What Mods?

[StOjA]

sorryy guys i previously posted this in the wrong place. i need to lern how to use this thing properly.

anyway i need a few opinions.

Ive got a stock standard R32GTS-T in great nick. i was thinking about a few mods. just wondering what mods should be the first few mods . i dont need a 10sec racer just something that will help me turn the wheels alittle easier.

Say you had $5000 to spend on a stocker what would be the first few things to do?

[tezflow]

Considering you have around the 5k mark to spend on the mods go for a full turbo back 3" exhaust, get a cold air induction setup , put a front mount intercooler, then add on a boost controller then buy an apexi power fc and get it dyno tunned and the should be going way harder.

[Savage Bliss]

Nice one. I too started with a stocka.

Yeah, exhaust side of things first off, i.e manifold, front pipe, 3in exhaust and cat. Then cooler, clutch, and a couple of other inlet mods, such as pod and the likes.

They seem to enjoy being able to breath better...

[StOjA]

you think i will be able to get all that with $5k..... explain to me what a power fc is? ive got a t3/t4 high flow job from a VL commo .. would this bolt on?

also if i were to pit a bigger turbo on my car would i have to change my ecu or can i just remap the original

[Savage Bliss]

Yeah. Plenty of cash... just gotta look around. A power FC is a aftermarket computer, which is a plug and play unit. Recommend getting it tuned by workshop. And T3 is right size for your car. Cheers

T3/4 turbos are old school tho....

Spend you 5k on the following in this exact order...

1. Exhaust

2. FMIC

3. Cold air induction

4. Electronic Boost controler

5. Z32 AFM

6. PFC & tune

Then when you get board and have another 5-7g's

1. Clutch

2. Injectors

3. Bosch 040 in tank pump

4. Fuel pressure reg

5. Plenium & throttle body (change fmic piping to suit)

6. Exhaust manifold

7. Turbo (GT30 or HKS 2535 round this area)

Then when you blow the engine and you got another 5-7k

1. Forgies

2. Crank

3. Rods

4. Head reco and tougher valve springs

5. Cams (tomie pon cams or the like)

Then when this gets boring and you got another 5-7k

Seek more advice from someone else who has gone further than me....

Or as i did fit an rb26 engine and do it all again....

put in a boost controller and run 25 psi. then upgrade the intercooler. then upgrade the exhaust.

As the other "serious" posters have said.

1. 3 inch full exhaust (dump/front/hi-flow cat/catback) $1000-$2500

2. High flow panel filter or pod filter with cold air induction $100-$300

3. Boost $70-$700 (bleed valve/electronic)

4. FMIC $1000-$2000

5. PFC $1500-$2000 tuned

$5k should be enough You have a good budget there.

Best bang from your 5K is a turbo back exhaust, good quality front mount with good piping, fuel pump and a good EBC.

What money youhave left i would be spendign on some neat 17" rims with good rubber, some swaybars, bushes and springs. When you get some more cash id consider shocks and then maybe an ECU.

[FAST-GT-R]

5k you can get :

1. heavy duty clutch kit fitted, 800$

2. full exhaust off ebay, 3" with . 700$

3. fmic kit off ebay for 450$

4. power fc fitted and tuned 1.5k

5.apexi airpod with adaptor from a sau sponser.. 120$?ish

6. boost gauge 50$

upgrade springs /shocks with rest

[MANWHOR3]

nos is cheap

[StOjA]

thanks guys!!

[RB30-POWER]

For $5k i would get RB25DET, Exhaust, PowerFC (if you can do the work yourself)

More cubes = more fun then the dunger RB20. (No offense to RB20 owners)

RB25DET say 2.5k for a good one, exhaust say 1k, powerfc say 1k = $500 left for little bits and pieces.

Need to be wise with your money, wasting it on RB20 is crazy, start with a better base, and besides you only want it to turn the treads better, well the RB25 will sure do that!

Standard gearbox and clucth will be fine with this mild combo.

Honestly...i'd think of upgrading the fuel pump first...the stock pumps are getting old and you definitely don't want the car to run lean...
