Yeah mine get warm quite quick. It definitely something on my list to upgrade once the boat is back in my harbour

Slotted rotors could be the go then. Good quality pads as well.

Save money, sell car, buy GTR, ???, Profit?

or

Fluids, brakes and rotors etc. Then spend 6k on tyres and entry fees into sprint days, hill climbs, drift days, skid pans etc.

or

6-7k on hookers and blow.

All 3 options are better avenues than a slight power upgrade in a 33...

So coming to end of the year ill be finished with paying off the car.

Want to upgrade the car

All suspension side is sorted(away bars, coil overs, bracing, bushes etc.)

So I was thinking front mount with plenum gtr style, 80mm throttle body, upgraded fuel rail, hi flow 34 turbo, electronic boost tee, electronic bov, 450lph fuel pump, 550cc injectors, Ecu ( not sure on Ecu yet), fix the zorst and new clutch and clutch lines

Then a pain after all that

Any other mods? Or suggestions to not do some? Or brands

anything

Inputs

Coments

Numbers for new to town ladies

Cheap parts

plenum is a waste of money with such little mods, ditto for the throttle body and fuel rail.

550 injectors in the standard fuel rail with the standard fuel pressure regulator.

boost controller, high flow turbo or similar bolt on kit, stock bov with the top crushed to increase spring pressure (there is a thread on here about it somewhere) 255lph fuel pump, 400 is overkill.

brakes are going to be slotted with ebc greens atm if anyone can suggest decent pads for a decent price aswell

how much are the pads you guys are talking about?

$80 for a pair of QFM HPXs

Ebc is good but also exxy.

This. About $400 for the fronts tho.

If I recall going through brakesdirect/ GSL rally they were $180 per rotor for front and yeah as Tony said $80 for the HPX pads.

GTR radiator could help. They're full aluminium and a cheap upgrade.

Pretty sure they are identical to the gtst one alloy core plastic end tanks.

The mods sound about right.

Nistune

R34 highflow

500ish cc injectors

Fuel pump? If not already done.

Front mount, I reccommend the return flow ones.

Boost controller

Some sort of plumbed back bov and boom 270 to 290rwkw of super fun happytimes.

Forget the plenum. I made 330rwkw using the stock one. You will be fine.

Got a 33 GTR radiator sitting at home. It's all metal. No plastic end tanks. Not sure if alloy or aluminium. Will check

In that case I am pretty sure that isn't stock then! Could be wrong.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
