New to the forum, just bought myself a manual 1996 Nissan Skyline (Series 2) about 4 months ago. Need some advise to where I should start on modding my car? At the moment my car has the following:

* Cat-Back Exhaust (Will soon fit an APEXI front pipe and Hi-flow cat)

* APEXI Pod Filter (Unshielded)

* HKS Turbo Timer

* Raizin Volt Stabilizer Kit

* Boost Gauge

* 17" RIMS

* Bilstein Suspension

* A/M Clutch - don't know what brand though, it came with the car when I bought it.

This is what I'm planning to put in my car.

1. APEXI POWER FC with Hand Controller

2. APEXI AVC-R Boost Controller ( I actually bought a manual boost controller from EBAY, its just sitting my bedroom at the moment)

3. TOMEI Fuel Pump

4. ARC FMIC - Thinking of buying a hybrid. What do you guys think?

5. HKS GTR-S or should I just Hi-flow my turbo?

6. TOMEI Injectors 555c

7. AFM Z32

8. TOMEI Adjustable Cam Gear

My power goal is around 240rwkw or more. Your input will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forums.

This is what I'm planning to put in my car.

1. APEXI POWER FC with Hand Controller

Good Choice

2. APEXI AVC-R Boost Controller ( I actually bought a manual boost controller from EBAY, its just sitting my bedroom at the moment)

EBC is obviously better

3. TOMEI Fuel Pump

good idea

4. ARC FMIC - Thinking of buying a hybrid. What do you guys think?

ARC is great - Hybrid or the copies are just as good for the power you're after and much more after that and shit loads cheaper..

5. HKS GTR-S or should I just Hi-flow my turbo?

Check rb25 dyno thread at the top of this section for what turbo's people have used with what power output at what psi etc.. loads of good info for someone in your position

6. TOMEI Injectors 555c

good choice

7. AFM Z32

again as above

8. TOMEI Adjustable Cam Gear

good idea

My power goal is around 240rwkw or more. Your input will be much appreciated.

your list of goodies fitted and tuned by a decent tuner will give you the power you are after.

then it's time for good tyres and suspension setup (try Michelen and whiteline for those 2 I say

Thanks.

My answers are in ITALIC in the quote above.. under your points..

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      R34 manual conversion wiring

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
