Did you at least ring the number I posted earlier to see if they had any in? Its worth a look if you want a good example.

lol @ jay _bee
i know what everyone has said, but they are the only ive come across with them in stock, so at least i could go and test drive one to see if it really is the car for me !
and u never know i usually go have golden bollocks, so maybe just maybe i might get a good one from there
lol

Fair enough.
But you have been warned about KM. If you do insist on going to test drive one, please please go and at least look at some others before signing on the dotted line, even if you contact someone thats selling privately, you could use it as a comparision. Im sure you will see the difference. That said, you may be the one lucky punter that gets a good one from them, chance's are, you wont be though. From what I remember at Scooby Shootout II (and/or TOTB) last year, even their own skyline broke down!!

I dont think there is a "best" aftermarket system as such, its down to personal choice. My preference is H&S stuff (and theres a group buy on at the moment on here). Its possible I suppose that you could expect up to 320 with a full decat and induction plus remap IF YOU DONT KEEP SHOUTING AT PEOPLE that is 
You might find that the one you get already has an aftermarket exhaust, so before you get ahead of yourself, buy the car first. Second, learn to drive it before getting more power... they bite back. Seriously.
Oh and one other thing, you should learn how to use the Search function on the forum to do some of your research. If you do a search for "Knocklink", you'll get the answer's you're looking for. It just saves people answering the same questions over and over again. Not having a go or anything like that and most people are happy to share their knowledge but its always worth doing a quick search before asking, just to see if anyone else has asked the same questions before you. You wont be the first

Scooby + full decat = the neighbours will hear you leave and arrive everytime, regardless of backbox. Live with it, cos they'll have to

You're right mate. Mine and everyone else who has a type r that has seen 150+ are all talking sh1te, just like my GPS detector was as well.
If you havent tried, you cant say it wont, because it will. I've had mine straight from Japan, no other UK owner so the box wont have been changed for a longer 5th gear if thats what your getting at.
I think it's probably best to just agree to disagree, not looking for an argument as stated in my previous post.
At the end of the day, the lad will (maybe) buy one and find out for himself.
