what is the max boost can i run with stock turbo? 9psi.. I wouldnt be pushing it more than that, unless you have some cooling devices such as front mount..

what are the best modifications for these car? bascially all bolt on stuff, and anything else you would like your car to acheive!!! Set your goal, and search for what you want.. But i would get front mount, full exhaust, pod, stuctbraces, do cams, suspesions and the list goes on, dependin on how much money you have..

how can i remove the speed limiter? theres a bit of muckin around to do.. BUT, there is an article in the tut section, so search there.. Been nicly covered with all diagrams n such..

by tube you mean PIPE right???

For comparisions of mechanical and electrical, that thread has been covered numours amounts of time.. Just do a search and that goes for rest of your questions..

I have a feeling you will be first owner in Mozambique with a skyline??? Are they lots of workshops there that can help you install most of these parts and such??

ohh btw, i wouldnt run my skyline on normal leaded fuel.. It wasnt desgined for it... The car might sluggish with normal leaded fuel.. Use 98 octane!!! No point puttin all these mods on, if you fillin it with normal fuel..

Hope that helped a little. .If not.. ahh well.. hahah

-what is the max boost can i run with stock turbo?

it depends on the condition of the turbo and how well you care for it. I have seen 14psi used consistently for a long time without failure. Always warm up well or drive off easy and don't go hard for at least 5 min. Come in steady to where your journey finishes and then allow a short idle down of around 30 sec.

-what are the best modifications for these car?

In this order, full 3" exhaust, front mount intercooler, adjustable rising rate fuel reg/fuel pump(bosch 030/033)/powerfc computer, new turbo/injectors then upgrade to a GTR33 :P

-how can i remove the speed limiter?

The powerfc will do this or an apexi RSM. there are other addons as well.

-i want to build a custom exhaust with twin tube. what size of tube i have to use?

try 2" for twin but there are so many 3" exhausts your should just buy second hand or get the car shipped with it.

what is the best turbo timer,mechanical boost controller,blow off valve,air filter for this car?

most timers are of a muchness, a basic bleed valve for mechanical or the aussie Jaycar electronic boost controller is about the best of all,BOV is a matter of preference but maybe GFB, Air filter I believe the apexi or blitz. There was a test done and one of these did really well.

what are the advantages of mechanical boost controller?

poorer than Jaycar but at least you can run a little extra boost.

is it possible to run on leaded fuel?

Not if you want your Oxygen Sensor to continue working.

can i use UNICHIP piggyback computer?

Yep

what is the top speed and acceleration times in standard form?

180 kmh limited or about 220 unlimited. 0-100kmh 6 seconds

what is the inlet size for air filter?

Around 70mm

As mentioned you should try to use a higher RON fuel such as 98 but with the PFC you can tune to run on any petrol fuel you desire.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
