Hi guys! Newbie here from Ireland looking some advice.

I am going to look at a 1997 GTS25T Skyline tomorrow night, and the guy on the phone said it has a Kakimoto exhaust, Apexi Induction kit, Top secret engine management system, aftermarket FMIC and a few other things as well.

Basically what i was wondering was are these modifications any good, if so roughly what sort of power would the car be putting out with them and i had a look at the guide allready, but was wondering if there was anything in particular on the car that i should look out for before buying?

you'd have to find out what boost he is running if its still a stock RB25 turbs i think the max boost would be the 14-15psi range. and from there you would be able to establish power, top seceret engine management system hey? sounds a little suss to me maybe it might be a chipped standard ECU by top secret.

nice one, if it is running standard boost on standard turbos what sort of power would i be looking at? And it could be just a chipped ecu, you see this car is only just out of japan and the guy thats selling it sells a few jap imports but as per usual there isnt that much information about whats been done to the car. Thats why i need you guys help! :D

GTS25t's come stock with about 185kw. With those mods you could be looking at perhaps 220kw?
That equates to almost 300bhp! Not bad, If i get the car one of the first things i will do is get her RR to find out whats shes running. I will check the boost gauge to see whats shes running at tonight and also to see if she has uprated turbo, is there anything else i should look out for?

I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub

      Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in

      Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.

      Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
