all the same engine but engine has evolved over the years with improvements to torque and power delivery and the power itself is up even though they all have a power figure noted of 206kw but everyone knows that this was fudged by a fair margin there is a good writeup on this somewhere I think it was in HPI will have to dig it up

i will have a mv automatics valve for sale in a couple of weeks!!

or the whole auto box with it if someones interested.

im getting a rb30 bottom end built,manual conversion and 150hp nos kit run by my haltech(fed automaticly,cant trust myself with a button!!!)

re-tuned to 24psi.

should be good to go in 4 weeks!

...Jay ur a crazy mofo!

Motion seconded!

My mods, sell RS4 and buy 260RS.

+ exhaust, boost and PFC = 250awkw

+ full suspension kit from RS4, stereo from RS4 and stuff i dont already own

+ BEE*R wheels, + AWESOME tyres, + 2nd set of wheels with semi slicks.

alex your suspension kit wont fit the 260rs u know, well the fronts will but the backs wont just to let u know.

or do u mean thats the stuff u got to sell ?

Alex you will need the fork style bottom for the rears.

That is called a front strut bar, as it goes between the front strut tops.

I dont know wether you can buy a genuine Stagea one, I thought they were standard?

You can buy aftermarket ones, should cost you ~$100 for a cheapy.

nissan would sell them but i couldnt imagine the stupid price they would want for one, i'd be guessing over $200 easy, so as ska as said best bet is an aftermarket one from whiteline (ask sydneykid im sure he could organise u one), or one from another company, im 95% sure they would be identical to r34 gt-t's but thats only guessing so dont take my word for it :)

hope it helps

Brad

Mods to do:

*Get door inserts retrimmed in black suede, maybe roof lining too.

*New shocks/springs (through darrin! :) )

*10" flip down tv for back, 7" for front.

*More dynamat sound deadening for front & rear doors

*Get my guages finally installed

*CF look dash (yahoo jp)

and thats bout it ... my car's more for cruising than for speed.

just won my bid for a highflowed VG30 turbocharger !!

:)

future plans obviously now revolve around this beauty.... dunno tho the condition, could require rebuild (already highflowed lol!!) but might be all ok. Will find out soon enough I guess, should get it in the next 2 weeks. coming off a R32 making 257 at 14psi, apparently.

whoohoo!! Im guessing even if it is shagged, being pre-highflowed, a rebuild would be under a grand? meh, either way my winning bid was CHEAP!

I plan on running mine in. only 800 kms to go.

Good luck

Nice work Brendan! I see a very nice price there, good work, if it is in good nick that is a real bargain!

Cheers

Luke

cheers Luke - $150 off ebay LOL, no-one else bidded as the very bottom line stated "item sold Suit Rebuild regardless of condition"... very confusing. Ive asked the seller (all paid for lads, soz) about it and he says its still on the R32, was driven into the wreckers yard, pics look good, he cant gaurantee the exact condition so he wrote that little statement as part of his normal business practise.

it has a 7day return policy, and was advertised as highflowed, so Ive got a few comebacks if it isnt as advertised on ebay, as per ebay rules, etc. But I dont see how I can go wrong.... if its in bad nick then I'll save upto a grand and have it rebuilt only, if its in good nick then Ive got the Ebay Bargain Of The Year

    • In a few years from now, you'll regret that. It'll eat away at you, knowing the truth of the ugly hiding beneath the beautiful exterior... 馃槢
    • I don't think the G2 profile is particularly dangerous for the engine per se, more just are you actually ok with the turbo lag trade-offs? If the answer is yes then go for it. I personally don't think I'd be ok with it because I spend so much time at lower RPMs and I really enjoy the feeling of being able to stay in 5th gear on the highway and just roll into the throttle to get boost. Or staying in 3rd gear on "gentle canyon cruises" without feeling the turbo lag too badly. The 525 pump should be able to run flat out on factory lines but I would bet the pressure drop from pump to regulator is quite impressive. I don't know how much it would be exactly but I've seen figures like 30 psi thrown around.
    • It's interesting seeing everyone talk about what level of risk they are happy to tolerate.  Building a GTR always has a level of risk, you could be that lucky guy that drops 20k on the engine build alone and still has the thing go pop on the dyno. Life is fun like that.  The way I see it, the thing is a toy to be enjoyed. I'd be happy to turn up the power on stock motor and limit the risk with sensible tuning and engine protection. If it still goes pop, it is what it is. The car isn't a daily driver so it can happily sit while a plan is made to sort it out.  Given this thing will be a street car only, I really feel it's worth the (relatively small if managed well) risk to turn the power up to around 350KW on e85.  I don't think anyone getting into the skyline game now is doing it out of logic. Surely it is a purely emotional decision so I'm not sure how important it is to think about the engine build logically. The heart wants what it wants.  @joshuaho96 little note for Josh, I run my 525 pump flat out all the time and through the factory lines without any issues. (excluding the melting connectors, that's sorted now. we'll pretend it never happened lol)
    • But the Nexus S3 is very expensive and won't be as purpose-built for the application as a separate electronic boost controller :^) More seriously my pet issue here would be that the Walbro 525 running at 100% duty cycle is going to require more FPR than the stock setup can handle. I'm also pretty sure from what I've seen elsewhere you might want to slow down the pump regardless unless you're going to come up with some way of upsizing the fuel lines coming from the fuel tank. Factory 8mm fuel line doesn't actually flow very much if you want to keep pressure drop down between the fuel pump outlet and FPR. If you really want to "keep it simple" I would run only as much pump as you need and source a fuel pump controller to slow down the pump in the vain hope of being able to run stock-style FPRs which are pretty dinky. Or just use the HICAS lines and it should be mostly fine. OP should also really think hard about what profile they'd want out of the turbo. My pet choice here would be the G1 profile rather than anything higher power but YMMV. I already think ~stock turbo lag is pretty bad so I don't want to make it worse. In "gentle canyon cruising" I found that I spent a lot of time around 4-4.5k RPM. I also recommend DIYing labor if you're detail-oriented enough. Costs are high for labor + if you do it yourself you can be your own quality control.
    • GTSBoy is again on the money. My actual advice? Sell the car. (really). For what it's worth as is, you can sidegrade into something much better. If you care about function then this is the actual move. If you want a Skyline to perform, set aside about $100K to do it. This is NOT a typo. You will see right away these are two very different mindsets. Realistically we're talking full restomod for any Skyline still kicking around. Have an honest think about which one you are.. and what you want to do, and how much you want to invest in this (with no return).
