[r32line]

You might want to add what type of mod's you are talking about, performance / visual, your budget, what you hope to achieve and what your car has as is....

[Demoniak]

If its a non turbo..

Not much

Make it breathe better and handle better

Struts and sways..

Exhaust

Bigger air cartridge replacement ( not pod)

It shows we are noobie posters...

It auto modifys or you can get custom ones (depending on if your know the Mods or donations etc)

I hear money makes them happy.. and beer or burbon

to change the thing in your avatar:

go to "my controls", "edit profile information" then type what you want in "Custom member title".

as for mods, the most important mod to do before anything else is exhaust. there is no point putting more air in if it can't get out. try to go full turbo back, or at least cat back. then go air filter. then you can put a touch more boost in, but don't go above about 9psi on the stock cooler in summer.

Full Turbo back exhaust, FMIC, Coilovers, front and rear struts, sway bar and either pump the boost or if u have money invest in a new turbo.

Alright that all sounds good and stuff but im looking to get around 300 hp how much should i be prepared to invest and what do i put in.. What would the times be like with that much power?

[--{TRYDIS}--]

mmm 300hp = mods ive listed with upgrading turbo option and an aftermarket ecu, that should give u a nice power figure as well as handling. ur prob lookin between 4000-7000 dependin on what brand mods u buy.

hah jeeez getts expensive pretty fast. i s that cause of the labour charge for a shop to put it in or what?????

[--{TRYDIS}--]

how much were u lookin to spend?

[CalgaryGTS4]

how much were u lookin to spend?

I dont really know but i was just wondering how much of that would be for the install fee???? because my uncle is a mecanic and he said hell do it with me for free

[ebola]

fast = expensive.

"cheap performance" is a bit of a myth. and 300hp = 220 kW (get metric, buddy), read the 200kw rb20 thread. over 100kW/L...

(yeah, the imports are 'cheap performance'. 160 kW from 2L for under 15k, AND 4wd... is pretty good value for money).

spend some time searching the forums for more budget upgrades first.

if you really want the power, you will have to run big boost, huge rpm, or more cubes (I vote 1 AND 3).

Have some fun with the car. Play with the 4wd (r32 is ok) so that you appreciate the handling difference. Then look for upgrades. "First Mods" - like I said. search the forum. exhaust, intake, handling kit, then start looking at more dollars and more individual choices.

lol ok well it all depends on what particular mods and what brands ur gonna buy. it could cost u around 4000-6000 just for parts plus dont forget i only listed a few mods u still need the supporting mods like fuel pump, fuel reg, injectors, etc its best if u find out exactly what u want and then research different models, makes and prices and then purchase them according to your needs and funds.

[CalgaryGTS4]

K well say i wanted a turbo upgrade.... what type should i be loooking at and how big and are their any kits with all the supoorting mods in them???

[CalgaryGTS4]

K what should i do with the first three grand i put in.. what would u do if it was your car and your money

[--{TRYDIS}--]

check that website out its got a budget guide on how to acheive the power level u wanted without hassle. pretty easy i say especially if ur uncle is a mechanic and ur gonna get free labour following this guide shouldnt cost u much as it uses second hand parts from later model skylines which are ideal upgrades for the r32's.

[kralster]

First mod should be a pop off valve.

[--{TRYDIS}--]

FMIC, Turbo Back Exhaust, EBC, Strut Braces Front and rear, sway bar, & podfilter. next 1500 i'd invest in coilover suspension.
