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.

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
