Probably best to lurk your way around the general or forced induction sections and get feel for what your looking for first. There is alot of technical knowledge in there for beginners like yourself and you will learn alot.

The cooler would probably be the next step followed by some kind of engine/fuel management (powerfc, safc, etc, etc) then you go to the manifolds and or new turbo. With all that, if you do it right, you should be able to double your power from stock. Internal work is for serious budgets and serious power (or exploded engines) :)

Hopefully that gives you somewhere to start but i still suggest having a look in the tech sections. Do a search if you want to research something specific.

Everyone has their own opinion best to make ure own mind up.

Oh and welcome to da forums

like boostzor said....

look at getting a front mount and or some engine management.

if your not looking for huge power but a fast car (about 13.2 for 1/4 and ~270ish rwhp) then go for the safc and the fmic and maybe upgrade to an ebc if you have a bleed valve....

but there is plenty of info already on the forum in the search area :(

first make sure your fuel pump is running ok - if it isnt it can cause major problems e.g pinging.

Do FMIC 1st, you can buy a trust kit from $800 now (on specail at greenline and negun) or else get a hybrid cooler (they sell from around $250 to $400) and then get the piping made up for you (cost is around $600-$700); then go safc 2 or PFC, I would go PFC as it is a complete ecu and then you do have to sell the safc2 down the track and then buy a pfc and buy for my tuning time.

also good to invest in a heavy duty clutch if you dont have one already :rofl:

But cooler is soo shiny :rofl:

And you have to tune up a new safc or pfc so may as well do it with the cooler in so u dont havet ot do it again down the track. Sure its prolly gonna suck it down but they should be done pretty close together anyway.

powerfc and a fmic

:werd:

Looking at $3K total (including dyno tuning) but so much better than anything else you can do to your car as a stage 1/2 before you step up to replacing turbo's, injectors, surge tanks, regulators, wastegates, etc etc....

How much would a safc cost????????

Am looking at getting this & a fmic once I have sold my car I have now. Should have my 'line within 3 weeks max.

Oh yeah, what are some of your opinions about front mounts???? Some people say that paying more for the recognized brands or Japanese brands (ape int., trust, HKS etc), dosen't really give you any advantage over some of the kinds you can pick up over here.

I just don't want to pay over the odds when I get one, what sort of prices will I be looking at for a fmic?? (buying, piping, fitted etc) Any advice would be tops, :) .

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
