Hi Guys,

I bought a Nissan 200 STi in September last year (new) - South African edition of the Nissan Sentra that has the SR20DE Engine. PS, I am in South Africa. I have 15500 Kilometers on the clock so far.

I got 3 questions:
1) What high Temperature paint do you guys use to paint your engine to give it a good look e.g. Silver/Chromed Engine with the text in Red.

2) What is the power of this engine and how hard can I run it without damaging it. The power according the specs that I have are 103 KW and 178 Torque.

3) The air in-take pipe for the air box is currently situated behind the Left Hand Side HeadLamp. To me it seems as though the air in-take could be restricted in getting the air that it needs. If I had to get an extension air in-take pipe created and let it suck air from the bottom of the air/another location where air would enter the pipe directly without interuptions, would it make a difference to the performance. I have a performance air filter (pad version) installed.

PS. I am still learning about car's and what can and can't be done to them.

Please Help,
Thanks.

Wow this board has become an International depot for monkeys now..

Glad you made your way to this board. You will find a lot of useful and technical references as well as non sense in the off topic forum. Like he said try www.se-r.net thats where I started and i'm sure a lot of the guys can vouch for that one as well.

Good luck and happy motoring....
