:P

Not another one!!!!

I know a cheaper way mate.

spend some of your money on a corolla.

then spend the rest of your $7K or so on steroids, hit the gym, get fcuking massive and when any of your xr/clubadore mates says anything about your corolla, go nuts, rip their arms off, and beat them to death with them.

:) Roids shrink nuts-I was just kidding about showin up my mates, why buy a skyline if you dont want a fast/powerful car? thats what you get on this forum for is advice on doing upgrades etc... but I suppose you knew everything there is to know about skylines the minute you sat in one? the rest of us have to start somewhere and wheres better than here?

Im not looking at to build a supercar just want a bit of extra power, Im well aware of what these things can end up costing you and advice is what Im here for, my thanks to those that gave it

BOV'd... have you been in a modded car with a stock turbo at around the 200rwkw mark?

i think you'll be surprised at just how fast it is.

Yeh I appreciate your advice, Ive driven some fast cars WRX's, BMWs, clubbys etc.. just not many skylines except for mine and my brothers and Im not a young hoon bound to write myself off, my lines fairly stock except for exhaust, filter, clutch so whats that say 150-160kw maybe? if I was going to push it up to say 240-260kw then id definatly change suspension etc...

big money for no reason mate..

I just don't understand some people..

good luck.

Im just looking into it at the moment and from what Ive been told so far it looks like for about 2k more than ive been qouted to get the 25 and put it in i could put in the 26 and would'nt worry about turbo upgrades etc... and spend the extra cash on the cosmetics of the car, thats if what Ive been told is true which is why i'm asking :D

      R32 GTR clutch master cylinder adapters

      I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car

      Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.

      I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it

      If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣

      I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
