Hey guys..

Just after some clues on what would be a good next upgrade.

I have a couple grand saved and was thinkin either between a Apexi SAFC or

FMIC or turbo back 3" hi-flow cat exhaust??

What you think I should do next to get the most out of my RB25DET

My mods at the moment are: Apexi Power Filter, 3" Cat back, GFB plummed bov, turbosmart T boost control.

I got the front strut brace, I'm thinking about taking care of suspension a little later down the line.

Im looking to pump more power out of the RB25 then to keep it on the ground I'll look at suspension.

Which one?

1. 3" turbo back exhaust ?

2. FMIC?

3. Apexi SAFC?

4. or any other ideas?

id definately be going for a good suspension set-up to help with the launches and getting the power to the ground.

my 2c

What kind of suspension setup would you be looking at for for the runs?

And how much would I been looking for a decent setup?

I dont really wanna push more than $1k on suspension but if you guys could give me the rough idea on what I'd be looking for.

a bit of topic but i was wondering performance wise if a hi flow cat peforms better than a gutted stock cat or vice versa. In regards to suspension, i would personally go lowered king springs accompanied by bistein shocks which would set you back no more than an 1k brand new as oppose to 2nd hand jap suspensions.

Can anyone else point me in the direction of some springs and shocks?

I dont just want aftermarket suspension just for the f@rk of it..

I'd rather spend a lil more but no im getting the quality and right bang for my buck on the strip.. u know?!?

What does gutting the cat involve? Isn't that what you do to make dim sims :)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
