Stally aint gonna happen for a month or so (fingers crossed i get a new job and get paid out a SH!T load of holiday pay). But i can access to a hoist anytime i want (the stage 2 kit is going on sat), so i am reckon i should give it a shot! Cheers for all your info dude, much apprecitated!!! Chris

Cool. Was seriously worried about drivability of em eh, but i was gonna do it either way. With regard to putting it in, did u do it yourself? I got a shift on my loungeroom floor that i am gonna put in, but i am thinking a stally is a job for the pros.

Mine arrived today. Those boys down there are tops to deal with. Goes in this weekend!!! Woo hoo

How does it fit with a front mount?

Somewhere in the 1500 posts on here someone has mentioned something about a replacement spring - i remember reading it ages ago but i cant for the life of me remember roughly where.

Screw it in and get more boost. Wind it out and get less

I had an actual queensland transport inspection officer do the same thing!!! It was terribly funny. Not a copper, but the blokes the coppers tell ya to report to if ya get done for something.

Wow that dude is crazy....

Cheers for that mate. Maybe a 3500 is not gonna happen, so a 3000 it prob will be. My big concern was wether it would need a piss load of revs to just navigate over speed bumps or a slight incline etc. Have u noticed any difference in fuel economy and what revs it needs to keep a steady 100klms even?

Awesome. This is gonna be a good cruise, we are hopefully gonna have even more numbers this time!!! There are literally dozens people pissed off cause they cant bring their non skyline cars! Gonna be tops!!!

I ordered one the other day. All the boys there are really tops to deal with. Couldnt be more helpful. Havent got it yet but the service is good. Just a side note, is it as easy as unbolting the pan, draining the fluid, un bolting the valve body and then swapping them over? Does it come with any sort of instructions at all?

Bump. Or should i just grab a 3000 to 3500 jobbie to keep it reasonably driveable?

HA HA HA That was the crappiest ad i have ever seen! That is soo funny i actually fell on the floor laughing. Good work RTA. I reckon the next ad will show that speeding is the cause of breast cancer. Tossers

Have you got what i need? I know heaps of places that have em, but i dont spose u have a spare set sitting aorund?

Dimensions? Do u have any better pics at all?

Hey everyone, your northern cousins should have some decent numbers for this. We have approx 10 - 11 cars confirmed, and half dozen or so more that will hopfully be coming! We have about a dozen non skyliner's also wanting to get in someone else's car and get involved. There mightn't actually be enough seats for all the passengers! If u are from cairns (or brownsville, innisfail, ingham, mareeba, port douglas etc) bring your skyline down and meet and greet everyone else in the area that shares a common passion!

Hello all, I will be ordering a shift kit on Monday, and have decided that I want to get a hi stall converter to go with it. By the time I get my hands on one and get it put in, I am reasonably expecting something in the area of 180 – 190rwkws. After having looked thru a bit of info about them, I understand that the procedure of picking a torque converter is related to where the engine is making peak torque in the rev range. Not having had my car on the dyno to see exactly where its making its peak torque does make it a little difficult to work out what stall speed I should be looking at for the converter. I notice that the majority of people on here have ones rated 2800 – 3000rpm. Is it safe to simply pick one off the shelf, even though one rated at 3000rpm might not always be the best real world application? I have read that I should be looking at one that is rated at around 500rpm lower than where peak torque is generated. Using the 3000rpm example, would that be best coupled to an engine that is producing peak torque at 3500rpm? My intention is once the car is dyno'd and I know where it's doing what, then I can work out what the converter should be rated at. The car is to remain completely drive able – I drive it 400klms a week – so I am obviously not gonna be chasing up something rated at 5500rpm lol. I am basically looking out for any advice anyone can give about this. I would also like to know about other people's set ups. I have referred a fair bit to the auto power and ¼ times thread that I have found on here, but it mainly refers to numbers, not set up details. Also, what is the best way of measuring this 'stall' – Flash or True stall? Not planning on having a transbrake, would I be correct that Flash stall would be what I should be asking about? I appreciate any and all comments or advice anyone has to offer (this is the 1st auto 'performance' car I have owned, so I am like a sponge at the moment – I am soaking everything up lol) Cheers, Chris

DVD Player sold. Cheers

Is it just the guage, or all the associated other bits and pieces as well?

No dramas mate. Royal Purple, i will look into it. And i do realise that skylines and cheap never go in the same sentence. I spend big on everything else so i aint gonna skimp on something as important as oil

Well bugger it i will give it a go. Where would one usually come across a "13cm bit of 3 inch metal pipe?"

Thats actually quite clever. I was thinking about getting a proper hard pipe welded up, but i might actually give this a whirl at some stage into the future. Is it really that effective, is a non squishy intake really gonna have that much of an effect? Cheers, Chris

If the oil guage falls thru, let me me know please. Chris

Would the engine guard (the bit under the engine that deflects rocks and stones etc lol) fit an r33 sedan? Cheers, Chris

I can understand what your saying, but i think because it is such an iconic namesake, the new GTR will be a force to be reckoned with. Its because it has such a tradition and persona about that it will attract such attention all over the world. And the new v6 arrangement is totally different to the straight 6 that was replaced in the 34, therfore every thing about the car - including its 'persona, demeanor, tradition, history etc' will also be different. And i would sell my soul to the devil to own one. Hmmm. Anybody have his number????
