I went for a drive in my NA skyline and my mate had a '98 vectra and still i started to slowly pull away at around 105 :D

There either prety good cars or mines slow as..

I can confirm your car is 'slow as'. Because out of the factory brand new they are 'slow as'. It isn't a gtst, even they are slowish.

I raced a modified VS Senator last night (well it sounded modified and had a huge exhaust). It was virtually neck and neck the whole way, but by the time we backed off I had started to very slightly pull ahead. Nothing to write home about, but I had 2 passengers and he had none! I would have thought that the V8's torque would have reeled me in but apparently not.

Oh, and due to the really awful launch I did I decided I really need some pineapples. (that's not my excuse for not doing any better, because his launch was as bad as mine :D)

The weight and gearing worked against the Senator JimX. And as for '98 Vectras, a V6 Manual can keep with a 200SX (i've seen it done).And all LX Torana-onwards Holdens do single-spinners as it's the way the BorgWarner diff operates. My old UC Trana did it, a mate's VH did it. VTs, VXs, and VYs do it.

I saw my first R34 4 Door yesterday.

Damn they look really nice. It had no spoiler on the back and was a dark silver grey. It also had a nice set of wheels.

Definately nicer looking than say a Commodore and I think the Commodore do look nice so thats saying some thing.

They built a GT-R (4wd, ATESSA, etc) with RB26DE, i know a guy who lived in Japan and knows the dude who runs Autech and got taken for a run in the car. I dunno if it did the round of shows, i know it was his daily driver for a fair while. He reckoned it was a better drive than the TT GT-Rs

Ja i saw it. And the car i am talking bout was a GT-R (4 door shell loaded with the pumped guards/spoiler, etc) and NA RB26. GT-R interior as well.

I'll e-mail my mate and get the link to the car. I KNOW the car, it was the bloke's private road car... He built one with 4WD and the GT-R guards, one with the guards but without the 4WD system as well...

I don't think we're talking about the same car Rezz

    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email. (+19517081648) email is juan@bardabe.com   
    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
