That thing is so tidy, saw the article on it.

Why does it have a GTR badge on it though?

Doesn't it just have a beefed up 2.5?

it's not a GTR badge for starters, It's a 2500R badge (I have no idea how he got it or where he had it made or anything)

and yes, it is just a beefed up RB25 but ... long story short, there is no such thing as a 2500R...

Legend goes that there were 3 cars taken off the production line to sort out a special type of car, like the 400R, but now imagine if the 400R never got put into production... You are left with 3 prototypes that lead to nothing...

That's what Malcolm bought... a pre production prototype. Albeit there is only one left and it's his, but there's no paperwork to backup such claims and how it looks now is definately NOT how it looked when he got his hands on it... it looks way better in my opinion, but some reckon he ruined the heritage (if it exists). He took a stab at how it would have looked and driven, and I think he did a good job!

That's my understanding on the subject :D

The Z-tune that landed here copped a poxy looking stereo install, from memory....

And a bloody ugly steering wheel.

Its a bit of a let down seeing it in real life (have been at Wakefield for powerplay trackdays where it and other rare cars are in attendance), there's so much hype over it, yes its rare and faster than most (if not all) of the factory GTR's but it seems out of place at a day like that where most of the GTR's there are highly modified (and faster) than the famous ZTune.

From memory, the 400R is RWD?.....if so, that would make a fun Dutton/rally car mated with a 2.8 stroker RB26

Nah, i think you're thinking of the R33 LM GT-R Steveo which was used in LeMans. The huge squarish widebody.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Looking for autoelectrician in Perth who can do the OEM to double din stereo upgrade.

      By Red Sky II · Posted

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
