Newbie looking advice

[Japfan]

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?

Sounds good with ERxhaust, FMIC and ECU...

So power wise would i be looking at say 300bhp or less? any ideas? I dont want this guy trying to tell me its a 500bhp car when its no where near it. So if anyone has even a rough idea what sort of power it would be it would help.

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!

um if that stock turbo and you run 14 - 15psi the turbo will be gone in no time i would think... if its high flowed then it should be right for that and then some...

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?
