Hi all *waves*
I'm one of these people who's got their dream car.
It's a S1 R33 gts-t 5spd, in the almost black, grey color. I paid $9000 for it a couple of months ago, she's totally stock except for the turbo which was replaced by the previous owner (middle aged suit) when "it started making a strange noise - but building boost fine". It's now forced by a KKR430 running at 8psi. Like I said everything else is stock, right down the wheels, I wanted the tame look, I don't get much cop attention . Things change however and I no longer have concerns about being pulled over for drug searches/rbt's so the quest for more power begins!!
So far from my understanding having this slightly better turbo is only getting hindered by my stock intercooler and exhaust, an ideal upgrade for my low income and semi-mechanical mind would be the stock SMIC off a R34 - I also want todo something about the air on it's way out, so I want to try do exhaust and intercooler at the same time, but I've run into some questions and I know someone here will have a good answer for me, I'm looking at getting a cat back exhaust - however I'm unsure if there's any point to it while I have the stock turbo->cat exhaust in place;
In short is an upgrade from 100% stock exhaust to a 3inch cat back worth $200? Is it just going to be a new note, or will it help the breathing?
even if it's not noticeable I expect that I'll be able to upgrade the exhaust from the turbo-cat at a later date when more money comes my way, correct me if this isn't the case.
Any other tips or advice for a new skyline owner would be greatly appreciated, I'm always happy to learn new things, and meet new people.
Thank you to anyone who can focus on my wall of txt long enough to get to this point
I look forward to hearing from anyone about anything todo with skylines.
