From a "fast car" point of view, like a couple have said before, if you could get the AWD to work with a built LS1/LS2 and then twin turboed the engine, damn what a weapon that would be!! Lighter engine, better weight distribution, and being able to make 400-500rwkw with bugger all lag. I doubt many RB26's could keep up with it, regardless of how much power they had.

But yeah, i still personally wouldn't do it......................... But i think some one should :P

anyone who puts a v8 in a gtr needs to be shot

i voted V8

but i also agree with ^

confusing u much

the poll was putting a GTR up agents a R33 V8

nobody will be V8ing a GTR they will do it to a model of skyline that there are more of like R33 GTS

it is like when i see R34 Vspec nur's for sale and the ppl have changed turbos, changed rims, and done body work

this real pises me of big time if u are going to do that to a skyline do it to a base model not one that they only made 750 of

dont quote me on that number plz

o and thx every body to contributing the the poll and i hope that more ppl can add to it

so you'd be thinking of say a buick 3.8 finding its way into an R32 V-Spec then Terry? :)

There's a Soarer getting around here which sounds just like my VN actually, been meaning to wave the guy down and ask if it is in fact the original 4 litre!

If i had a choice of having an N/A LS1 or a RB26 in mine (assuming you could get AWD to work with the V8) I'd go LS1, purely on cheaper parts and maintenence.

What is/was the go with those? were they ever a full production car?

Terry, there's several Jag's here which have had the original V12 ripped out in favour of a 351 or a Chev - less reliability issues apparently lol.

The Chev was much more reliable and parts were cheap.

The Jag was notorius for oil seals, head, rings issues etc lol. esp till late 80s

I think it would be a big improvement! :D

mind you, all the Ferarri's I've heard going sound like a sewing machine or electric whippersnipper...

I wonder how that HR31 with the VH41 (I think) nissan V8 would go vs a GTR!

here's some youtube links lol, what kiwi bogans...

Oh I thought the reliability problems were throughout the whole car!

I wonder if a lambo or ferarri motor could potentially fit into a Skyline...

Yes that's true!

Jaguar went into a phase of outsourcing other obscure companies to make parts of a famous marque. So door handles broke into pieces, leather cracked terminally etc.

Enough said - so sad.

    • Coming home late at night and driving past the police is the only reason i need one haha And yeh, definitley needs a switch to quickly enable it, dont have time to be getting my phone, opening an app, waiting for it to update etc before being able to make the change
    • Because it is financially convenient for them lol. Why wouldn't they want to give you the lowest possible valuation for your car?
    • Yep. @Duncan also shannons they will rip you dry and will be probably limited on how much you can drive. Also keep in mind that you always have to have it garaged with Shannons, with enthusiasts as per their PDS you can have it 2 times per week on the driveway for example. 
    • I had a generic 4" Varex rear box on my old V8, worked a treat for sneaking home late at night, it was as quite as stock when closed The car was "fairly" loud when open as it consisted of 1" 7/8 headers to 3" catted Y pipe, to 4" single, it did have a resonator in the mid pipe and only the Varex out the back I also hard wired in a Varex dash mount switch, as the key fob thing is a pain to use when driving I wouldn't recommend giving the beans when it is closed though as it creates a large restriction in the exhaust  It also can in very handy when pulled over for "random" breath tests or just cruising past the constabulary   
    • Here is the before and after of the scraping/sanding of the IC pads on the tachometer board for the fix mentioned in this thread. And yes it worked fine after. Just a note if you change any components on the board the tach calibration can be wrong showing the wrong idle etc...only problem is once it is installed back in the cluster you can't get to it to adjust...ouch! My fix was to cut out the calibration pot (the blue one) from the board and run it with two wires to the fuse panel under the dash where I could adjust the idle calibration once everything was installed. And yes I soldered everything up again including the half soldered components either side of the IC in my photos
