Finally, after years of trying I took my first round win in Sports GTB. Thanks to Steeline, David Clifford Photography, Cable Mate, Dejay Signs and Benson Motorsports.

Car now is a rocket with 300kws. I wish I had it this good from the start. We have had to overcome a shitload of dramas the past year or so and hopefully now we have the speed, we can have some luck too!! Thats why Im wont be driving the car to its full potential. Best time was a 59.3....without trying too hard!!

Roll on R4 Aug 21st at Symmons!!

do you mind adding some specs of what you have now. engine? box? turbo? suspension? only if you dont mind.

Yeah I'd be interested too if you don't mind sharing, also what tyres you're using.

Tanks guys!!

60sec at Baskerville, 61 at Symmons cut off times for B

well after my original block was ruined, we have replaced it with a 25 block, still have the 20 head. replaced the high flowed Rb20 turbo with a garrtet gt 30 (rb20 turbo i want to sell now) the gearbox is standard, i need another diff ratio as im having to change gears at Baskerville too often now. suspension is a BC racing kit. Tyres are bridgestone RE55.

After the amount of money ive spent and dramas etc I want to make the car last (hopefully) so that is why I wont be driving it full bore (even though it feels wrong!!) I want to be racing not fixing the damn thing all the time, which is what we have spent the last year or so doing. I did think about detuning it, but then I would have to drive it harder, so lap time mangement is the way to go. But at some stage I will do some testing just to see how fast I can go!! Im just not made of money, sponsors help, but Im still paying for 90% of it!!

R20 head on 25??? did you machine the head out so the bore matched? open the ports up? How come you didn't run a 25 head, could have got vvt goodnes?

just cost. didnt want to have to change the wiring and the ecu. Im not sure if the head was bored, but we have different pistons in it. head not ported either. forgot to mention that i have a after market exhaust manifold and a GTR style intake. ill post a pic later.

Yes pics please. I'm surprised you can run the 20 head on a 25 block.

from what I know, the heads are not much different, but you have to run different pistons. there's alot of myths about these engines! I dont run resister packs either!

Congrats on the win John, hopefully its the first of many.

Was it a 25DET head (series one I assume) that you used? Also when you say you dont run resistor packs, I take it your running GTR injectors, what ECU?

      Possible swap on R34 RB20DE NEO?

      By Kapr · Posted

      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

      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????
