I have a TR V6 Manual

Get extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent cat back exhaust with a lukey LR2779 muffler (or something else if u want more noise)

K&N panel filter, because unless you want to do a lot of cutting and crappy work setting up Cold Air Induction (commonly referred to on here as CAI) you'll have a hard time getting any benefit from a Pod sitting in the engine bay (sucks in too much hot air).

Adjustable rising rate fuel pressure regulator, stage 1 or stage 2 cams.

Piggyback computer, greddy emanage or something like that.

You can go the whole hog and get a standalone (Like I will be) like a Haltech E6K or E11

Lowered springs, superlows or just lows. Up to you. I recommend Aurora (spelling might not be right) aussie made for aussie conditions, better quality than most other brands out there.

Shocks, ultimately you could go Koni gas adjustables (As I am later) but for now you could go Sensatrac (munroe) or something around that area.

There's not many kits around for the TR/TS. I'm getting one made up when I've finished all my mods.

And I've talked about the GTO motor before on the forum..have a search around...Im quite sure I've gone into some detail about it. If I find it before you do..I'll post it up here for you.

Welcome aboard! :)

shit theres a lot of info there!!
cheers for that gives me some thing to think about no doubt end up spending my hard earned cash on
what sort costs would be involved?
like how much you pay for your exhaust system and other mods?
or a ball park figure! interesting about the skyline R33 kits might look a bit odd tho!

oh don't worry about prices just found the online shop section
that gave me the prices.
um the RPW V6 "street Design" extractors will they fit my TS cause
it said 3L but not my model
just wish i had a grand or two to throw at the engine
Then instead of just keeping up with a commodore ill be able to smoke it
and what size tyres you got on your car?
you find traction a prob, I got 15 or 16" 205 width struggle to get power to
ground
If i change springs ill need to change tyreprofile and wheel size. right?

RPW extractors for our motor might not be listed there yet Curry. As they were only recently developed.

I was the test car for them..I have the 1st set, the prototype set ;)
They're about 650 odd bucks.

My cat back exhaust was 490 fitted. Thats with the muffler and chrome tip
My K&N filter was about 120ish and the cleaning kit is about 30 bucks.

Rising rate fuel pressure regulator is about 300 bucks? (PLease correct if Im wrong here)

Have a chat to blake..he should be able to work out a good price for you.

If you change springs you dont have to change wheels..but you can if you want.

I have the stock alloys 15x6 I think they are..and yeah I have a traction problem :(

But I'll be putting on 17x8 or 17x7.5 later.


You shouldn't have a problem smoking a commode in the stock form it is in now. How many km's has it done and has it been regularly serviced?

My car originally was a mitsubishi company car then the previous owner was a mechanic in the experimental division at mitsu and did a lot of the servicing himself. It is in pretty good condition done 160 000 kms all services done and had original clutch to 150 000km. I had a problem with the stepper motor causing it to stall sometimes but got that fixed last service. I also managed to break the linkage bracket off the top of gearbox. mechanic and raa guy said neva seen that before, they think it was a dodgey part
