1971 Skyline, rebuilt to GT-R specs using genuine GT-R components. I reckon she looks pretty hot, even if it is only a replica. It's almost R34 GTR money (wait a few weeks for the R34 to devalue another $20,000 or so and it will be!), but I reckon it's far cooler, far sexier, will hold it's value far better, get more admiration from the right people, less admiration from the wrong people and not attract too many coppers. Yeah, I want one! So, what would you take? This or an R34 GTR?

Do you think it would still look this good in the Australian outback? It just looks so at home on those mountain roads! It'd also be nice to see a little more of the interior...

I'd take a real KPGC10 over an R34 GTR anyday. That said I'd rather buy a GT-X and retrofit it with newage skyline gear.

When we came across this one in the office we ooh'd and aaaah'd for a while, and agreed that we'd all love to see it in our garages. Its about as good as a GT conversion's gonna get. Genuine KPGC10's cost about the same as an R34 GTR V Spec :D

I just love how there's an R32 and a <edit:S30> in the background in a couple of the pics.

Damn nice car. It's not rebuilt to "GT-R Specs" though, it "just" has the GT-R look. I dare say it has a fair bit more power than an original GT-R :P heh heh

A good price for all the goodies you're getting!! This over an R34 any day of the week thanks.

For people in the know, what exactly does the $7,500 go towards?? I thought there wouldn't be much to do for a 30yr old vehicle in regards to compliance.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Awesome! For me, as cool as an original one is, I'd have no interest in a fragile, irreplaceable and gutless 160hp 2 litre (even if it sounds nice) when I could have a replica with everything else and a thumping 3.1+ L motor.

And yeah I'd probably rather have that and a HR31 GTS-R, instead of an R34 GT-R.

The breakdown goes a lil something like this:

J-Spec Fee: $1000

Shipping: $1800

GST: $4700

THere's no compliance (in Victoria) or import duty necessary on a car that old, which is pretty cool. The large chunk of it goes to the tax man.

P.S. That's an S30 not a Kenmeri.

Damn, you pulled me up on it before I could correct myself... damn you :laugh:

We're goin with oldschool cool as a theme for now, as we've had a fair few requests for good quality restored japanese classics of late (fairlady's, celica's, C10, C110's, etc)... esp from cashed up collectors in the US. If the car is mint they're willing to pay the asking price of japanese sellers.

Ah! Forgot about the taxman....... damn tax man...

Good stuff. The Americans are really lapping this stuff up lately. Still don't know of any authentic GT-R in the U.S.A., but at this rate it won't be long. Be sure to let us know if something special does make its way over there (or here, as unlikely as that is).

P.S. Hyper rev group buy... damnit, no wonder my ones on ebay aren't fetching as much as they should!!! :)

When I started thinking about this I started leaning towards the R34 out of practicallity with being able to afford spare parts and because of the difference in power.

But then I started thinking of that old cartoon 'Speed Racer' and I thought this car would best suit that cartoon so I'm going with this oldskool machine.

That's a strange comparison. Why are you quoting the power figure for a totally standard S20 when the L28-based engine in the car in question is so highly modified? Talk about comparing apples to oranges.

The S20 is hardly "fragile". It is certainly not "irreplaceable" or "gutless" either.

Have you ever driven an S20-engined car?

:P

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
