Alright so i finally got a skyline after years of idolizing them, sure is a nice upgrade from the mazda 3 lol. I was suprised how clean it was when i went to pick it up. Anyways, It's got a few things done to it but nothing major so lots of room for improvement. It's got:

-HKS ssqv bov
-3.5" turbo back exhaust
-A/M airfilter
-tein coil overs
-Rays JTC rims with bob jane xenon 225 f/235 r
-Blitz dual turbo timer
-Turbosmart mbc
-Mine's ecu
-Gtr grill

SOON TO HAVE**
- Tomei headgasket
-ARP head studs
-Bee* R rev limiter
-Top mount turbo manifold
-Screamer pipe

-Front mount IC
-Aluminum radiator.
-Front facing intake plenum

Unfortunatly its still got the stock side mount intercooler so first thing that needs to be done is get a nice big fmic, i might even just get an ebay one because their cheap. Here's some pics of the car..

So lately my cars been over heating and its gonna get looked at tommorow morning, since i can't really drive it i decided to paint the valve covers and take out the back seats. Haha not only does it reduce a bit of weight, now i don't have to drive annoying extra passengers around! I went to home depot to get some paint because I thought they would have the largest selection, (I thought wrong). I wanted to get a nice glossy blue but they only had Orange for high temp spray paint. I bought it anyways because It didn't look too bad.

Nice car! Reminded me of my very first skyline!

I heard ISIS makes good Intake Manifolds. As for FMIC, I heard good reviews about godspeed..

Grats on the car, looks clean. In regard to your FMIC ebay question, you should read this thread: ebay intercoolers --- to ebay or not to ebay

In particular read this article: http://forums.evolutionm.net/evo-eng...cts-truth.html which is mentioned in the thread above and sheds a little light into the 'cheap' FMICs out there.
