Buddy. I'm sure you can find a million threads like this, and they all reach the same 2 points. Us who have been round a little while say to leave that car the fk alone. It's a money pit. You are far better off leavening it stock as, selling it and buying a turbo model when off your p plates.

The other bunch are head strong, but shit loads of parts, become financially stressed, but still have a NA pos at the end of the day.

So unless your going to tell me that your building an awesome NA Racecar, with high comp motor, ITB etc, just leave the thing alone, wait it out, and buy a turbo when you're off the plates.

haha ease up on the guy, he said he was new to the forum =p

Anyways man, as everyone else stated there really is no point. Unless you end up finding parts for dirt cheap, and by dirt cheap i mean exhaust systems for 70 bucks, i wouldnt bother spending money on it. N/a skylines are as fast as its gonna get without spending 2k on 5hp mods. Only option would be to rice it up, coliovers, slotted brakes, big ass 18s rays, sticky tyres. Which would be a huge waste of money. Being an ex N/a skyline owner i know the feeling of wanting to mod your car with the dream of being the fastest n/a(exaggeration), but it doesnt really turn out that way. keep it stock man and enjoy the car, save up and buy a turbo in the future. Look at it this way, 2k spent on a n/a, you get 10-15hp max, on the other hand a 770 dollar custom ecu tune (98 octane fuel) on my stock evo alone gets me 40AWKW gain.

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
