ive just joined this forum, thanks for making this a memorable experience,appreciate who bothered to reply without being a wanker. All I asked was opinion on must do?

To the cock snot, way to make a skyline brother welcome

Baptism of fire son, baptism of fire. But that's the way, don't take no shit lol. Anyway, there's heaps of info on here about starting mods; have a good read, make a budget and list of what you're looking at doing then come back with it and ask. You're getting smartass replies cos ppl can't be fkt answering the same q's that have the answers easily available; best to do your own research then ask more specific q's.

HI,

I have a 94 GTST. Finally getn my ass into gear and do some upgrades.

I had thought, bigger turbo, front mount etc etc.

Any other ideas of what i MUST do?

Any comments at all.

cheers

Upgrade your suspension to something that's not shit, change all rubber bushings, full service, fix any leaks or other issues. Get better tyres.

Lots to do before looking at a front mount and bigger turbo.

that's proving the point...not hard at all to find that information, as you say...

also as Nizmo Man says, depends on what OP wants from said car, suspension upgrades can be a hell of a lot more worthwhile than doing power stuff and leaving handling shite.

thanks bro. all sorted, lots of rsearch, staying fairly standard, already have 3" and coil over, g2 high flow my stock turbo, leave existing afm, fmic, new gates racing timing kit (becaise it overdue).

What the best way to set up a cold air feed? also, do you know best dry pod filter?

Thanks, looks the same as what i had already put together, although im going to highflow the stock turbo through hypergear turbos in melbourne. also re-map the existing ecu <230rwkw?

Toshi does remaps on stock ecu

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
