Hey everyone, Ive just imported a stock r32 GTST with 46,000 kms on the clock, its in awsome condition. Just would like some advice as im new to this caper about some first up mods which i should consider? where do i start?

I figured first should be things like sports muffler from turbo back, and a pod filter? but all in all i wouldnt have much of a clue :Oops: So any advice would be very benificial to my cause many thanks

There's SOOO many threads on this so go for a search.

But IMHO forget you should about a pod, upgarde the panel filter if you really must.

A 3" cat-back at the minimum, 3" front-pipe if you want a bit more, and maybe a larger dump if you intend to take things further later on.

Then a FMIC. Then you can put a little more boost thru it.

That should get you started.

I'd invest in a 100,000km service because your car will not be a gueniune 46,000km car unless its been sitting in a musuem in Japan. Thats less than 4,000km a year!!!

I've had five imports and I reckon every single on of them was wound back.

Believe me a major service will be alot cheaper than letting your timing belt snap

Hey mate, im ensure u its only done 48,000 kms! ive had it toally checked out all seems to in right. But yea i was thinking of getting a totall service done anyways cause eben still a car whicj hasnt been driven much at all still ages and will need some work. Thanks for the concern mate.

Hey mate thanks for the msg, as soon as its complied, i was going to have the timeing buslts worker over, they are in good nich as they are ! my machanic said should look at doing them in the next 1 or 2 services. but better to be safe then sorry thanks mate

first you should sell me your nice clean interior:P

other than that as people have said exhaust, fmic, maybe bleed valve and boost guage

also get an alarm with at least 3 point immobiliser....

I've heard the fuel pump has a few reliability issues, so it's a cheap upgrade to protect leaning out and the engine going "bang".

I'm in the process of buying a R33 GTST.. I intend to do a whiteline works kit (www.whiteline.com.au) suspension as my first mod. That way, you can learn to drive the car with the stock power, and to control it properly under power, and then do exhaust / bleed valve, followed by FMIC...

Everyone has their own ways of modificatons though, it's really up to you :D

Congrats on the buy mate! A car like that with genuine kilometres that low would be a rare beast indeed! Like a few others have said, make sure you invest on a decent alarm system for your car, that would really have to be a priority.

    • 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
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • 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.
