Hello everyone.

I was reading a bit on this forum and trying some searching.

I'm thinking of buying a 2009 Skyline GTR or a Series II if it'll be available soon.

My question is:

What's the most power that can be had from doing a forced induction upgrade on full time race gas, keeping all factory accessories like A/C? Tranny upgrade is ok if needed. The car won't be driven too often, just weekends.

Is 800 RWHP possible. (600KW)

Thanks.

Yes

Thanks.

I don't do big jobs like this myself on my cars, what company would you recommend I use to do the work? If there's one in the USA great, if not who would you recommend in Austraila to give the car to?

I live in Miami, Florida.

So how much HP can these engines handle if I wanted to go more than 600KW?

You will probably spoil your warranty if you mod it!

I have a stable of cars with no warranties. Its ok.

I've really like the Skylines for many years, like 20 years to be honest. I pretty much mod everything I own, even my E55 Merc is modded. Here in Miami, its kind of a hobby to alot of us to have high hp street cars. The Skyline is a great piece of engineering and people here are starting to pop up with modded ones, so I think I'm ready to go for one, but it needs to be able to hang with the cars around here. And the cars in this area are no joke.

^^ US is leading the way anyway... the best tuning solutions seem to come from there ATM... the only exception is the haltech piggy back system but i still prefer the idea of flash based us based sytems.... similar to vcm suite etc... im sure once the factory ecu is FULLY unlocked it will be force to be reckoned with.

So can you point me in the right direction of a top shop here in the USA I can contact?

I'm prepared to go all out with a new GTR.

      I guess you can guess the reaction when I said maybe I should cut my losses with her.  I didn't but sometimes you know, I might think that... On a more positive note. At least R33's are worth something now, so it's not a total loss.

      Agree about euros.  Pulling apart is so much quicker than putting back together. Made worse when it's been a while and you can't remember everything. Any modified part seems to always be a pain to reinstall too and complicates things. There's not too many mods on my car but those that are caused difficulties. Simple things like the radiator that should just drop in, needed some finesse and additional time to manoeuvre in, same with oil cooler plumbing, head drain etc. Simple things seemed to want to fight me the whole way. Stupid standard intake plenum didn't help either. After nearly finishing everything, I saw the 2 knock sensor plugs and cold start valve plug hanging there. Was able to contort my hand enough and looking at an internet pic of valve, was able to just get the plug on and seated. Front knock sensor was similar, the rear however I can't even see. Going to have to remove starter motor to create access. FML. I've consumed that many cans of V in the last few work sessions that I should get a sponsorship. edit, I did the same with the mic and bore gauges. Spent many hours, it's one of those things that you get better at and more confident the more you use them. There was also so many hours spent searching, just to try and source valves and valve guides. I think I spent more time on trying to source valve guides than actually measuring and assembling the motor.

      For me a few things compounded the issue.  - Wanting to learn a few aspects, such as hand lapping valve seats (10hrs-20hrs) - Wanting to balance the rotating assembly down to 1g on cast parts, (15hrs easy) - Not knowing this wack FWD platform, 10hrs to remove to remove the subframe/engine etc - Having never used mic or bore guages etc, thinking I was doing it wrong, finding out 2 rods were oval and I was correct (10hrs easy).  And the list goes on, each shed session was 60-90mins so it takes a lot of them On the contrary, when I sold the CA/Box/ECU it was 3hrs to remove, split, put on a pallet solo having never done it before.  This is the reason that the XR5 will get sold and I will go back to a JDM daily. Euro stuff is painful to work on.
