pfft as if man. skylines are crap. i'll race you in my dads manual holden station wagon with one hand tied behind my back and still beat you!

Oh please, surely this isn't worth 23+ pages of debate??

But because I am hooked in like a sucker too, I will add my 2c - I am a 5th generation Australian, my ancestors stole bread for me to be born here, I was conceived in the back seat of a Holden & grew up with 5.0L+ of Holden & Ford icons. So why do I drive a GTR?

Simple, engineering prowess, 2 door sports coupe (2 doors = sports, 4 doors = family taxi) that for the $$$ performance, stuff all else on the road can touch. I have given up wasting fuel on ‘fly-by’ Commonwhore’s that should’ve been pressed metal 10 years ago – believe me if there was a Holden that could satisfy my carving for quality performance I would be there – but there’s not.

All I can say is find someone who owns a Skyline & go for a ride – I am sure you’ll then come to understand the ‘dark side’.

You have hit the nail on the head that is so spot on and why we have all turned to nissan.......

:O:D:D:D

i asked my dad but he wouldn't give it to me. he's scared all the power might be too much for me. you're lucky punk.

Look bro,I love my skylines..and V8s and everything else.But its the package that counts for me..a car that has ALL the power and absolute shit handling is not for me.Skylines got good handling and makes the power and the handling is where the holdens suck at.

Just my opinion..and I drive holdens nearly everyday,btw.

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
