Hey guys,

I decided to go for the R32 gts4.

I was just wondering, i have $5k to spend o n the car, for mods etc.. (won't get very far) But can someone make a short list, of some mods, that will help with handling, and also, what are some small mods i should get to improve the power od the car ?

Also, has anyone got any idea on how much a new paint job will cost ? or has anyone got any ideas of a good place to go to, to get it done ? (Im in Victoria)

Thanks

Obviously i havnt got it yet. Ive just decided to go for it over the gtst, and i only have a limited ammount of cash to spend on mods.

Im still deciding out of 2 gts4's that are on carsales.com.au. Theres a nice Black one for $17.500 which i might go for, but its Auto.

Any idea on a rough cost to get a Auto converted to Manual ?

Thanks

First time you line up with a falcodore at the lights and its like today in Melb (WET) you will know you made the right choice! :)

DO - change all fluids unless already done. Change Fuel and Oil filters.

Check in boot on drivers side for fluid level in AWD txfr case reservoir.

New plugs - Plat NGK's, New panel filter, remove front entry plastic into air box behind headlight but leave bit attached at front to rad support panel so no hot under hood air coming in. DONT put on POD! Remove mesh on AFM.

Replumb waste gate solenoid reference from near Turbo comp outlet to the inlet manifold so better response. Check under plastic boots that go ontop of plugs for arcing of springloaded contacts and file flat if corroded. Fit accurate boost gauge to check no overboosting or problems with vacuum. Do not play with boost until you have the gauge installed. Reset ECU - disconnect bat. then foot on brake, reconnect.

If an Auto dont replace ByPass valve on engine crossover pipe with a BOV -stuffs response and does not need a BOV like a manual. :)

Then...

3" Exhaust / Etc.

1. Decent Service with the most expensive shit you can afford (engine oil, oil filter, fuel filter, injector clean, check belts, coolant, power steering fluid, air filter, a/f meter clean, brake pads, brake fluid, check timing, gearbox oil, new spark plugs)

2. Advanced Driving Course

3. Skidpan day

4. Skidpan day again

5. Trackday

6. Another trackday

7. Yet another trackday

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.

      Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
