    Best Upgrades.

    What are some key components that should be upgraded in the R32 RB20DET. my car is parked for the summer due to my lack of following speed limits. without swapping the motor what are the best things to do. Engine is stock.

    Judged by your post, I recommend this upgrade... http://www.ama.ab.ca/driver-education.

    It really is the upgarde that keeps on giving. And in all seriousness, if you can't follow the speed limit I really don't think you sould make your car faster...

    I don't drive a 20, but I'd say some intake upgrades

    If you're wanting to get technical with bolt-ons. I'm getting nistune + fuel mapping re-done to support a fmic, mushroom intake, bigger turbo, 3" exhaust, and atmospheric bov.

    haha, so you got jokes! and its not about faster. even a dinky stock 80s civic can do the same speeds as a skyline. Maybe i should be more specific. Upgrades to make the car stronger and run better. future reference keep dumb **** like that to yourself. thanks. krystalized_jdm actually gave me a useful response. props to that.

    fresh fluids- tranny, diff, engine, plugs, exhaust 3inch ,not a big fan of mushroom filters the apexi is a good choice but thats my opinion,boost controller
    then if you go to a standalone or nistune then you can go for bigger injectors,turbo
    understeer -is when you go off the road and see the tree that kills you
    oversteer-is when you go off the road backwards and dont see the tree that kills you

    Evans, please keep the language down. No need for that here, your welcome for the response.

    i'm gonna say it all depends on your budget, how much you are looking to spend. there's so much you can do with these cars it's not even funny. i've spent ~4 grand in performance upgrades alone in the past year. it is never ending.

    I'd like to think I'm pretty funny. But in all honestly, it is a good upgrade, saved me $500 a year for the past 5 years, probably even more if you have a wee-bit of a lead foot.

    It's how we vent on this forum about all those people who contribute to artificially inflating insurance rates (or having insurance companies bail on RHD altogether, like here in Ontario).

    All joking aside (and I know this isn't what you're asking for) a performance driving school is easily the biggest bang for your buck if you want to improve the performance of your car.

    Stuff you can do without a driver's license.... Remove all accessories and hoses, clean, inspect, buy new of what's looking sketchy, put it all back together. You might even get on a 'clean up the engine bay' kick and remove everything that is not required to support the single minded purpose of a lean mean Skyline. Get rid of heavy things, reroute wires, paint / powder coat visible stuff.
