1)Skyline brake kits are considered a bigger brake kit updgrade, they are not as big as most of the companies brake kits out there for our cars, but provide much better cooling on the rotors, due to cross drilling, and increased surface area, and clamping force is improved in general as clamping force from the pistons are stronger than stock. I would get a stop tech brake kit, best bang for hte buck and better than the gt-r system.

2)Test pipes remove your restrictive catalytic converters taht are purely there for emmision purposes, awesome to remove them or gut them, and whne emmisions is needed just bolt your cats back on (easy to do).. Down pipes remove the restrictive non free flowing pre-cats again for the purpose of passing emmisions,, awesome to remove them and get labree motor sports DP's.

3)Stock turbos have been said to take 30 psi, yes that is alot of boost, but thats with ppl who tweak there cars, play with lots of settings, and most likely have rebuilt there stock turbos with more durable internal parts in teh turbo. But generally stock turbos can run 15's reliably with a jwt computer, and mike la canada here in tt.net ran 19 psi on stock everything and ran 11's, so our cars have lots of potential i must say.

4)Best sway bars are suspension technics, they are the same as stillen sells, or buy from nismo motorsports.. very good to get, help your car deal with have a tightened steering response and also can be setup to help reduce serious understeer from our stock z setup. Strut braces well , stillen makes the coolest rear strut brace which is well needed, and the front is not as much needed but will stiffen the car response on corner rolls much nicer and i would buy the courtesy nissan one from courtesynissan.com, they have 2 models so just pick your budget. The more expensive one fits better in your engine bay, and the cheaper one on there site can be bought from direct parts website for 1/3 of the price.

5)well you might hear your car much louder and feel you gained alot of power but in reality you havent, you can gain anywhere from 10 - 25 hp gains with a cone intake filter not just k & N replacements in teh restrictive stock airbox.

Good luck
