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..

      rb20 r31 dies after revving (idles fine and no sputter)

      You've given zero info about your setup. Step 1: make sure all the standard equipment are working as they should. If they're not, go investigate why. Step 2: Make sure all your wiring is done properly. Know which RB20 you have, most likely "silvertop" a.k.a R32/A31 anything after 1989. Step 3: make sure your ECU is tuned properly. Standard will barely run in this situation.

      Depending on your use case, prop valve will almost always be a better choice.

      Coilovers, what to choose?

      I think... in the US, Silvermax is the equivalent of BC Racing, i.e. cheap Taiwanese built suspension that gets turned for "local" conditions. Back in the day in Australia, you could get MCA street for about $1300 and they were awesome. Don't know about now... In saying that, my real world TEIN experience: I got some street basis z for my old Liberty (BR9), and they were awesome ($800-odd delivered from demon-tweeks in the UK). so Don't discount TEIN

      100% this. Long ago, I had a guy from the R31 club who set my BNR32 up (adjustable arms all round). He did an awesome job, was an after-work kinda thing where I had to bring a slab of beer. My car never drove better, and I stupidly got a random tyre shop to check the toe angles when I changed tyres, and they ruined the alignment. tl:dr- it takes a lot of skill to set up your car lowered from factory properly, and is worth paying the $200+ it takes.
