Pintaras were 4 cylinder (CA20E single cam from memory? Someone correct me if I'm wrong), Skylines were 6 cylinder (RB30E obviously). That was their big difference :laugh:

Kewl... ...Thanks for that... ...If that is the only difference then it isn't going to matter which one I get as I've got a different motor to go in...

And when it is debadged and cleaned up... ...I'm hoping there isn't any difference...

Lots of differences, but largely the above, plus the diff is different (smaller axles), trim levels are different, instruments are different...and so on.

Ahh... ...The diff and axles is good to know... ...If I go the Pintara route this might need to be swapped out for something stronger...

Trim and instruments are just cosmetic and most likely also going to be removed / replaced / turned into a new computer chair...

Not what I was thinking but still good to know... ...Gives me an idea of how big I can go... ...or how much space I'll have left...

Maybe that was about a U12 Pintara??.... The R31 Pinni can be done easy enough i think

www.r31skylineclub.com

Search that for what ur looking for

Like Ash said... Start with a skyline, will be much cheaper for u in the long run rather than buying a pinni and putting skyline stuff in it.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
