haha, i always get harassed, but ive had my whole install sitting in the garage for a few days now, and with my new mods i beat a 32 gts-t (standard), standard rexy, and a large number of commodores. its great thinking of leaving the stereo out till my new engine is complete.

i often get joked about though, things like, oh someone stole ur intercooler john.... haha... i dont really car, when my new engine is in there will be no joking, just embarrasment to all other parties involved....

Hmm. I dont lose to commodores often. Even the SS I can usually keep up with easily. I did have a xr6 turbo beat me the other day though. The only mods I have is full exhaust, pod and SAFC. Mine's a 34 though so I know im lighter than a 33 and I have light rims too. So im quite sure stock an 34 is prob quicker than a 33.

have u had it serviced since u bought it? change the plugs and oil, NA skylines arent by no means slow but they are definately not a fast car either, and without mods like extractors and an safc they make most of there power high in the rev range, extractors have so far been the most worthwhile mod though i havent had my safc tuned properly yet, the extractors gave the car some really fat midrange power this is what alows me to beat turbo cars as im already ahead while there turbo is still spooling up.

ummm the 3 liter block..... well read my mods to be completed thread it will tell u exactly what im planning to do, shame to be leaving the world of NA but the desire for some serious power has been killing me, and serious power it will be when completed.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
