Hi,

Im looking to add a turbo to my 1987 R31 Silhouette Skyline

The car is completely stock, I have no idea where to start.

Im not looking to add a intercooler first off, but any advice on what to buy would be awesome.

Just get a complete vl turbo rb30et setup...exhaust manifold, turbo, xover pipe etc etc it bolts stright up. Check calaisturbo.com.au forums usally has all the parts you need for your conversion.

This is an easy conversion ive done it with an old vl be4. Took me half a day and i was boosting up the street.

Once you get a cooler wind up the boost to about 9/10psi and feel the power of a hi compression low boost setup! i must add that this has been done many a time with and without reliabilty issues.

you could also bolt on to your current setup, if you upgrade to a aftermarket ecu.

step by step, i.e bolt on the ecu, turbo.. exhaust, intake. then start going cooler and other mods.

yeah thats the way i wanted to go

      You know how I know I'm getting old? Because I feel this quote jells with me and SAU Forums, ha ha ha. I've gotten lost a few times as I had muscle memory to scroll to where I wanted on my phone and just click, now I'm lost... Ha ha ha     "I used to be with ‘it’, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now what I’m with isn’t ‘it’ anymore and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary."

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      You don't lose spark if your battery isolator isn't wired correctly and the ECU still has power from the alternator.   Car has an epic wiring problem. Sounds like power connected really really badly in places. Possibly a power pin on a ground pin for the ECU, and constant power in locations that should be switched ignition.   It needs someone good at diagnosing electrical, a good multimeter, and someone with the wiring diagrams to match the engine loom that has been put into the car, and wiring diagrams for the body side of things from the car.

      Front tower strut brace options

      By PNM35 · Posted

      Hi folks, what options exist for PNM35 or what models share the same dimensions and fitment for the front top of tower strut brace. I have seen a few options pop up through Google, the Ultra Racing Australia for one. I have seen some eBay ones that claim they fit C34 and M35 but can't find details if to work out if its true. Also found Taiko / TEMA4x4 claim the one type fits: - Nissan Stagea (2-nd gen; M35) 2001 - 2007, - Nissan Skyline (V35, HV35, NV35, V35, PV35) 2001 - 2007 - Infiniti G35, G35X (3-rd gen; V35) 2002 - 2006 But not sure how true that is. Anyone fitted one or know of someone using one and can confirm what does fit?

      AC Compressor

      By Butters · Posted

      I got the full kit.   The compressor as above is much smaller and lighter.  Also quieter. Bracket is visually mint and much lighter. The dryer and heat exchanger(rad) are one unit. Also smaller and lighter.  Much more room for an oil cooler. The fan I got was a bit Meh and I might change it.   And above all else it is more efficient, tested a good 3-4 degree's cooler than the old system, which is a lot. Disclaimer though - It wasn't a back to back test given different days. It really does feel colder though(always).  And this example is in my car with that crusty looking old compressor, not new vs new

      I did not need to see this! With summer quickly approaching... Did you just get the compressor with the bracket or the full kit with fan and everything? In what way is different to the old OEM one?
