160hp might be the 1.6 Turbo.. do know that the 1.8 Turbo can reach 200hp (one of our clubmates has one) and GT-R can go even above that.. Haven't seen a GT-R F ever though... only the normal 323 BG never the 323F..

Friend of mine managed to get 150hp (on dyno) out of his GT...
can find that movie here, turn down the volume of your audio!

Mine got 136hp on dyno, but that was only with the Cosmo Cold Air Intake.
Got a Catless -Muffler now, and the head is planed with 2 mm and open end of Remus.. Doesn't make the awfull noise, but have to test the new power output.. hope to be able 14th of March..
can find mine here:

well the morons at the roads and traffic authority (rta) have deemed it dangerous
u can still put them on but if the police pull u over and see it they will sticker your car saying it is unsafe
then you have ring a tow trunk to come and get you then you need to pay a fine put it back to stock bring it to the rta building
and they will deem it safe again. they do they same if your extuasts are to loud 125 db. car to low. wheels to big. subs to loud and just dumb stuff
my friend had a holden commodore vl calais turbo with 850 bhp and instead of a air filter he welded on some chicken wire
you dont have thos cars in europe tho i went to holland for 2 months last year because my fathers side migranted to australia
mothers side still live there in zaandam 10 minutes away from amsterdam by train. holland is a nice country
