What is not "kept stock" with this fine vehicle?

ps - I know this looks like a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt. But that's only because it is a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt.

Needs more dirt/mud

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

actually at the time it was. I purchased mine for less than $20,000 back in 2003 and had genuine 55,000km on it for an almost stock late 94 model R32. Subsequent to that, its been (and still is) a very bad economic decision. Having said that, I love my car and will treasure it for as long as I can until that spark is extinguished within me.

Also I have yet to see anyone materialise any significant ROI from such motor vehicles (unless ex group A car or alike) hence - unless a very rare collectible, you will always realise a loss on motor vehicles.

Fair enough, the next piece of hassle saving advice is dont turbo the N/A engine. Bin it and buy a Turbo engine, less hassle and its the correct compression ratio.

As chants has informed me the gt-v it a turbo engine minus the turbo so all compression ad internals are turbo parts

Alright well I'm gonna put this out there. Whoever wants parts at trade price pm me and we will talk ;)

Offer to sauqld members only and I might not be able to get all parts

I'm hearing varying opinions on this. I've always been against turboing an NA but it seems that a number of people are having a lot of luck with the RB25DE+T. My thoughts are, we need to buy a manifold and turbo anyway. Buy it attach it, it engine goes boom, buy new motor or bottom end as required and move on. If it doesn't go boom, happy days.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

sounds like good deal *russian accent*

Definitely. it's going to be a daily so don't want the attention if a high mount.

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

Oh, mate is doing a track car so legalities doesn't worry him.

Is high mount legal?

No idea about QLD but not legal in VIC unless it comes from factory (think late model N12 Pulsar ET).

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
