the natro ones will beat a natro skyline, but that is beside the point. the main point is that the dash looks like the cockpit of a 1950's plane that has been butchered to fit in a car.

I've seen one butchered further to fit into a VL and covered with diamond quilted beige leather.

I dont mind the interior on supras ... their tiny though, i was going to go for one of them but the skyline had lots more room .. not that thats an issue with my midget size but its alot easier to get in and out of especially in a tiny and tight garage like mine :)

Rocky auto in Japan have built a 26/30 with triple webers making just over 300hp

but these projects should only be for the obsession of building a ridiculous n/a RB. The results can be cool but your wallet suffers soo hard.

If you wanna be a sneaky P Plater might i suggest a company in the us called STS turbos. just dont blame me when the cops pull you over cause your n/a skylines exhaust sounds like a jet turbine :P

You can legally put something like a 6L na motor in a skyline, does the P plater rules say anything about a big NA v8/six ? If you got say a 5.6L nissan V8 out of some massive truck that is too heavy to be on the banned list, could you get away with that?

edit: Perfect choice of car to put an rb30de in, being as they came out with a 2.6 or some people put the 2.8L motors in, a newer 3L twin cam really suits it. NA RBs usually sound like dogs balls as well so it sounds surprisingly nice, might be the cam they are using.

Im in QLD so im not really up on the p plate laws of other states. but i wasn't aware of any states allowing any engine swaps other than engines that came optioned for that model. ie:you can put an RB25DE neo out of a 34 into an R32 because R32 were optioned with 25's in some models.

You can put any engine in you want providing you engineer it, there are however engine size limits. Something like 4L turbo for an R32 and 6-7L NA

you can go read the relevant ADRs for it, there are also engine swap forms which show what you can do legally.

In QLD you are not allowed any engine mods that require a mod plate. a conversion requires a modplate.

Oh right you were talking in regards to P platers, I thought you were talking generally, my bad.

Yeah I suspect it is something similar in other states as well, anyway getting off topic. :)

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
