Well ..... mine was my mates WRX impressa evoII.... scared the shit outa me ....hehe after that all i caould vision was a turbo import .. so i got me a nice 97 180sx white with yellow interior .....but got hit up the ass at 100klm pu tme in hospital then after all that i bought another 180 wich i own still and love it ....!

first time tasting the sweet motion of boost was in my mates r33 gtr i was 15 at the time and he was a 40yr older.. I wonder who is to blame for my passion of the skyline. but the car was to expensive to buy, after some research in came some of the more budgetable skylines... :D gts25t and so on.. first time actually driving on boost.. VL turbo... nothing better then driving wit your heart pounding...

  • 3 weeks later...

My VERY first taste of boost was in my dads porsche... however i was WAY too young to remember it lol and because i came he had to sell it... typical.

The first time i had ever ridden in and driven a Turbo car was when i was 16yo and my dad had a Twin Turbo Mitsi GTO which was modified. OMG i instantly fell in love and became a bost junky.... until i realsed cars in australia to this caliber were still selling for 40k+ (born and raised in NZ, his car sold for 17k).

It was the car i learnt to drive in while in NZ on holiday and it had a porsche gearbox in it which was ultra smooth and short... awesome car.

I lost my virginity to a turbo silvia on 18psi grin ear to ear.

First drive was R33 GTS-T and since then have been re born that's why I'm clawing at the walls for the next 3 months till I can get mine. I'm having with drawl symptoms....... come on mate just give us another shoot of boost just a little for the road? :drooling: :nowigetit :nowigetit :boinkcar:

Mine was about 2 years ago when I was looking to import my first Skyline. My dad and I met up with the importer who was a friend of my dads. We met him at a servo on his way home and he threw us the keys to the R33 GTR V-Spec sumthing he was driving. He had just picked it up fromthe docks and it still had some type of semi slicks on it and from my memory (I knew jack all then) it had aftermarket turbs, pods, brakes etc etc. This thing was so fast is scared both me and my dad :D Never looked back since and still by far the quickest car I've driven.

had to be a skyline.... 1979 4 door something (not up with the model numbers from back then) has an L28-ET conversion, which is largely a custom build me thinks...runs ~ 22psi and OMG... zoom zoom bloody zoom zoom... scary stuff - specially with 17yr old driver - carazy man !! :headspin:

Currently ANY 32 turbo is in my sights... NA skylines nice, but turbo = even better !!

    • 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
