a V8 is perfect for street :)

I've driven a few V8s and absolutely love the power/flat torque.. although the noise sounds abit shit.. (minus euro V8s, they somehow sound farking tits)

This is perfect for street!

(and you can even get grip in auto's 1st! - which is somewhere between 1st and 2nd)

FWIW, I wrote this car off due to driving entirely off boost, entirely off throttle, making about 3rwkw.

You can drive anything on the street.

It's the driver, not the car people.

Yes I'd like to know the Neo set up too .

I'm not sure if there is a perfect RB25 setup , an RB30 in a lesser state of tune ie same 260 odd RWKW must be real flat and almost V8 like .

Actually thinking about it Mr Mafia always reckoned his power delivery was almost V8 like and his R33 RB25 had a 0.63 GT3076R on it .

A .

After owning and driving many different cars id say every car has its pluses and minuses, i know the rwd skyline isnt the fastest, but its about what makes you happy.

Power level, whatever brings a smile to your face... And you can control the power with your left foot anyways.

Drive what makes you happy, im just under 300kw, would i like more sure, is my skyline a good daily, no. Its just my fun car, it can still scare me and thats what i like.

So 300kw on the street is fine, more would be fine in my fun car, but as a daily i would want easy driving in traffic and eaay to get in and out of, easy to park and not worried to park it anywhere.

Would i like a nice custom built 400kw daily sure, but being a bit meticulous id be always servicing it and worried about the depreciation of high ks...

For a daily get something easy and economical for your budget... Fun car can be any power level and any type of car...

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
