P.S. Why are skylines so cheap? How would they do against say a 2002 WRX? or a Camaro Z-28?

Skylines arent that cheap mate...depends what model and what mods/condition

Stock vs stock (r33 vs wrx2002)

would be close, not sure on 1/4 mile times for the wrx

But a R33 GTS-t stock does the quarter in low 14's

And camaros just suck in my opinion lol...

Ah, they're a different hand drive to all the other cars you'll find in America. Dunno if you'd need a special permit or what to drive it, but it would be a little odd. And from what i heard they aren't easy to come by in the US, specially not in LHD (left hand drive) form...

well there are plenty of old-skool mustangs here in oz that are left hand drive. i cant see any reason why they wouldnt allow the opposite in the States, although im sure that you'll need a special permit or something.

there are ways to get it Rhd over there say if was to be of track use only, i think there are some states over there that allow it?? but not if you live in calie, i thing the main problem with the price is no one over there is willing to give over 3 versions of the make/model to be used to crash test. that motorex are the only ones proven to put a registered skyline in your drive way in the USA. if you havent looked at there website then to have a r33 gts-t registered in the USA from this crowd will set you back $80000 US dollars or to get them to do the swap and register is around the $15000 to $20000 us dollar mark. if you have the $$ then Sh*t get one other wise buy a house!!

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By 180 wanabe · Posted

      Think I found another reason to buy the Q50 rather than the skyline import, seems that unless you get the 400r the other models such as the GT miss out on the decent brakes and don't have the flappy paddles on the steering wheel to change gears. Its my day off work today and the Q50 listed @ the dealer in Brisbane that I mentioned in my 1st post looks like it sold as its listed as no longer available... Would have checked it out but can understand why it sold as it was a bargain price.

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
