The biggest issue is usually the ignition coil packs, if/when you test drive the car, put your foot on the brake and put your foot on the gas, this tests the coils under load and if they're are faulty, you will be able to hear it.

Also be sure you check for rust, near the front strut bruce and in the boot wells. If you can go for a 2000-2001 or a series 2 model as the price difference isnt that much greater

All the best, happy hunting!

what exactly should i be listening for?

well if the car doesnt feel smooth reving and if u hear sorta like bop bop bop... it will be hesitant, ie u put ur foot down and though the revs it coughs a splutters... thats sign of faulty coils or spark plugs...

2 years of driving my R34, done around 40,000km. One track day and not had a problem with the coil packs yet. Although splitfires will be on the list when I do my next round of mods just because of how common it seems to be for the stockers to give up.

      Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.

      In the US almost everything is E10. It can't exceed 10% by much or fuel systems have trouble adapting. At the same time because MTBE, MMT, and TEL are all banned they need as much ethanol in it as possible to boost octane.
