Make sure you get a dyno run, and check your fuel pump is flowing enough juice in it's current form, and the car is making the power it should. I'd personally upgrade the fuel pump as one of your first mods. For a couple of hundred dollars, it could help prevent the car lean out, and will provide enough juice to support the mods you want to install.

I'd then do (in the following order):

- Turbo back exhaust (3inch - will be above the legal limit, but it's impossible to get a sports exhaust below the legal limit.. even stock WRXs are 89DB, the noise limit is 90DB). Go to your local exhaust shop for this. $1000 - $1500 depending on what you get

- Replacement air filter in standard airbox. You can order this online, or get your local Repco etc to order one in for your skyline. $100

- Front Mount inc piping. You can order this online. Price depends on what brand you want. Estimate about $1000 or so.

- Boost controller (turn it up to 12psi, on a dyno, to make sure it's running ok). Buy from most performance workshops, or order online. $100 for a T Piece mechanical controller.

- ECU (PowerFC). You can order this online from Japan to save some money, or just buy one second hand. You could just get a SAFC or something similar if you are on a budget. $1k for the PFC + ~$500 for tuning

Also invest in some good tyres to get traction.

This is too open ended of a question, you really need to specify a budget if you want exact answers and recommendations.

i wanna beat my mates silvia with sr20 inside. It has the exhaust and intercooler as mentioned above, and hks pod filter, its pretty darn fast. Dont mind spending, as long as i see him in the rear view, and 110% LEGAL.

LOL

this will end in tears!

if you want it legal.. dont change a thing. Even an engineers report will not stop you copping issues from the police.

You can try the obvious things first..

A. 10psi

B. Front Mount Intercooler

C. Full Exhaust

D. Aftermarket ECU

E. DRIVER TRAINING!

I dont know where you plan on racing your mate, if its at the track then you should get some training as its worth alot more than mods when it comes to a cars speed.

also learn how to launch properly, i mean its a bit hard to but u may snap a driveshaft who knows, launch like the japs put all pressure on the clutch and then let go, dont rev up and just pop the clutch, puts too much strain on the shaft, bring the clutch up to friction point before pop'n it :thumbsup:

u can chop his sr20 with just a few mods but uve got like 200kg more weight or so... but doubt with the mods he has he wont be able to pull more than 160rwkw but if u do it right for sure around 200rwkw just depends on tuning etc

On my old car I had a custom 3inch front/dump/cat with a 3inch Nismo cat-back and a 4inch nismo tip. I had my exhaust tested probably 10x in the 2.5yrs I had the car and never had an issue.

* K&N Panel Filter

* Turbo-back 3" Exhaust

* Bleed valve @ 10psi

* FMIC

* PowerFC

Cya in $5k's time.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
