i dont know what mod to get now these are my options, what do you guys think.

1. Apexi PFC.

2. Airpods.

3. Some decent turbos, i was thinking along the lines of maby gt-rs.

4. Cam shafts.

well it all comes down to money. how much do you want to spend on your next upgrade?

have the cam gear(s?) been set-up on a dyno or are they just sitting at 0?

I would reccomend (providing it's in budget).

buy high flow filter for your airbox (or pods if you prefer that)

buy and fit boost controller and raise boost to 1bar

buy PFC

get PFC and cam gears tuned on the dyno

if you are going to run GT-RS you will need a lot of other gear to go with it and make it work well:

700cc injectors

high volume fuel pump

dump pipes

front pipes

intercooler would be a good idea (but not essential)

new air flow meters (either VG30s, or nismo)

new clutch (either heavy duty single, or multi-plate)

more tuning

cams

and to be honest I don't think GT-RS on a standard 2.6 RB26 will be a very good set-up as you will not be able to push them to their limit on a stock motor. far better to rebuild, and if you are rebuilding I would suggest a 2.8 kit would be wise to go with the GT-RSs.

a far better choice would be GT-SS or GT2530, but even still you will need most of that stuff above to get the most out of them.

what next mod do you think i should save up for in this list.

1. PFC.

2. Airpods.

3. turbos.

4. Cam shafts.

PowerFC hands down.

Airpods - pointless. The stock airbox with a decent panel filter works far better.

Turbos - Not much good without the ECU :closedeyes:

Cams - Same as above!

So ye, choice is easy from that list.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
