Upgrade / Parts Advice..

[skysaresilver]

Howdy every1,

Finally decided to spend a significant amount of money (for myself anyway) on the car and was needing advice on where to source the following parts [at the best price ofcourse] from melbourne area....

These are the parts i have currently:

* 3" exhaust from cat

* safcII

* rsm

* turbo timer

* blitz high-flow panel filter

* ebc green stuff race pads

She's pretty stock as you can see... so looking for advice on parts, i have a fair list already in my head on what i'm doing to both increase hp, but also looks :headspin:

It is a R33 s1 auto... parts i'm looking to buy are:

*Either trust or hks fmic with piping (from nungen)

*apexi avc-r (from nungen)

*Carbon fibre bonnet like one sold through UAS... need to find supplier in Melb

*Veilside rear bumper... need to find supplier in Melb

* A workshop who can repair fibreglass (only minor), respray my front bar and also spray and fit the new rear bumper....

* Also interested in purchasing a new turbo, don't know heaps about the different models, want to make around 210-220kw atleast, any suggestions... had my eye on a hks gt2530 or gt2540 but don't know if there the best or not - must be quick spool.... any help would be great

That's about it for the moment.... the other parts i know where to get them and at reasonable prices (eg. new front/dump pipe etc) - mostly concerned with the carbon bonnet and Veilside rear bumper

Any help appreciated,

Cheers

ok, fill try cover some of your point

* Sell you SAF-C & RSM, and buy a PowerFC if you want to do turbo it's the only way to go.

* Also, get a HKS EBC III or IV, dont worry about the AVC-R, HKS items are better.

* Also, exhaust, anywhere in Vic, shop around. Professional Exhaust in Airport West are

cheap, and good workmanship.

* Personally i'd factor in for a manual conversion... then the PFC will work a treat

For tuning, ICE Performance best place IMO for you to take your car with what you've got

first i would get a transmission cooler if i were you (keep the auto cool) $80

then i would get a front/dump pipe from BABMBL (check the business for sale section) $240

then i would buy a second-hand FMIC ($500) and get the piping custom made (PM me i got mine done for $250)

then i would agree with the above in that sell your SAFC and RSM and get a better management system. i'm thinking of going to unichip when i get the money as not too many systems work well with the auto

Cheers guys,

Already got the trans cooler under control and was looking at the front/dump pipe which is sold through ebay the 'flyn' one..... the intercooler is no problems i don't mind spending the bit extra and getting a complete bolt-on kit.....

I don't know why you are both telling me to sell my safcII and rsm, yet keep the avc-r and get a aftermarket computer for the auto of which none are completely suited for the job... well from searches i've done on the site in the past everyone agrees there in not a auto aftermarket computer which can perform the job to the standard that it can on a manual vehicle...

I'm not doing a conversion from auto to manual.... if i was going to do that i would have bought a manual in the first place??

Anyway, does anyone have an idea on where i can get carbon fibre bonnets in melbourne area, otherwise i'll just pay the extra freight costs and get it sent from UAS in sydney...

Many Thanx

adrian

i can get ur turbo rebuilt with bigger wheels n housings (if u want that - cheaper than a 2540 or similar) with a new dump pipe

if ur gonna keep the slushbox a powerfc wont work (can be done but sometimes doesnt work) get a wolf or microtech like my setup - no afm

sell the safc2 and rsm

oh n btw i dont want u 2 get a carbon fibre bonnet... i want to b the only 1 in town with one - uas cost me 1200 delivered (INASNT may be able to get u cheaper - also he can get the rear bar too)

[KamikazeR33]

oh n btw get a hks evc3 like mine - simple to use n can be setup with anything - internal, external gate, twin setup n just bout any other setup (can read push or pull boost pressure)
