I use to own the white skyline with gold wheels and carbon bonnent that is now in launny. I'd like the see the dyno sheet for it. It made 242kw at wheels with only 12psi so it could make close to 300 with more boost. The car doesn't get the power to the ground though.

Was bored tonight after a few drinks and did some searching for my car and its previous owners.

Its funny how way back then 300kw was a big deal. lol

For everyone that new this car and the old 25 way back then.. When it finally did die after lots of abuse we pulled the engine down to check it out.

With the setup I bought it with and running haltech E11v2 it made 300rwkw @ 17psi. It stayed like that for a while then the same engine with twin T3/T4 turbos and 1000cc injectors made 399rwkw and was very very laggy. lol

Anyway, the engine stripped down we found it had Tomei pistons, Tomei 256 inlet and 264 Exhaust cams, Tomei springs, metal headgasket and everything else was stock.

So the poor old 25 put up a good fight before it burnt no.6 piston and lost compression. It still drove with a slight gurgle at idle and still smoked the tyres in 3rd gear.

Its had a few big changes since back then, Now has a built 26/30, Garrett T51r, soon to have 1600cc injectors, 175hp nos kit and C4 auto. Will be tuned in a few weeks once I get it all sorted and back together again

Ha ha ha ha...

I remember going for a lash in it with Andrew (the origional owner) the day it rolled off the boat. It pushed 240 odd rwkw later that week. It was fast back then.... especially compared to my r31 gts-x coupe!!!

Ahh.. the good old days.

We allways wondered what was under that head....

Yeah funny how times change, I was with Matt when he first took you and you girl friend for a ride in it from the silver dome I remember the look on your face, you loved it as did every one that went for a ride in it at the time, what stood out was the sound of it, the screamer pipe was like nothing else any one had ever heard before and it was dyno’d in Melbourne at Race Pace- Ice with old owner Andrew or the importer did? and now is Matts Mechanic for his GTR and only found out as he was telling him about his old cars lol small world

yeah he still got the GTR, its nearly been 2 years since it was last running lol got a full cage put in it about a year ago, and only just took it to Kuzzie’s a couple of weeks ago to have it put back together just chasing up a couple little parts, it's got a whole new motor and turbo’s and new suspension and 8 pot APracing brakes. Matts hoping to take it to Melbourne in a few weeks to Race Pace to have it tuned and other new bits put on. He still keen to take it up the drags and stuff but it’s now built for tarmac rally's and has entered in Targa Wrest Point and the Rookie Targa next year, I’m going to be navigating for Matt its gunna be awesome fun.

I can’t wait to see your old best at the drags again and in the burn out comp, it will be great to see a import with big power at the drags!

      I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.

      Rob's S Chassis track cars. Now with more s15 and less 180sx

      A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.

      FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
