I'd be up for it: will have fresh paint by then!

stealing ur idea a lil... when i get the car im going to see what sort of finish is on the paint. if its not like GLASS, i will be rubbing back the clear coat a lil and busting out a few coats, so i can rub it back to smooth with some 2000grit paper and buff it to mirror finish. Black has to be SUPER shiny to be good i reckon... Getting an aero grille too, through slidewize imports, and doing something tricky with the taillights.

I better get second pole position for being second person to post haha.... Big cruise down to sydney! SLeep in the back of teh waggins. Or string hammocks between them.

Convoy! We'll all need cb's and call signs... :) and trucker hats...... and no-doze...... and other less legal stimulants...... just like real truckers.....

*Disclaimer* Not actually knowing any truck drivers, I make all these comment in jest, and in no way intend to imply that truckers wear trucker hats, or take no-doze

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
