Hey, i saw a pic of an r33 with ford xr6 headlights and possibly the xr6 bonnet, and in my opinion looks really nice (more like an r34). I was wondering has anyone done this front end convo and is it as difficult as im expecting it to be! (very)

I like it. Not sure why but it just looks diff. forgetting it's skyline/xr6; it looks good if it were a unique model of car. Not keen on 'crossbreeding' usually but i'd buy it if i had endless amounts of cash lol

The exposed piping on the bonnet shits me though.

a mate of mine bought a fibreglass bonnet bulge off the new XR8's/GT's to put on his 67 Mustang, we sat it on the bonnet of his Skyline just to see what it looked like and to our surprise it looked pretty good!

The idea died when we thought about how much shit we'd cop for putting Falcon bits on a Skyline..

the piping isn't fake. there is at least 5 of those 33's getting around melbourne....check out IQ Customs i think the name is...If I recall correctly expect around $10k for the conversion. Not a fan personally....and i've seen that particular one in person..I used to work with the owner...back when it was purple...

      Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car

      100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.

      It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.

      First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
