What is the best Mod a Skyline can have?

[Racer 20]

I seen a lot on it on the Sony Playstation video game Gran Turismo 2. I saw it in a forum. But I haven't really serached yet. I did see it in a mag though. I think is was a Car and Drive or Road and track. I don't remember.

I'd seen it at gtr.co.uk. My God, it's really cool. 550 horses/midengined/4wd/1000kg body! It should smoke anything which moves on the tarmac, including the F50, Diablo et al.

Hey wassup!! I'm not sure about in the US, but in australia there are tons of phat Skylines (mostly R32 and R33). The easiest mod to do is get the fuel/boost/speed cuts disabled, which lifts the speed limit to about 250km/h. The second modification u should look at is better efficiency modifications, such as a bigger intercooler (they aren't really suited for high boost) and exhaust system... these mods alone will give pretty noticeable results and are relatively easy to perform... if you want a LOT more power, well you could always try a set up with two bigger turbos... maybe jsut a single massive GReddy T88 turbo... good for at least 600hp!!!

What kind of lag does that T88 have? How many bars/psi is a T88 good for?

If you live in Australia the first thing you should buy is a BIG intercooler its almost summer 35deg+ and turbos dont mix
Then up the boost a bit :flash:

Just wondering how much is a R33 vspec in Malaysia?? how much did u buy it for? and is it hard to find someone to service / modify it??

What about yours? have u done any modz to it yet?

Thanks (P.s. I'm from malaysia too, thinking of bringing my gtr back but maybe too much trouble )

This is such a simple question.

The best mod a skyline can have is a trip to Top Secret with a US$30,000 cheque in hand

Hi xboy, a R33 GTR in M'sia in good condition with a low mileage can start from RM220k down to about RM170k. Mine was showroom condition 15000km to boot 1995 V-Spec with all sorts of modded stuffs - only 2 and a half years on the road when I bought it - (I paid RM217K). Exchange = RM3.80 = USD 1.
The car has gone through about 3 stages of upgrades so far and now it finally has 614ps - tuned in Singapore by Nagata San of Top Secret (the tunnel guy!). I have posted about the mods before but hey...for you....GT2540 turbos, HKS 264in/272ex cams, HKS 87mm forged pistons, etc etc.
It's quite easy for Malaysian abroad to bring back cars - 2 are permitted without having to apply for the rarer than gold "approved permit" if you have been abroad for more than 2 years. No duty is also payable on that car unless you sell it later (than, duty will be imposed on the prevailing market value). Mail me if you need more infos.

Merli, yeah, I sigened an almost blank cheque to Nagata San and he gave me 614 ps!:sun: But it's far less than USD120k though.

xboy...sorry forgot to mention that it's quite easy to service the gtr over here. Parts are also easy to get and they are not that expensive.
