  1. Very good specs. Just tidy up the rust (properly) and you will have a great car!
  2. No I would not. How rich are you? With 700+hp you will need a lot more spending - new clutch, gearbox, brakes suspension tyres. Pull the engine apart and see what it needs. You may just need a set of pistons and bearings. Neo has GTR rods and oil pump so if its in good nick will support 300 to 350RWKW without forged parts. In NZ I would be considering an RB30 bottom end for the Neo head but may not be so easy for you. I am sure you could buy quite a nice car for 20,000 pounds but if you want to spend it on your old Skyline and that makes you happy go right ahead - but take the time to pull the engine apart and see exactly what your options are.
  3. Pull the fuel line off the rail and see what happens when you turn the key. Could be blocked filters or as Duncan says pump on the way out (or coils or CAS or lots of things but start with the fuel supply).
  4. Ok if you have all that its a good start. ..so long as it comes with the manifolds, turbo etc. Then you will need an intercooler and a bigger exhaust. At the end it will make the same Kw as the 350DE
  5. E Manage is a very second rate solution. I wasted many dollars on parts and tuners trying piggy back options. You should resign yourself to the fact that you will end up wanting a manual box and a Link computer. If you realise that's where you are going to end up the sensible thing would be to do the manual conversion first. The better solution would be to find a manual S2 instead but that's probably not going to happen as they are pretty rare.
  6. Looks good! Is the intercooler a return flow? Tao probably would have liked to see a big as FMIC but interested to see what you make. I like the 4 dr R34 shape.
  7. Post up the number of your original ecu - someone may be able to tell you if its an auto one. In any case I would use the one that works. You may be able to get it Nistuned later if you start modding.
  8. Try Nissan but you might be out of luck due to age...
  9. That's a pity. I was going to say if you are bored with it fit an RB32/26 and live!
  10. Hi there - post up some pics of your 32 to help decide!!
  11. You'll get a variety of opinions. Mine is that wouldn't be an upgrade!
  12. Wow that sounds so far out! Have you had the car running with this set up at all? Has this been done before?
  13. What kind of BW turbo is it?
  14. I have never driven a Nissan where you could not engage the ABS without excessive force on the pedal. When people say brakes are not good enough they usually mean that with many rapid applications they lose stopping power. If you have to stand on the brakes to pull the car up normally then there is a fault. Sounds like you were just unlucky with your replacement booster. Has this problem existed ever since you disabled ABS? Sure all the brake lines are connected properly? BTW almost any booster should do. e.g. https://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/nissan/brakes/listing-2262431068.htm?rsqid=84e0244abd7f4ea2aea053cf26cb1d59-001
  15. Welcome to the ghetto?
  16. To summarize: get a bigger hammer Soak in CRC Use a separator or bar if you can get purchase to apply effort that would pull the joint out and at the same time hit really hard the piece that it goes through Google how to separate ball joints for video instruction
  17. Repco, suspension shops or take the car to e.g. Joes Mechanical services.
  18. The inability to change one's mind is a character defect. If Nitto have really found engineering solutions to the problems they outlined in the article above then that is a good thing.
  19. Really hard to say as many parts will be second hand so may vary according to your luck. If you can pick up a going RB25DET for $1 500 that could be the way to go. Then you will need a FMIC, figure out a way to tune it (could cost 2k alone) better injectors and fuel pump, the aforementioned rings, bearings and small end bolts, better clutch...assuming no labour except for the tuning you are at $5k at least. Try not to spend any money on non essentials like FF Plenums or aftermarket exhaust manifolds etc
  20. The small fuses are just common fuses. Haven't got an M35 but in C34 they are just behind a little coin holder that pulls out. Check any connections under the front seats.
  21. Welcome! How about a few pics of your Stagea?
  22. RB30/25 will be miles better. You can do it on the "cheap" stock everything except rings, bearings and small end bolts but it will still cost for the twin cam head, ecu and the other bits and pieces.
  23. They don't appear to have an Australian distributor but you could contact them and ask...or see if you can buy direct. https://motordyneengineering.com/contact/
