"Skylines are a supurb car to drive for performance and handling, however there are quicker cars that go in a straight line, but they are one of the toughest competitors around a track."

Not saying obveously you can make them go faster in a straight line, but it takes mods and money to do so... stuff that at the moment I imagine arent flying at you(im a p plater too)...

straightline performance could be had with a RB30 conversion and a bit of head work and internals. fuel systems etc, but yeah. 2.5L isnt really the best size for getting much torque out of.

il admit, a friends EB falcon beat me in a drag, mind you it had a bit of work done to it (cams, MPFI converted) but 4.0L really does own 2.5L for torque and shear power, its just physics. however the other part of that story is that round the twisty roads, she couldnt keep up :P. so skylines really do have great weight distribution compared to the urban boats that are the commondores and falcoons.

mate, if you read the thread and didn't understand it then i suggest you go searching around google and build your knowledge on cars and the terminology.

most of the stuff here has been repeated and is fairly basic. it sounds like you are lacking the fundamentals so try sites like "how stuff works" etc.

if you want straight line speed you shoul of bought a supra.

Its quite hard to extract decent power out of ye old 25DE.

But if you are hell bent on it. Go through the list I gave you. Its the cheapest and easiest way of getting a little more power out of the engine.

An Apexi SAFC is simply an air fuel ratio computer which you can tune and adjust air and fuel ratios. They can be had for $200 odd. And installed and tuned for a similar price.

So in total your looking at:

$600 cams (new)

$300 cam gears (new)

$200 SAFC (second hand)

$400 Lightened flywheel (new)

You already have an exhaust - is it a full exhaust.

CAI

Thats a rough price guide. You will have to include labour (if you cant do the work yourself)

Im simply answering your question.

Great thanks, and yeah i have a full exhaust. Apparently just having a full exhaust is illegal for me yet i've been pulled up by the cops and they haven't said anything about it (and they did look at the engine etc). I think cops mainly only look for turbo's in P plated car and don't care too much about any other parts.

Your lucky.. some people have been bent over and rammed like no tomorow by the popo ..

Indicate that your homosexual and try flirting with them, they leave you alone pretty quick.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
