Buddy. I'm sure you can find a million threads like this, and they all reach the same 2 points. Us who have been round a little while say to leave that car the fk alone. It's a money pit. You are far better off leavening it stock as, selling it and buying a turbo model when off your p plates.

The other bunch are head strong, but shit loads of parts, become financially stressed, but still have a NA pos at the end of the day.

So unless your going to tell me that your building an awesome NA Racecar, with high comp motor, ITB etc, just leave the thing alone, wait it out, and buy a turbo when you're off the plates.

haha ease up on the guy, he said he was new to the forum =p

Anyways man, as everyone else stated there really is no point. Unless you end up finding parts for dirt cheap, and by dirt cheap i mean exhaust systems for 70 bucks, i wouldnt bother spending money on it. N/a skylines are as fast as its gonna get without spending 2k on 5hp mods. Only option would be to rice it up, coliovers, slotted brakes, big ass 18s rays, sticky tyres. Which would be a huge waste of money. Being an ex N/a skyline owner i know the feeling of wanting to mod your car with the dream of being the fastest n/a(exaggeration), but it doesnt really turn out that way. keep it stock man and enjoy the car, save up and buy a turbo in the future. Look at it this way, 2k spent on a n/a, you get 10-15hp max, on the other hand a 770 dollar custom ecu tune (98 octane fuel) on my stock evo alone gets me 40AWKW gain.

    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch
