Buddy. I'm sure you can find a million threads like this, and they all reach the same 2 points. Us who have been round a little while say to leave that car the fk alone. It's a money pit. You are far better off leavening it stock as, selling it and buying a turbo model when off your p plates.

The other bunch are head strong, but shit loads of parts, become financially stressed, but still have a NA pos at the end of the day.

So unless your going to tell me that your building an awesome NA Racecar, with high comp motor, ITB etc, just leave the thing alone, wait it out, and buy a turbo when you're off the plates.

haha ease up on the guy, he said he was new to the forum =p

Anyways man, as everyone else stated there really is no point. Unless you end up finding parts for dirt cheap, and by dirt cheap i mean exhaust systems for 70 bucks, i wouldnt bother spending money on it. N/a skylines are as fast as its gonna get without spending 2k on 5hp mods. Only option would be to rice it up, coliovers, slotted brakes, big ass 18s rays, sticky tyres. Which would be a huge waste of money. Being an ex N/a skyline owner i know the feeling of wanting to mod your car with the dream of being the fastest n/a(exaggeration), but it doesnt really turn out that way. keep it stock man and enjoy the car, save up and buy a turbo in the future. Look at it this way, 2k spent on a n/a, you get 10-15hp max, on the other hand a 770 dollar custom ecu tune (98 octane fuel) on my stock evo alone gets me 40AWKW gain.

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
