just came through this thread to see if i could find a car i saw yesterday on the road. it was a black ceffie with the plates 'UNL5HD'. i was the guy in the S-class benz checkn your car out, and complaining to my gf that we weren't in my car!!

heres my car, not an import - but its a skyline, and it has 4 doors and a turbo so i guess it qualifies!

thought so but the headlights looked different (hence the gts-r)

i didn't want to say it was an R31 incase a skyline n3rd responded with

"IT'S NOT AN R31 N00B ITS A R30452 GTSXRYEIS WITH HICAS0.5 LOCKFRONT! don't you KNOW ANYTHING!?

DUH!"

:happy::P:(:(:laugh::laugh:

haha...yeh, nah its nothing too exotic. its an oz model 4 door. it is the Ti variant which means its got cruise and power windows, nice seats etc - luxury model, equivalent of a calais at the time i guess :P

i've had it for about 4 years now. specs are basically RB30 which i have turbod using VLT parts. did a manual conversion on it, threw in a HD clutch. did a full respray last year. JIC adjustable coilovers, strut brace, R34 GTt front brakes and discs. headlights are from the import HR31 coupe, yes, and the motorized auto spoiler is also from an import coupe. cooler and boost tap, sees it making 175rwkw on 9psi. just being held back by fuel pump at the minute. plenty more of course, but yeh thats basically it. sort of going for a VIP kind of look, hence the big rims and plenty of chrome detail.

would bring it on an SAU cruise but there is a large number of ppl in this club who seem to forget there were 7 models of skyline before the R32 :P

  • 2 weeks later...

can anyone send me a link that explains all the difference in trim/specs/updates for R34 4-doors. my car has just been EPA'd. i'm thinkin might be time for something more cop friendly :P

    • That's a good point. The rears of the covers themselves have no baffling at all though. Higher up more chance of air for venting the crank case. Lower on the side more likely to be submerged. I might be able to fit them on the sides but with both the sump drain fittings being on the drivers side the passenger one will need to make a U Turn and be nearer the turbo. But it will look neat being not up on top.
    • It won't likely matter where along the cam covers you put the big fittings. I would suggest putting them on the sides if you can, simply because it will reduce the flow up through the baffles and thus reduce the amount of oil that gets put into the foam. It might not matter, but it seems like something to consider as a worthwhile thing to avoid.
    • Well, I have my IM240 results with a cammed LS1... My Nox was 0.11 and my CO g/km was 0.2. Euro4 is 0.08 and 0.1 respectively. I'm gonna say for a stock RB this is actually plausible, BUT in Australia they were complied pre-Euro2, so the limits were: Which as you can see, is way higher. I'd say a stock RB with a new OEM Cat could? actually pass Euro4 for NOX but you'd probably have to do a hell of a lot of testing to prove it, and getting a car emissions tested and carrying a certificate of emissions when/if you get pulled over may be cost prohibitive if it's even allowable to get your car tested and re-classified. You'd have to find out what the UK Govt is using as reference material. It may be non-negotiable.
    • I made a little more progress last night and added some E85 safe fuel tank baffle foam in behind the stock cam cover baffle plate.  It still feels really wrong shoving foam inside the engine but apparently its fine based on it pretty much being the MINES/Hi-Octane RB26 cam baffle kit and the few posts here I have found of people doing it and the lack of posts saying the foam broke down and ruined the motor... Still plan to check it frequently though lol The last step for this round of oil control modifications I plan to make is to add some -12AN fittings to the cam covers and connect them to some (already existing luckily) -12AN fittings on the sump. Basically a sudo head drain/sump breather/pressure equaliser without having to remove the motor and do the one on the rear of the head. My plan is to add them to either the tops or the sides of the cam covers at the back. unless there is a compelling reason to have them at the front on the sides which i have seen a few times though they were all on RB26 cam covers from memory so that may be due to the stock breathers being on the back and the integral baffle being different ?
