Make sure you get a dyno run, and check your fuel pump is flowing enough juice in it's current form, and the car is making the power it should. I'd personally upgrade the fuel pump as one of your first mods. For a couple of hundred dollars, it could help prevent the car lean out, and will provide enough juice to support the mods you want to install.

I'd then do (in the following order):

- Turbo back exhaust (3inch - will be above the legal limit, but it's impossible to get a sports exhaust below the legal limit.. even stock WRXs are 89DB, the noise limit is 90DB). Go to your local exhaust shop for this. $1000 - $1500 depending on what you get

- Replacement air filter in standard airbox. You can order this online, or get your local Repco etc to order one in for your skyline. $100

- Front Mount inc piping. You can order this online. Price depends on what brand you want. Estimate about $1000 or so.

- Boost controller (turn it up to 12psi, on a dyno, to make sure it's running ok). Buy from most performance workshops, or order online. $100 for a T Piece mechanical controller.

- ECU (PowerFC). You can order this online from Japan to save some money, or just buy one second hand. You could just get a SAFC or something similar if you are on a budget. $1k for the PFC + ~$500 for tuning

Also invest in some good tyres to get traction.

This is too open ended of a question, you really need to specify a budget if you want exact answers and recommendations.

i wanna beat my mates silvia with sr20 inside. It has the exhaust and intercooler as mentioned above, and hks pod filter, its pretty darn fast. Dont mind spending, as long as i see him in the rear view, and 110% LEGAL.

LOL

this will end in tears!

if you want it legal.. dont change a thing. Even an engineers report will not stop you copping issues from the police.

You can try the obvious things first..

A. 10psi

B. Front Mount Intercooler

C. Full Exhaust

D. Aftermarket ECU

E. DRIVER TRAINING!

I dont know where you plan on racing your mate, if its at the track then you should get some training as its worth alot more than mods when it comes to a cars speed.

also learn how to launch properly, i mean its a bit hard to but u may snap a driveshaft who knows, launch like the japs put all pressure on the clutch and then let go, dont rev up and just pop the clutch, puts too much strain on the shaft, bring the clutch up to friction point before pop'n it :thumbsup:

u can chop his sr20 with just a few mods but uve got like 200kg more weight or so... but doubt with the mods he has he wont be able to pull more than 160rwkw but if u do it right for sure around 200rwkw just depends on tuning etc

On my old car I had a custom 3inch front/dump/cat with a 3inch Nismo cat-back and a 4inch nismo tip. I had my exhaust tested probably 10x in the 2.5yrs I had the car and never had an issue.

* K&N Panel Filter

* Turbo-back 3" Exhaust

* Bleed valve @ 10psi

* FMIC

* PowerFC

Cya in $5k's time.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
