New to the forum, just bought myself a manual 1996 Nissan Skyline (Series 2) about 4 months ago. Need some advise to where I should start on modding my car? At the moment my car has the following:

* Cat-Back Exhaust (Will soon fit an APEXI front pipe and Hi-flow cat)

* APEXI Pod Filter (Unshielded)

* HKS Turbo Timer

* Raizin Volt Stabilizer Kit

* Boost Gauge

* 17" RIMS

* Bilstein Suspension

* A/M Clutch - don't know what brand though, it came with the car when I bought it.

This is what I'm planning to put in my car.

1. APEXI POWER FC with Hand Controller

2. APEXI AVC-R Boost Controller ( I actually bought a manual boost controller from EBAY, its just sitting my bedroom at the moment)

3. TOMEI Fuel Pump

4. ARC FMIC - Thinking of buying a hybrid. What do you guys think?

5. HKS GTR-S or should I just Hi-flow my turbo?

6. TOMEI Injectors 555c

7. AFM Z32

8. TOMEI Adjustable Cam Gear

My power goal is around 240rwkw or more. Your input will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.

This is what I'm planning to put in my car.

1. APEXI POWER FC with Hand Controller

Good Choice

2. APEXI AVC-R Boost Controller ( I actually bought a manual boost controller from EBAY, its just sitting my bedroom at the moment)

EBC is obviously better

3. TOMEI Fuel Pump

good idea

4. ARC FMIC - Thinking of buying a hybrid. What do you guys think?

ARC is great - Hybrid or the copies are just as good for the power you're after and much more after that and shit loads cheaper..

5. HKS GTR-S or should I just Hi-flow my turbo?

Check rb25 dyno thread at the top of this section for what turbo's people have used with what power output at what psi etc.. loads of good info for someone in your position

6. TOMEI Injectors 555c

good choice

7. AFM Z32

again as above

8. TOMEI Adjustable Cam Gear

good idea

My power goal is around 240rwkw or more. Your input will be much appreciated.

your list of goodies fitted and tuned by a decent tuner will give you the power you are after.

then it's time for good tyres and suspension setup (try Michelen and whiteline for those 2 I say

Thanks.

My answers are in ITALIC in the quote above.. under your points..

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
