Help (new owner)
Hi i am a new owner as well don't know nothing about the cars only what i have read recently. I brought a Jap import (i live in the UK) 93 efini. Need to know service plan and as much info as i can find about tuning this monster. It already has exhaust, twin HKS filters, Blitz BOV and turbo timer are there any mods that i need to do to make the car safe to drive and not blow up. At this time only really used to the Subaru impreza. I run the car on 97 ron fuel (the highest ron you can get in the uk) with a octane booster to bring it up to jap spec fuel.
P.S need as much help as poss as don't even know where the spark plugs go yet lol.

You WILL need to concentrate on proper service before worrying about tuning. It is easy to blow up without proper precautions.

I agree, read read read and use the search function before asking Q's. Readers like to bash others for asking questions without doing their research first. You will find some realiability mods that will serve you well if you want to help the car last longer. I also agree that your 97 octane is great and from your listed mods it doesn't sound as if the car is super modded. Octane boost is a wates of money too. If I am correct, an octane boost that claims a 7 point increase really only makes your 97 into 97.7 octane, not 104. Union 76 sells 100 octane (or "cool blue") if you really want. Good luck and show some pics when you can.
