Nearly anything is possible, if you have the money. However, the amount of money you'd need to do this, you won't earn in 2 years.

In short; Buy a GTR when off your provisional license.

No GTR Skyline ever came as a 2WD/RWD car. Part of why they're a lot more expensive then their GTS-T/GT-T counterparts.

thanks,

that's all I needed to know, it just occurred to me that it might be cheaper but clearly not.

thanks for taking the time to reply mate as clearly never been into it all too much although have worked in an industrial engineer shop since 15 so I'm not hopeless just with exact models and makes can be convertered on a specific skyline so I figured here would be a place to ask. forgive me for thinking that.

Just read, read, read. You'll learn all you need to know from this website. Chances are that if anyone has ever thought of a question, you'll be able to search and find the answer here.

Nothing against you personally, but a lot of people will see the question you asked as the cardinal sin of skyline ownership. Bright side is that your knowledge base will only improve from here.

Incorrect, see C10 and C110 Skyilne GT-Rs from the 1969 - 1973 :P

OP, as suggested, read read read, and read some more. The more information you have the more informed choices you will make.

Lucky for you that your first car is an R34. It will teach you car control and how vehicle reacts to driver inputs and conditions (skid pan and track days). Don't worry about the non-turbo aspect, you have plenty of power for a p-plater.

I still have my first car, my R31 Skyline, which is supposed to be my daily. Your N/A R34 will be a good daily, the NEO6 is pretty economical. You can buy a GT-R later and have your R34 as a run around :).

Not worth it. If you want more power and keep the shell and just drop a 25NEODET into it. Apart from that it isn't worth the cash to through a GTR widebody and other mods. If you want a twin turbo but can't afford a 34 GTR when off P's just get a 33 or even a 32.

      Are you an oil nerd?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      You're not wrong but 5W30 at 100C is like 10 cSt vs 25 cSt for 10W60. If we think in terms of viscosity margin 10W60 will probably still be ok at 130C but 5W30 is probably too little. It's absolutely shocking how hot the oil gets in something like a stock FL5 from only ~3 minutes of use on the Nordschleife. I would not risk taking a car like that to anything remotely intense without a ton of work done for cooling. Heat shielding on the manifold/turbo/downpipe, oil coolers, etc.

      I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet.

      Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me.
