hey guys....

well i have been signed up here for a while now but i am always too busy to find a computer. i am 15 years old and pretty soon i will be able to go for my learners. i have worked for a damn long time in various jobs around my town gilgandra (think dubbo) and my parents have agreed to split the cost with me... so far i have around 5-6 thousand dollars saved up and i have had my mind set on a skyline for a long time because i love the way they look and sound, not to mention that there are no other 'lines that i know of around where i live.

anyway, back to the point... i am a complete N00b at this sort of stuff (i know a bit about car engines and such) and i would like to know if theres a sort of introductory 'guide' to modding a car and what to buy and where to find the best prices, what sort of skyline/engine you all recommend and the like. it would be a great help. thanks

p.s sorry about the long post.

    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
    • Yeahhhh, the costs have killed me. Spent more than the cost of an engine rebuild and it most mostly servicing and a tune lol.
    • I'm not 100% how the BMW racers do it, but I know from other brands like Merc, moving, and changing the coolers is one of the things. Like getting a transcooler out from infront of the radiator to out near a wheel arch. So some of the stuff you've got crammed in the middle front, spread it out and open up where you can in the bar to get more air in to the sides.
    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
