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!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
