I'm not a major fan of the colour, but it's good to see more people driving N/A's.

I remember when this forum had a total of like 100 posts or less.. Now she's going strong.

If you end up doing the turb conversion post it up like specs, pics, stories etc.

Hey guys thanks for the comments, colour is a bit out there but like Nismo_god said she does stand out, goes good for an N/A but wanting to do the RB25DET transplant, or a turbo conversion on the high comp motor see how things go..but sure i'll post how i go about it. Trying to collect all the bits and peices for the conversion now

HAme

being different doesn't always mean better...

having said that...

hahaha

wats the point of driving NA skyline

i thought NA skylines were for chix :)

some people like driving skylines but either can't afford the turbo versions or are not allowed to drive em with all the restrictions etc or maybe some just like the car for its style and not the performance. nothing wrong with that :P

personally i'm not a fan of the colour, kit or rims but not everyone shares the same tastes.

but i can still appreciate the effort/time/money gone into the car.

keep it up ;)

not a fan of the colour dood. a darker green, not necessarily dark green but just something that doesnt look like a glow in the dark toy, would have been cool. theres a r32 around my way with a paintjob the colour of grass. looks the shit, esp when clean

Cheers guys and meh, critisism doesn't bother me, i want to strap a turbo to her, i love the car for its looks and hungary for performance as well!!

Thanks for the comments guys, Regards Hamish

Have though of all those options dropping a 26tt would be loads of fun but hellish expensive, dropping a 25t into it would definatly be th eway to go, and turbo'n the Na would be difficult but different, but then there could possibly be problems, and superchargin it...well that had not come into my mind but hey worth looking at.

Ultimatly the 26tt would be awsome n i think we'd all love one under the hood. but for now i still weighing up the options..

Thanks guys!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
