Yeah not too sure if it an April fools or not - I hope not. Given the whispering I have heard in the last year about a new Silva and the possibility of it being hybrid, I am assuming the article is legit. Still, you never know on a day like today :)

Hybrid, built for homos

Imagine a car having the power like yours does now (but with a decent engine like the VQ37) with a little blower on it making an easy 280rwkw, plus a 50kw electric motor on each rear wheel = 380rwkw. Fun.

If hybrid isn't a joke*, I have no interest at all.

If full on EV actually occurs, I will personally take a shit on every one I see.

*yes, I'm aware that hybrid is a joke by definition.

That sounds terrible.... Electric motor = no soul. I didn't modify my car for fuel economy that's for sure. Eco hybrid cars are just another step the fun police are using in the war against us hoons

370Z, ITB's, long tubes, no cats, no mufflers, no bullshit. Give no f**ks that some hipster flamin mongrel in a hybrid equivalent next to me has more anything, because he would not be having anywhere near as much fun as me.

I have a big roll of carbon wrap in my shed that you can have some of for cheap. It is the cheaper variety that requires a fair bit of effort/stuffing around to wrap, but the price is right :)

    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
    • Change the subframe bushes, transforms the car.
    • For something a little more serious, Davinci Resolve is about the best there is for free video editors. No expiration dates or watermarks, completely free.
    • Well, it's taken me until the last week of 2024 to actually do something on the Skyline but I consider it a good head start to 2025's efforts! I managed to justify (to myself anyway...) my purchase of the lift table. It made taking the rear subframe out a lot easier than it would have been without anyway! Everything is out and stripped down ready for a clean then powdercoating.  She's pretty grubby under there but pretty good condition for a 38 year old Japanese tin bucket. 12 years of zero street time have obviously helped that... I need to decide which of the factory suspension arms I will keep and replace so I only get what I'm keeping powdercoated.  Baby steps but it's a start!
