well technically if the "skyline" ie prince skyline didn't come around, DOHC engines wouldn't have been popular in japanese cars.

we'd all be driving around in the descendent of Isuzu Bellett GT-R's (came out 6 months after the first Skyline GT-R)... ie... Gemini's.

It was between a S8 FD RX7 and my GTR, so that makes the answer easy. I have had so many different types of cars not having the GTR to choose from wouldn't have mattered in the grand scheme of things, but the GTR is still my favourite car when it comes to driving regardless. :)

your cefiro wouldn't have an RB20 then... you'd have to do with a CA18i or some shit like that.

Thats based on the assumption that the RB range wouldnt have come along without the skyline. Hell if it wasnt for skylines they might have made a BETTER engine!

Damn it, you skyline people are bring my cefiro down!

lol i own a ceffy too. well the R31 brought the NICS RB engine around, along with the 200ZR Z31... then the ceffy's got an improved version (sorta like an R31 RB20DET with ECCS)... then the R32's got an improved version of the ceffy engine.

the price of right ahnd drive conversion alone! arghhh!

i gota buy the misses a yank tank stang anyways...

meh.. i bought the line for bang for buck.. ie.... the hole braking handling go package that didnt look fugly for my price range!

Im guess most will.. else id prolly be running around in an awd turbo econo box

Nice! i reckon you'd be able to fit an rb motor under that bonet! ;) might be a bit of a squeeze though.

now i think of it i wouldnt mind a series 8 rx7, i love the buzz from the 13b! :P

would probably go a 2JZ instead of an RB in that car, cause they use either 4AGEs or 2ZZ engines... so it would just be easier ;) IF it were to fit... would probably have to lengthen the chassis a bit...

Well I don't have a Skyline, but it would affect me as the RB30 would not exist.

Therefore the best engine ever to go in a Commodore would not exist, and Holden would've got the 3800 and placed it into the VL before the VN.

Oh the humanity. :P

Thank f*** for Nissan.

    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
    • You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height
    • yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
