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.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
