nah, he's just trying all these excuses to make me buy anything other then a skyline, think I've worn him down, just had a call from him, he's still gonna shout me $3k of the cost as a 21st birthday pressy + next xmas or something, until I actually have it, I think he'll still try and reason with me to change but I haven't budged yet.

i think in this day an age... i personally would buy something other than a skyline. not to discourage you, but it really depends on what you want to do with it? track? cruise? drift? show? etc... from there you can decide.

my younger brother just bought his first car... cost the same as my skyline (back 4 years ago) - but is 8 years younger, more comfortable, effortless through the twisties, bucket seats, etc etc, ohh that's factory standard.. needless to say, i was the one that chose it for him, and i am madly jealous.

Im lost, whats this topic about???

My dad is back in town for the weekend and he has a 2001 Mustang SVT Cobra (plates are "STANG1") that sits in storage while he's overseas. It attracts a bit of attention around town. I've finally decided to start getting finances together to get a car and picked a nice Series 2 R33. He has over the past 5 days tried every day for at least an hour to get me to pick something else to buy. All the while we're looking around, people see the car and decide to squeal tyres or something past it, quite a few (not all though) being Skylines :stupid:.

I told him I'd post a thread about it, so here it is. Don't really seem to need to worry any more since he said he'll still pay a chunk, so just give a toot as you go past if you see him around, no need to be a dick about it :)

Yeah, I've already told him off for being a ford bogan, tomorrow is his last day in the country, so it'll be his last chance to try and get me to change my mind. Oh well. At least I should have a new car within a couple of weeks (this is taking too long :stupid:).

    • You don’t need to use full throttle all the time to break these blocks, 500kw at the wheels in more then enough to break them even with an occasional squirt. Hell I’ve seen them break under 400kw
    • A work around is to install the R35 card style AFM/MAF on the cold side of the intercooler piping and the BOV on the hot side piping. Works well, also you can combat the revs dropping by adding a bit more ignition timing on the idle ignition timing table to slow the rate of RPM drop.
    • Understood. If you dont have a ridiculous limit,  Tune, T's and P's are in check, and arent bashing it all the time and doing the due deligence for maintenance(inc oil analysis) then its pretty safe. 100% agree, let your right food control it to some extent.
    • So these external kits with the machined block for remote solenoid mount will only work on a NEO head and RB30 or RB26 bottom end   For an R33 head on a 26 bottom end the remote vct kit is to resolve RB26 manifold adaptor plates etc  IF you try to use the remote VCT on an RB30 or RB26 bottom end with an R33 head then  you can starve the cam journal??? I have one of these kits from bits I had years ago before plans changed  I don't understand how that tracks with this video   https://youtu.be/RuPiI22Mplk?feature=shared   This looks like I can run the v termite vct kit to feed the VCT on an R33 head on an RB26 bottom end?!?!?   Lol.... don't v have these problems on RB20s
    • Yeah i know that MAF is no no for this type of BoV. The engine has no BoV and "hose/pipes" ..it was all deleted (or probably it was not even on the engine when it was bought  ) It does that "sutututu" noise which i kinda do not want(atmospheric is better IMO...but standalone ECU)  What are the cons of running without blow off on stock RB25DET NEO. It running 5-7 PSI max (it has boost controller)   EDIT: and can Nistune be "tuned" to know there is no BoV to i dont know "know" and be better for a car? I read so many info about no BoV. One guy saying it is bad and hurting the turbo/engine/car and other that it does not...
