I also need to know where to find a good skyline dealer, any help you guys can give will be great!

Keeping the rubber to the pavement.....

Friday night on George street - thats where the sik people meet up......they waste around a tank of fuel every friday night going up and down george st hoping to get chick's nunmbers and show off their half assed rice boxes

Auto Salon Show- thats where all the mega expensive, excessively powered cars with so much bling under the hood you'd be crazy to drive it. In short, lots of show cars, lots of go cars, uunfortunately, they all sleep in the garage and never gets used the way its built for. Don't know when the next Auto salon is but should be around feb or maybe march (don't have a clue)

Race Track - This is where the big boys play!!! You won't see chromed wheels, you won't see dark tinted windows and you certainly won't see mega horse power cars sitting in the garage all day. This is where you'll see how these cars are MEANT to be used. Thrashed within an inch of their life and limp home for rebuilds.

SAU monthly dinner - this is where piss heads get together for a meal and booze. You won't see many good cars, just fun people.

      Rb26- Enlarging Std Throttle Bodies

      By Predator1 · Posted

      bump. Anyone had this done? either 49 or 50mm? Been pondering what to do while mines in storage. Been thinking of DBW but if I do that, then might as well do this too. Want to retain 6 throttles. I have a fully build head(CNC, OS valves, 286/278 cams, etc etc still running squish), and a Greddy old school intake with port matching. Head bench flowed 300cfm. Wondering whether bigger throttles will give me any gains. Makes 563kw.

      It's the same with many brands that find their way into promotion via Youtube channel sponsorships. Those stainless guys, e-mail cut shippit, various other service and product companies.... they try to make it so that the only name that comes to mind when you think of doing those things is them, and then you just go get their stuff because your favourite channels are using it, so it must be good AND good value. Notwithstanding that the YT'ers don't pay anything for it. But a lot of people are not that sophisticated.

      Coc or nox of nissan skyline

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.
