be interested to hear from anyone - my crapper is a auto rb25de and it might be due for some cubic inches soon

No not in a Skyline, but doing one in my S13, and also (doing one) for a mate into his 280ZX. Chris has a Z31, VH45DE-T, GT35R running ~6psi and making 550rwhp.

BIG thumbs up to the BEST nissan engine ever! (from a cheap hp POV)

im actually quite keen to slot in a 1UZ FE from a Toyota Crown, Toyota Soarer Ltd or a Toyota Celcior. These engines regularly make 700 whp + unopened with quite modest boost.

Also, Castlemaine Rod Shop do a manual bellhousing/flywheel conversion for them to use the W series toyota gearboxes.

i dont know a lot about the Nissan V8's, i assume their also quite strong.

whats the progress don?

progress , umm xmas , too much work , relatives stayed for 2 weeks . how many more excuses am i allowed . Engine on one side of workshop , car on the other , looking at each other . Engine bay stripped ( 6 cyl engine and box sold ) , want to give engine bay a wash and paint , then start fitting . well run out of excuses so will get going again

Hey mate, Check out nissanv8.com and vh45de.com, theres heaps of info and just about all the resources required to stick the engine into just about anything between the two.

    • Ok, can confirm.  if you use it like a normal human being in the real world, it works fine.  it only starts crossing wires if I keep using the fob over and over again in a very short period. So if I just chill the f**k out, it works 😂😂  
    • Im about to run a e30 mix of e85 and 98ron but i read that australian fuels specifically 98ron doesnt contain ethanol so on the calculator when it says pump ethanol percentage do i just put 0 or is this statement even true? And if it is true i assume i dont need to test any 98ron pumps.
    • So... the fob I had for my Skyline always had this issue where the "Unlock" button worked with no issues but the "Lock" button did nothing (and I always had to lock with the key) I thought I'd try resetting and pairing the key to the car today to see if that fixes the issue. I did the standard steps to program a key but realised my central locking was doing its own thing from time to time. 1st time: The driver-side doors would not lock or unlock when using the fob. No issues with the key. I figured it was the right time to change the battery in the fob so decided to go get one. When I went to the shop all doors locked and unlocked with the fob (while it had the old battery 🙃)   2nd time: When I locked the car, it would lock itself and immediately unlock. If I unlocked it, it would unlock and immediately lock.   3rd time:  After a bit of cursing and praying, that weird bug stopped. But then the rear passenger door started being a pain. It wouldn't really follow what the fob was asking it to do. Sometimes even using the key would not do what I wanted. So I'd lock the car with the key and all doors would lock, but the rear passenger lock didn't do anything at all. And then after a few moments, it would work again.   Is there a fuse that I should be looking at? or, is this one of those things where the door card needs to come off and some unit needs to be replaced? It just seems to happen from time to time and if I give her some space and come back later, there are no issues  🤦‍♂️ Also, should I try to program the fob again to the car just to see if that solves it?
    • One would assume a turbo is somewhere in its future down the line given they slap turbos on pretty much everything that arrives   
    • I’m guess it’ll end up with a turbo
