that looks good, should be nice and torquey. It good to see the more extreme conversions still happening.

I doubt there are going to be any turbos on the side of that, by looking and the room just some simple headers look to be a stretch, although if they could make the manifold come to the front of the car, you probably could stick one nice big single in front of the engine.

What car is this out of??

The VK56 has a pretty bullet proof bottom end.

These things are out of nissan Titans that weigh between 2200kgs to 2400kg's or so and 15.4 sec 1/4 miles out of the lightweight? 2,200kg ones have been done stock. not bad for a full size truck with a 5spd auto-gearbox. People get them into 12's with a small shot of gas . lose 800kgs or so and how fast would you go? :D

the day my engine is knackered im gonna steal dads 400hp+ 5.7 v8 out his ss and put it in my line, the guy who tunes dads ss has a r33 with 5.7 v8 and he is so quick round barbagello,

That would be the Street Force R33 Skyline, that conversion was done years ago, sounds nice as though.

And yeah that car above with the R34 GTR front end on it would be the twin turbo R34 coupe that is bashing around the Drift Australia circuits.

Also in regards to the VK56 conversion, I've seen a couple of people bash around with the VH45DE motor, which would be the motor series before the VK (which are also quad cam alloy V8's that are also a shit load cheaper to buy) in a couple of nissan platforms.

The main issue with the VH45DE was the height issue, with most people resorting to cutting the bonnet open to fit it in. And also finding that a manual gearbox bell housing would have to be fabricated to fit up a manual box. I believe there is a R33 with this conversion floating around in the Naturally Aspirated section with an auto box. Think it has a blower as well.

There are only two V8's that I would bother putting into a skyline and thats the 1UZFE (4.0l alloy quad cam V8) which I wouldnt bother unless there was some sort of forced induction hanging off the side of it....... or the LS1 which are a tough motor as it is, TON'S of aftermarket support like off the shelf turbo kits and have a variety of strong manual gearbox's to bolt up to it. Not to say also that replacement motors are dead cheap.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's a short. Find the short. It will be somewhere between that fuse and the headlight. Start by removing the plugs from the back of the headlight and dimmer switches, and measure resistance to earth. Supply side (power from the fuse) should have none. The other side should have resistance compatible with whatever globe(s) is there (which is relatively easy to say for a normal globe, perhaps not as easy to say for LEDs). Anyway, if you have very low resistance, you defo have a short. Then you just have to run the wiring like you're running the bowel of a dog (on the operating table) that has swallowed something it wasn't supposed to.

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      Hey guys, need help figuring out why my driver side (RH) fuse 15amp keeps blowing. The Driver Sides Headlamp is out, i replaced these a long time ago with LED ones that were working for 1-2 years. Now, the driver side light is out and i traced it back to a broken fuse. I replaced the 15 amp fuse in the engine bay and as soon as i flip the headlight on, it blows the new fuse. Any idea what's going on?

      I found the same with Subaru’s.  I own and love the SG9 Forester, after that model 2008+, Subaru threw the ugly stick at all their line up and somehow managed to make them look worse with every succeeding year.  lol

      It's something we all have to consider as time marches on. Also consider lifted rally MX5 conversion at that point.

      I should be fine for a few more years, whilst I do have arthritis I also exercise and do mobility training every day to keep as fit and healthy as I can, military life, which is the actual cause of most of my joint issues, has set daily regimes, which I weirdly enjoy I also train alot smarter now, not really focusing on lots strength or puffy muscles, I'm more focused on maintaining what I have for my future older self, I actually train as much mobility now as I do exercising Check out this "simple" drill I have been doing daily prior to training now for a while now, this has worked wonders in my all round mobility
