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 normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
