you're going to up the boost, depending by how much, you'll need to get an aftermarket ECU. Haltech (expensive option), Apexi power FC (about a grand (I think)), NIStune (about $360 + you will need an R32 ECU (because R33 ones aren't tune-able))

Not sure about the other stuff though... I'm sure someone else can shed some light on it...

* turbo timer- probably not needed but it wont hurt either, I use a greddy unit

* boost controller- makes a big difference I use a Apexi AVCR,

* remote start / alarm system / key less entry- been told remote start makes it easy to steal

* front mount inter cooler- definitely, can be a toss up as far as quality, I use a $400 cooling pro

* exhaust- atleast 3inch with atleast one good oval muffler

* front sway bar

* suspension- be careful of spring rates, 8 in front and 5 in rear was recommended to me, don't want more than that

*after

also if you can think of any other things i can do that isn't to expensive to boost performance

thanks again sorry i am just new to this and would love to learn - make a plan of what you want to achieve first so you don't have to do things twice..

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
