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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
