Interesting Skyline Market Price Analysis
SKYMAGGOT replied to Tobz's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Yeah it'll flatten out to somewhere around where people can afford or are willing to pay that price, 50k isn't bad. Any regrets? What did you replace it with? -
Interesting Skyline Market Price Analysis
SKYMAGGOT replied to Tobz's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Any recent comments on values & guesses at future values? With the theft, cost of insurance & parts etc it's getting pretty tempting to move on. In NZ a half decent manual turbo rwd car usually sells between 30-40k, they can range up to 70 80k but not really selling at those prices. -
Diff ratio with CD box
SKYMAGGOT replied to SKYMAGGOT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yeah slightly less top speed in 6th at .794 vs the .759 for the 5 speed, looks like give & take, might be good at some points & crap at others lol, yeah longer 1st & shorter middles like a lot of bikes do it be good No hugs for the cd at this point -
Diff ratio with CD box

Did seem like you'd be going through gears a lot but rolls start at 40km so would have more revs on & around 80km third gear would be better with more revs on, may end up slower for drags with an extra shift though -
Diff ratio with CD box
SKYMAGGOT replied to SKYMAGGOT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
Yeah didn't seem ideal looking at the rough calculations but thought someone may have tried it, have a lsd I'd rather not swap centres as was a bit hard to set it up last time -
Diff ratio with CD box
SKYMAGGOT replied to SKYMAGGOT's topic in Suspension, braking, tyres and drivetrain
People have used lower ratio's with a cd, there's someone on here with a 4.3 but is yet to run it. Be a trade off but would possibly make third gear more useable at lower speeds -
Looking to swap in a cd009, with the current diff the speed in gears will be lower than with the 5 speed, not sure whether the car would accelerate faster with that setup. This is roughly what the gear speeds would be, anyone run a cd with a 4.3 diff? Running a 25 around 400kw.

Doesn't seem too likely if you break a ringland it goes through the turbo? Does happen but rough guess at the odds of it happening?

This is the problem with these cars now, I know a few people that did get paid out but not what the car was worth so after high premiums & high excess it's a losing situation. I could only get an insured value of 35k but payout is on market value or whichever is less so I'm sure they'll fudge the piss out of if anything happens, meanwhile they'll take the premiums & 3.5k excess

What's it like in OZ for the old RB cars getting stolen? Getting stolen & high insurance costs is pretty bad in NZ

R32 manual box reverse light wiring.
SKYMAGGOT replied to Rb25orange's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Been a while but the switch closer to the bellhousing is reverse -
2GRFSE can sound not bad for a v6 with the right exhaust

Are RBs worth building reliability wise
SKYMAGGOT replied to Blakeo's topic in R Series (R30, R31, R32, R33, R34)
Cheers, I was looking at the Kelford 262 9.3 or usual poncams but don't know enough about ramp rates, overlap etc & seems to be not much posted about results for the Kelfords -

Which cams you using? -
Thanks, will leave it and see what happens later

Looking for opinions from people that have done 2530s. Would you do the 30 if the 25 is still running well? (25 neo around 350kw)
-
Seems pointless to change them while the car is running ok & isn't getting any other work, was just interested if anyone had or expected issues with them

Do Nismo 740cc injectors become a problem with E50?

Greddy T67 25G 10Cm Power Figures Anyone?
SKYMAGGOT replied to Michael's R33's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Is there quite a few Kando T67s that have failed at around 23psi on a 25? -
Thanks Johnny, I'll be fitting them at the dyno so didn't want to have to make any spacers or anything to fit.
-
BOLT ON INJECTOR & RAIL KIT Anyone know of a top feed injector & rail kit that bolts straight onto a RB25 Greddy plenum without playing with spacing etc?

NZ STREET CARS RUNNING E85 Are many street cars in NZ running E85 or E85 mix? Wondering if the limited availability & cost will be too much hassle & end up back on 98 anyway.
