It's back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Picked it up on Xmas Eve, had a great time in it so far but I'm still running the new engine in (it has been completely stripped and rebuilt now) so it'll go back in Jan for the last few bits to be fitted and get mapped.

Done 550miles so far with another 450 or so to go then mapping here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice car, nice engine bay

How many Skylines are there in the UK?

In Sydney for example, if you take a quick drive to the city on a Friday night you'll see around 5+ Skylines - are they that common in the UK?

Thats f**kin nice mate, car is lookin good! I'v just moved to oz from the UK and am lookin to get a skyline in the near future so thought i'd join this forum for some tips on buyin one etc. Wont see to many of them cruisin round your area i bet yer, lookin sweet

Wink - There's probably over 1000 (at a rough guess) but most are nearer the south of the UK. I've driven over 1000km's in a week and only seen one other (a very nice R34GTR in Silver).

R33GTST's seem to be the most popular, then R32/R33GTR's then R34GTR/GTT then R32GTST's being the rarest.

did it occur to you that they're rare because they're the slowest and oldest of the ones he listed :P The UK has virtually no import restrictions, and the process is a lot simpler than ours, however the end-cost of importing (taxes, duties, customs etc) is a lot more than it is to Australia, so if you're gonna import, you make sure you get a good fast car to start with. R33's and R34's also have stronger factory Nissan support in the UK as they were both sold locally (grey imports, just like the R32 GTR was sold here).

but y ?

I would have thought the engine that came in the 34 would be far better than an older RB26...

Any gains in power would be minimal I would assume.

34 gtt's came with neo RB25's....which is what that car there is, a GTT not a GTR

looks so damn sweet B)

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
