Your doing well for a young guy living on the Nth American continent:)

All the yanks seem to have trouble getting a Skyline over that side of the world, but may Canuks are smarter.

You could check out my links for a good way to waste a lot of perfectly good cash on something you will never get your money back on. BUT DAMN, you will probably enjoy yourself:)

P.S. comin to OZ for the Comm. Games? Plenty of Skylines here.

First of all get a pod filter (or easy flow stock filter) and a largish exhaust this will help it breath much better, rev easier and produce a bit more power. next I'd go the suspension, stiffer shocks neoprene bushes and pineapples to stop the rear end floating, from there you can spend lots a money on all sorts of things ECU, intercooler, turbo, cams, injectors the list go on and on

Hello, my name is josh. i live in alberta canada. i i just got a 1990 Skyline GTS-T Type M and just what to now of some good mods to do. and also some web pages will help also thanks

-Josh

Use the search function for heaps of info

Full 3" exhaust should be the first thing you do from the turbo back including a high flow cat.

Cold air intake - panel filter in airbox or pod with heat sheild

Up the boost 10 to12psi - either use a electronic boost controller or a bleed valve.

after these mods id go a intercooler kit or a new ECU.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
