1 - exhaust

2 - steel intake pipe (no point in having power when the stock one sucks closed)

3 - coil packs (standard ones tend to fail = crappy power delivery)

4 - front mount

5 - vipec ecu (which has a built-in boost controller so its a 2 in 1 mod) with a tune

the reason why i didnt put a pod is because the standard airbox does a good enough job for that power level.

5 is a shit number though.

1) bigger turbo - depending on the power you want, a bigger turbo simply = more power. GT3076r (max 550hp) is the best for a stock engine!

2) better exhaust - on a skyline, the factory exhaust is restrictive, nets you easy power.

3) boost controller - more boost + more power, but you need one of these VVVV at the same time, to make the most of it (see no.4)

4) tuning - nistune or power FC do well on skylines, an important mod if you've got more things to do later on.

5) intercooler - lowers intake temps, colder = denser = more oxygen = more power.

(those 5 things all have to be done together though, you can't do either of those without the other. You can, but this is the best way to do it.

i speak the truth.

you sure do. steel intake pipe is a must for ~240rwkw and over, but with 5 mods only (which is admittedly a silly arbitrary limit) i doubt he would get to that power level safely.

5 mods i would do:

-full exhaust

-FMIC

-ECU tune (with inbuilt boost control)

-coilovers

-wheels and tyres

1. 22 inch Chromies

2. Vinyl graphics, preferably with nismo logos, trust stickers and GTR badging

3. 4inch exhaust with big ass Canon and no mid mufflers,no Cat and loud as F%$k screamer pipe

5. Altessa tailights

If I could include a 6th, it would be a Vent to Atmo Bov, spring tightened to allow for hektic flutterz on low boost

how about including the 4th :P

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
