Good morning/arvo ladies and gents :(...

Got a question as just recent aquired one myself... about what sorta mods ppl do, for their stage 1, as this thing is pretty much stock as a rock, and just recent discovered theres lag in spooling and have no idea what it is, ive checked the intake pipes, and tightened the clamps but still its there, before hand it had a nice hard head splitting kick to her spooling, now it feels like a grandma driving it... :)

EDIT::: it may possibly be bad fuel but that doesn't seem the case as a few mates use the same servo's as i do {BP Ultimate} at the same locations around Gold Coast and they have never had a problem... so any info might help thx... shes only 6 days old :) cant have her gettin beaten by bashed up camrys now :( as it did last night *rather astonished and dismayed , wanting revenge :D *

what it has atm is the boys down in sydney developed a replica from Japans Performance ultra low coil suspension, in which theres not much movement, but great handling, its got the 2 degree or there abouts camber kit on the rear and possibly the front aswell... with 17" 235's, and also a Pod setup [Apexi] and was curious what would be the next step and where some good places for performance parts can be found etc...

any info would be advantagious as this is the first skyline that i have the chance to do mods to, so its a new learning curve :)

Cheers all,

Nekryd

thanks, well atm, all i want to see done is stage 1 over and done with, any suggestions are welcome...

for what most ppl do for stage 1... in preparing for the stage 2 / 3 yada step ups... or the major overhall in 1 hit that i know a few have done...

what i need is some help in the understanding of what should be done in Stage 1, first up in prep for all the mods later, i know u need a power band u wanna aim for but atm, to be honest... aslong as everything is function/breathing and runs 10psi or more wid minimal shit, will keep me happy till i toss the manifolds fling the turbo and all the rest...

cheers.

to be honest id get an ecu first... then follow that with a fuel pump/regulator. do exhaust (cat back or turbo back). front mount intercooler. after this id look at doing boost increases altho u could get away with it after doing ecu

but if u dont wanna spend much money i would buy a safc, exhaust and then a boost controller.... i had 170rwkws with this setup (mine has an apexi pod aswell)

i guess the first stage in a stock gtst is to remove all the stock limitations and stock hardware. things you'll most likely consider or replace:

$1200 Ish fitted

full 3" exhaust, hiflow cat, new dump and front pipe

** stock exhaust is very restrictive

$1200 kit not including fitting (brand new)

front mount intercooler

** stock intercooler is tiny

(apexi safc $400 not fitted and tuned) / chipped ecu $350

apexi safc II / chippable ECU / piggyback system

** stock ecu has boost / fuel cuts, apexi safc or piggyback will help bring on power quicker and trick the ecu into more/less airflow

boost controller - $300

**stock boost is 5psi until 4500rpm then 7psi. aftermarket will allow you to set whatever you like. no more than 12psi is recommend as youll get boost cut on the ecu and won't make any more power. you can get a bleed valve for $100 or you can get a good second hand electronic boost controller, around $300 ? hks ez 2 or 3?

pineapple kit in the rear to help traction - $200

** stock suspenion is OK but this will prevent axle tramp or at least help it a lot

the stock skyline is about 130rwkw and above mods should net you around 170rwkw ish ? maybe 190 with full replacement ecu such as power fc

stage 2 is most likely

bigger injectors $700 (new)

aftermarket turbo $2000 (new)

full replacement ecu $1400 (new)

twin plate clutch $1400 (new)

new air flow meter $300 (2nd hand)

new fuel pump $300 (2nd hand)

255 or 265 tyres $1000 (new)

depending on turbo new manifold and wastegate $1500 ?

the list goes on, and theres a lot more stuff for stage 2 that ive listed thats just some off the top of my head. stage 2 is around 260rwkw ish depending on turbo etc. with a bigger turbo comes more lag

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
