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

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.

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.

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.

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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
