well yeah, greatly.

what boost are you planning to run?

what cams are you going for?

Devs will be able to give you a much better answer I can cos I don't know.

depends what runs out first, boost/fuel/....stock bottom end

Not sure what cams. But the adjustable cam gears will give a nice lumpy idle if wanted.

I will post a the specs of the parts once I have talked to Jezz later today.

Thank you all for the comments & advice as this is my first RB & I want it done right the first time.

Mate. I'm in Singleton an hour in land from Newcastle. I've just spent $30,000 on my engine giving my 260RS a massive upgrade with Powertune in Sydney.

I have GTR N1 - 7 turbos for sale with dump pipes. As well as lumpy cam shafts. Plus a heap of other bits and pieces off the 260RS.

My car was reliably making 415bhp with stock internals for many years before a big end bearing on number 2 cylinder packed it in.

Hit me up if you're interested to pop up to Singleton for a look.

As for Newcastle tuners. Try Black track at the end of the freeway. I rate their work highly. But they are near impossible to get to answer the phone, so just pop in one day and have a yarn to em.

Jezz has ordered Tomei type b poncams and os giken adjustable camgears

I really can't rely on the factory boost gauge so I thought I could get the video output from the Halech into the aux input on my clarion head unit. Or get a multi function display that runs independently. Any thought or recommendations?

Thank you in advance.

Out of curiosity, How did you manage to spend $2500 replacing the headunit?

Clarion motorised 7" screen DVD iPod CD BUILT IN NAVIGATION reverse camera sub & amp

The navigation built into the head unit really bumped the price about $1500 just for the Clarion plus the rest & fitting

I really wanted it to look original when the screen is not in use.

Sorry been working last few days...

I have GT2560R's 7 ball already not sure of the difference, what other bits do you have?

It's in from this Saturday so I should pick it up next week. I might bring it for a run up the valley for a shake down. & catch up.

Finally it has started, next week the power will be unleashed, I hope!

Haltech will arrive Monday morning Just the fuel pump & injectors to go in so hopefully mid week pick up & test fly....
Thank you to everyone that did reply & help me find the correct way to go, I'm confident the car will be great UNTILL I need more.
Because as I have seen everyone wants more.

So I obviously gave up on the MINE'S ECU & have started down the Haltech route.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
