Reading the beginning of the thread, i thought ok, this is something different.

I dont understand why people put this guy down so much for wanting to do something different.

Fair enough he lost all respect when he claimed the 200odd kw from the na setup but yeah thats another argument.

All you guys suck because you dont have open minds to people doing different things.

So what if he wants to make a GTR NA, i reckon it would be cool to see something different like that. It might not be the best bang for buck but hey, its his money. Who made all you guys king?

Why be like everyone else? Life would be boring it everything did the same old shit to their GTRs...hang on, it is boring because people do the same old shit to their skylines. Well most do anyway.

I agree, if he happened to be someone who wished to do it as a technical experiment as something unique rather than a 'loophole' to a law (which still fails), i'm all for it

The fact that he is an 18 year old that thinks he knows more about the laws than people who are far older than him.

Bottom line is, he wants an NA GTR to get around the turbo law. In fact, regardless of it being NA, he is still in violation of said law but he continued to argue the point.

Then he tries to claim that his supposed NA setup got 250awkw?

The guy is a joker, a young nieve know it all that has a lot to learn in life.

Another term for this kind a person is an 18 year old male, we are all like this at that age.

Maybe this kid is talking about his GTR in Playstation GT4

I don't see NA 2.6lt engine can make that much power unless you have big cams

18year old should have a 1.6lt to start with, eg something like civic, that's better.

f**k yeah...

Why are young kids stepping straight off trainer wheels and into frekin GTRs!? Madness!

Clearly they have very little respect for dangerous cars, I see it alot these days, driving on the road today, I saw a RED (first 6 months) P plater hanging a VY SS commodore sideways in the wet, he lost control in front of me and spun out, I stopped and gave him quite a verbal for it. In fact all cars are dangerous put in the wrong hands!

Inexperienced drivers and fast RWD based cars are a BAD mix, young drivers need to learn in a sub 2L small car, not a top of the range Japanese (twin) turbo performance coupes!

maybe all young people should only drive fwd cars so when they take a corner too fast, or try and do a burnout or slide it out they end up going straight off the road and hurting themselves and not others lol.

You mean like this guy:

+ 1

Personally I think its all about driver education teach the inquisitive younguns when there 16 and will take any excuse to drive, so that when they do get their P-Plates they can control anything from a 1.8L Pulsar to a 6.2L Clubsport. I spent my P's driving big RWD Commodore and Falcon wagons and learned the cars limits and my own quite quickly, so now I drive more or less grandma style keeping to the speed limits and only really giving it the boot at the traffic light GP.

As far as the NA GTR goes I can only echo my fellow SAU'ers opinions, it is one of the stupidest project ideas I have ever read about on here. OP do yourself a favour and just buy a R31 with the dirty 30 and have your fun, wrap it around a tree no biggie and your not out of pocket 20+k.

    • Very nice - I also have a 92 GTST and hardly see any others around these days
    • When I need something else to edit, I use Movavi. A friend who does video editing on a daily basis recommended me) it's an easy video cutter to use for beginners
    • I need to edit some videos for work but I'm not good at all this. Which video editor can you recommend?
    • I think you're really missing the point. The spec is just the minimum spec that the fuel has to meet. The additive packages can, and do, go above that minimum if the fuel brand feels they need/want to. And so you get BP Ultimate or Shell Ultra (or whatever they call it) making promises to clean your engine better than the standard stuff....simply because they do actually put better additive packages in there. They do not waste special sauce on the plebian fuel if they can avoid it. I didn't say "energy density". I just said "density". That's right, the specific gravity (if you want to use a really shit old imperial description for mass per unit volume). The density being higher indicates a number of things, from reduces oxygen content, to increased numbers of double bonds or cyclic components. That then just happens to flow on to the calorific value on a volume basis being correspondingly higher. The calorific value on a mass basis barely changes, because almost all hydrocarbon materials have a very similar CV per kg. But whatever - the end result is that you do get a bit more energy per litre, which helps to offset some of the sting of the massive price bump over 91. I can go you one better than "I used to work at a fuel station". I had uni lecturers who worked at the Pt Stanvac refinery (at the time they were lecturing, as industry specialist lecturers) who were quite candid about the business. And granted, that was 30+ years ago, and you might note that I have stated above that I think the industry has since collected together near the bottom (quite like ISPs, when you think about it). Oh, did I mention that I am quite literally a combustion engineer? I'm designing (well, actually, trying to avoid designing and trying to make the junior engineer do it) a heavy fuel oil firing system for a cement plant in fricking Iraq, this week. Last week it was natural gas fired this-that. The week before it was LPG fired anode furnaces for a copper smelter (well, the burners for them, not the actual furnaces, which are just big dumb steel). I'm kinda all over fuels.
    • Well my freshly rebuilt RB25DET Neo went bang 1000kms in, completely fried big end bearing in cylinder 1 so bad my engine seized. No knocking or oil pressure issue prior to this happening, all happened within less than a second. Had Nitto oil pump, 8L baffled sump, head drain, oil restrictors, the lot put in to prevent me spinning a bearing like i did to need the rebuild. Mechanic that looked after the works has no idea what caused it. Reckoned it may have been bearing clearance wrong in cylinder 1 we have no idea. Machinist who did the work reckoned it was something on the mechanic. Anyway thats between them, i had no part in it, just paid the money Curiosity question, does the oil system on RB’s go sump > oil pump > filter > around engine? If so, if you had a leak on an oil filter relocation plate, say sump > oil pump > filter > LEAK > around engine would this cause a low oil pressure reading if the sensors was before the filter?   TIA
