Hi peoplz,

Just starting a thread up for my project for every one to see and have there view on it!

Project: 84-86 31 Skyline

Engine: Nothing in bay

Conversion: RB20

I have bought the 31 from a good mate of mine and will be putting in a RB20.

I will be going to have a look at the engine next thursday, as well as the car and ill also be picking up some rims (stock steelies) just so i can roll the car to my mechanical engineer that ill be helping with the coversion, if i have any time off work! And to get the car registed with the new engine in!

I will have pics up of the car and the engine on thursday nite...

The mods im looking at would have to be Adjustable Cams, Turbosmart eBoost 2, Deceptor Pro BOV, FMIC, Walbro 040 Fuel Pump, High Flow the T28 and possibly an external gate, Apexi AFC Neo, Apexi turbo timer, and many more (just cant think lol)

yeh soz thanks for that disturbd lol yeh ill be doin brakes but at first ill only be doin minor mods to start with then wen i get into full port polish and honed head and forged internals and bigger turbo and fuel and everything else is wen ill be doind brakes! But for now its just gona be a light build with just so i can rego the car!!! lol

Also mitchy ive gone and got the latest issue of hot4s and in that was a crx in one of the cruise pages for a honda cruise in vic and this car look massivly like a shitty stock crx but man oh bloody man the shit it had in it was unbeliveable hahaha it even had a black painted FMIC hidin behind the stock front bar and this thing FWD was runnin somethin like 185kw at the front wheels lol massive for a B16 FWD...

So i was actually thinking til i either get a custom front bar or a complete upgraded body kit (the one now is also awesome) ill prob go with the sleeper look for sure!!! hehehe just make it look like its just a plain old shitty rb30e skyline hahaha

R32 driver the 040 is walbro and the 044 is the bosch im pretty sure as thats wot was advertised in modyourcar.com... but ill deff lookinto it again haha

I agree

the brakes should be the very first thing done before any engine work begins

car pobaby wouldn't make it over pits without brake upgrade

you know brake should be first, but you're not doing them first?

regardless of if its a stock engine or not, an 20det puts out more power than a 30e, and after seeing the size of the stock brakes, i'm glad mine has 33 gts-t brakes all round.

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • 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
