G day everyone just thought I would introduce myself and show my current project.

My ride isn't everyone's cuppa and technically isn't a skyline but has the heart of one, always loved the RB engine and my old cars so it was a simple progression.

My current project is a 1955 fj Holden that I am fitting in a RB25det, Greddy inlet manifold, high mount GTX30/76 turbo, aftermarket ecu, 5 speed gear box and a VN crumple door diff

Etc

Aiming for around 400 HP

Currently fitting up the engine etc

Most people like the idea, some don't and when asked why I say why the heck not.

Cheers

Paul

Hi and thanks for the reply

Not as yet still reading through all this info on here, man there is so much info on here I think I'll be here for weeks.

Thanks for the heads up I will have a look for that thread.

I know of a fella here in Perth that has a EH ute with a RB 25det and the thing fly's putting out around 500-550 HP.

The RB25det into a Lj torana was going to be my main project but when my old man passed on I inherited his FJ which he has had for 40 years, so now I'm boosting the old fJ now.

Got approval from Dep of transport for the conversion now just need a combination of time and money.

Now for some more reading and to search for that torana thread.

Cheers

Paul

Ah yes the LX hatch build

That's an awesome build and he has great fabrication skills and being 4x4 is just plain awesome, should handle great.

Looking forward to seeing this car on the road

Thank you for the link, will start a build thread when I get along a bit more with the project

Cheers

Paul

    • Of course you can. That was a waste. Straight down one oil drain gallery and out the sump hole. Could at least have run the engine a little (obviously with at least minimum oil level on the stick).
    • Oh really? Maybe I'm being silly. I'll get some more shots. I had it higher but found that it went too high after a drive, I never knew this but exhausts can move around a bit when hot (makes sense, just never knew) and when it was higher it would make nice cooking plastic smells. That said, I could put some heat tape on a'la 90's R33 exhausts     Ha, I've spent a lot of my life in castle hill waiting for cars to be done. I think I'd prefer something closer but thanks D. 
    • @Duncan Yes, changed filter every time. I don't have the service manual for the car yet (Car was imported and they removed everything when importing). I've been using the oil change threads in the forum as reference.   @Milkmun The second oil change was after ~4 months after the first months and I wasn't sure about reusing engine oil that was opened. The third oil change happened within 3 weeks of the second oil change and I used the previous leftover oil to just "clean up" the system. (Poured it through while the sump plug was open")
    • I left the ceramic coating off this bit, hopefully it just comes off after a few drives.   The gap between the spokes is too tight for anything on a stick, its only marginally bigger than my finger. I have to use a brush to get in there and its a big reason why I thought I'd try the coating.   Absolutely will do. I have EBC Blue Stuff pads to put on the front which will make them a bit dirtier. I'm hoping a pressure wash will just get most off. The shine is different to most, its very thin but seems very well 'attached' so hopefully it lasts.
