(OO)SKYLINE(OO)

Previous and current owners thrash the shit out of them. The RB26 is an indestructible / bullet proof engine... With the right type of maintenance and correct way of using the RB26. Just to name a few, the stock front mount intercooler, blow off valve and air box can handle 300+ kW's easy. It is widely known for its strength and extreme power potential and it is not uncommon for 600 hp (447.42 kW's, approx) to be achieved without modification of the engine internals. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RB26DETT#RB26DETT The gearbox was one of the strongest gearboxes to come from a factory, from memory it can handle 500kW's, the clutch is a different story. That is R32 and R33 GTR. The Getrag 6 speed for the R34 GTR is fine for 300+ kW's. Parts will cost more than a non high performance car, although they are widely available. High performance vehicle = No such thing as fuel efficient. Buy a Toyota if you want to save money on fuel. A R34 GTR is between the age from 7 to 10 years old (As production started between 1999 to 2002) and things will need replacing after so long. Brake pads are cheap, I bought a set of R32 GTR Nissan pads for about $120. R34 GTR won't be that much more and you don't have to buy Nissan / Brembo ones, DBA, Bendix etc make pads for GTR's. Brake rotors, if it is just for normal street driving, DBA can match a set for the R34 GTR or go see Brembo. You mean the HICAS? - (High Capacity Actively Controlled Suspension) If your mechanic knows what they are doing, it is not hard to disconnect, if not, just leave it. It is use at high speeds when turning corners, from memory, if you are driving over 80km/h and turn a corner or entering a bend, the rear wheels will turn 1 degree on the opposite direction. Quite a lot of Skyline owners dislike the HICAS. Myself, I have got use to it.

No worries!

Cool thanks!

What the hell man?! Hyundai "GETZ you no where..." (Jokes) Congratulations to you, your wife and on the new cars! You still got the R33 GTR?

Whats the address of the carwash?

I think the sticker with 100,000km on it is to remind you to change your timing belt before, if not at 100,000km's. The green sticker with the 21 on it, from memory it is a Japanese Rego sticker. I will have to get my parents to have a read tonight and translate it.

You tried doing a wheel alignment?

Got any pics of the white Datsun Zed?

Agreed! Who'd buy one?

Full exhaust system / High flow cat. Boost controller, Adjustable cam gears may help.

Looks tasty! I'm in.

Yes a quiet exhaust but with the flow would be best. I am guessing any Japanese brand would be good. Ask scathing as he has a V35, he could suggest what's best.

^^True about the untrained eyes. Some ppl will still think it is just a car. Even without a spoiler, ppl might still think it is a GTS-T. Like my R32 GTR, it does not have the rear spoiler and thought it was a GTS-T.

A full exhaust system + extractors (exhaust manifold) would be a start... High flow panel filter in your air box can help... Lower the ride height for better stability, so fully adjustable coil over suspension. You got a budget? You just want bolt on mods and keep it looking stock?

LOL! Yeah, unless they don't know how to start up a carbie and drive it without power steering, then they better stick to the newer Rolla's.

White R33 looks best, then Silver, then Black.

There is 2 Anchorage Points behind the middle row of seats. I think there is also 2 Anchorage Points on the roof at the rear, but I am not sure if you can use them or depending on the ADR...

Toyota Corolla KE70 AE71 AE86

Happy Birthday Ash!

OMG IT"S A GIRL! EVERYONE POST!

Yeah keep it stock. Just for a peace of mind, stock GTR airbox, BOV and FMIC can handle a decent 300 kW's no probs, so if you are looking at that sort of power, then you should be fine with them.

Dunno, you tell me, stealth... Welcome to SAU and hope to see you at the meets. Any more plans on the R32?

Cool thanks Nice! You filled the guards out well. Get a bit more negative camber at the front and you'd be looking just like Justin Fankhauser R31 Skyline. What's 'sd'? Skyline Downunder?

Hey Ni, A friend of mine just bought an El Grand E50 (I think) with a VQ35DE from Sydney. I can ask him and he should be able to tell me. "Anchorage Points" as in to fit a baby seat...
