* boost controller

* remote start / alarm system / key less entry

* front mount inter cooler

* exhaust

* front sway bar

* suspension

*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

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..

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope! 
    • I spotted a black C34 in Mittagong this morning!
