Choice Mods

Hey every one,
I, like every other poor fool out there who doen'st have a skyline, am planning on buying one sometime in the next five years. Unless I find a killer deal on a R34 it will probly be a R33 V-spec. Although I'm located in the US I am also planning on moving to NZ to go to school and buy a car :D Now I only know enough to get me by in conversation about mods so I'm looking for some info. If I wanted to get a new exhaust system, (Pipe, manifold, the whole works), Boost controler, and rubber. What should I get? I'm not to familier with what can be done to a skyline as I only started researching them a few months ago. Also, what little bits of tuning could I do when I first got the car? I keep hearing about all these skylines with 350-400 hp with only tuning... Is this a load of crap or can it be done?
I'm not looking to sink any money into a new turbo kit right now but perhaps in the far future, or if I get a better job :rolleyes:
Any how, any input would be great, thanks.

First, get a 3" exhaust minus the cat. Buy some good mags, with some decent tires. A pod filter (id reccomend HKS). and crank the boost up to about 12-13psi... trust me that will be enough untill you get the hang of the car... :)
Also you myte wana ask again when you actually GET the car as times change often. (well they could if 5 years thats for sure)

I see you are from Bowling Green Kentucky , I drove through there a few years ago , I stopped to look at the corvette museum , very interesting . anyway , I suggest you try to find a light tuned car that already has boost controller , exhaust and filters , they are no more expensive than a standard one , you can get a pretty decent R33 GTR for $45000 - $50000 NZ , with 14 psi boost they will be 380-400 hp . you will also need a clutch with this sort of power , the standard one isnt much good.

What brought you to our wonderfull little city of BG?
Thanks for the info guys, you've said pretty much what I had been thinking but I just wanted to make sure.
