all i can say is i admire your patience!! that is a sweet shopping list! i don't think i would've waited for an "all at once" install to fit the wanky parts though :)

though I've only had my skyline for about 2 months, i prefer working on it progressively, building it up really and doing as much of it myself as possible. i don't think i would get much satisfaction form doing it that way. though that's not meant as an insult or anything - if i could afford a ferrari (i.e. a mean mofo of a machine straight out of the box!) i would!

though i suppose after a little while I would be looking around for ways to mod it :D

all in all, i, like most other people will be glad to see some impressive dyno results after its all done (did you do a "before" dyno run by the way to see just how big the improvement is?)

Nice spec list, should be a quick R33 for sure.

What kind of power are you aiming for? It should put down some serious numbers!

Good luck and looking forward to seeing ur results.

thanks for the support..... looking for 270-290 kw atw with out nos and god only knows with nos....

:)

Thats an impressive list of uprgrades.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of the completed work and the dyno sheets.

Good luck. Hope all goes well for ya :)

thanks... i will post the dyno result the day i get it.

thanks again its been a long road.

Ill give you a greeting...

should have done all that to a 26 and judging by your response attitude to some of the respected members around here i would say not many care about your cut and pasting ...

sorry happy greeter but i lost you at the end of your sentence................ :)

Thats an expensive parts list :(

You probably could have saved yourself a lot of money as some stuff isnt needed.

But you can spend your money how you want.

Good luck with it

thanks,i only have one chance before my wife & i have a baby so i just did my own thing and spent my money happily and bought what ever i wanted with no regrets and i guess thats what matters .I hunted the world to get the best prices and saved lots and lots.

thanks :)

heres some dyno sheets for all to see

Why do you have dyno sheets showing progress? I must have read wrong earlier, i thought your car was pretty much stock and you were getting ALL those mods put on at once? :)

hi never said it was stock i was showing all the mods that the car will have in three weeks.....thanks

if you look at my first picture you will see some parts.

second picture rims

third custom air box,bov,fmic piping,maybe my yellow nismo injectors ,Radiator air guide

so why didn't you say so to start with? :)

....i have 2 or 3 dyno results already.would you like me to post them.

i'm pretty sure that's what i asked

dude, i'm a full on newbie, so i'm not hanging sh!t on you. your dyno sheets look good and I'm sure you'll see some significant gains with all that stuff. you're just going about it in a different way to most people (which is FINE of course) and you're not going to be able to attribute power gains to specific mods (which is half the fun for most people).

so if you're gonna post up a shopping list like that just to 'show' people, don't get upset when you get responses like you have.

peace out :D

thanks. ive always done my own thing when it comes to cars eg:putting coil overs in cars 9 years ago when people would say what for!! or importing body kits from the states,it makes me happy so i do it that's whats fun for me ,ive been playing with cars for 16 years so after a while you want to get from point A in a project to B as quick as possible just to enjoy it sooner and pay less labor costs

posting stuff is new and fun for now ill learn't long ago that people always think they could do things better ,well thats easy to say for people on forums when words are all they have and actions are limeted to finance for one reason or another. when you have done a couple of cars you will always meet a gunner or a shouder or a coulder a woulder or even better someone that says iv got a mate who's done.........................and thats what you should of done.

BUT AS I SAY DO IT YOUR WAY..... :)

so thanks for your input..... :)

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
