Jer this is all you need to notice an improvement like what zebra said

Nistune = $400

Tune = $750

Total = $1150

Optional addons

AFM = $200

Injectors = $600

Fuel pump = $200

Coilpacks = $450

Turbo = $900

Plus any parts that aren’t working that are discovered at the tuning phase... :unsure:

I had some nice surprises...

- Coilpacks = $450

- VCT Solenoid = $200

Even after buying an aftermarket pump (bosch 040) It wasn't working properly. Threw in a Walbro = $110

Great surprises!

It was totally worth it though. Fixed some small bugs I had plus the power. Best 3-4k spent on the car

Jez no need for a turbo.

You could go from 150-160rwkw now to 190ish just with nistune and a bit more boost.

Believe me it makes a difference.

Not to mention you can get a big gain in the midrange which makes them a lot of fun

The benefit of a Nistune would be the option to retune for more power with more supporting mods down the track.

ie. injectors and Hiflow etc. (SAFC won't really do this)

I thought the gains would potentially be greater than that for just a Nistune and tune though.

For 2.5k-3k. I would get a Haltech, RB20 Wastegate actuator, a walbro pump and a tune. Should be about $2.7k. Would make about 220rwkw which is heaps.

- Injectors should handle up to 235rwkw

- R34 Stock Turbo should be a OP6 so it's big anyways

- Haltech is better than Nistune.

I think the above prices are not installed, so you would need to include labour. Labour is expensive at between $90-$140 per hour. Haltech, wastegate and pump should be easy to install yourself.

Yeah :( I am kicking myself that any direction over 200kw is at least 3k. Hmmmm

edit: Cheers guys for the info. I think a hard decision will need to be made in the coming of weeks.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
