With petrol being around 3 bucks a litre within th e next 5-10 years, Ill be driving a nice Corolla and probably be too busy paying off my first property as well as hopefully investing in the second investment property... once that is going well, I wouldn't mind driving an R35 GTR on weekends, that is only if I can pay cash for it though.

I had my last car (VL Commodore) for 11 years and I hope to have my R33 for a long time. What will your ride be in 5 - 10 years time ? Will it be your current Skyline with heavy mods and running 11s or will you upgrade to a R34 GTR (if you dont already have one) or will it be something completely different ?

R34 GT-T Turbo Manual.

5-10 years down the track:

- Bayside Blue..

- 6 speed 350Z box conversion with 3.5/3.6 final drive for my highway driving.

-GTR front end conversion with TS style GTR front bar, GTR mid mounted rear spoiler.

- Rear diffuser, pumped/flared/rolled rear guards to fit fatter rubber.

- Fully rebuilt and strengthened RB25 with forged components and equipped with a crack and pressure tested 2.8/3.0 ltr bottom end with full head work , ported and polished, acid dipped, the works.

- Twin turbo kit, intercooler, oil cooler, fuel cooler, radiator, electronic water pump, N1/AM oil pump, Tomei oil flow restrictor, dry sump, 750cc injectors, fuel rail, twin fuel pumps, front facing plenum, fuel rail, pon cams (retained VCT), Haltech e11v2 and a full Kakimoto 3.5 inch cat back exhaust with HKS dump/fronts (for HKS turbos).

- Kitted interior, BNR34 GTR MFD, NISMO 320kph speedo & tacho, Nismo racing wheel, Nismo carpets & bride racing/ergo seats with harnesses and door trim.

- Tein Superstreet coilovers, upper & lower control arms, camber/castor kits, traction rods, front/rear anti-roll bars and sway bars.

320 rwkw 4 door fury!!!

I've already got coilpacks and Apexi PFC... IT HAS STARTED...

I'll just swap for a Haltech down the track... :)

In 10 years time 80% of all SAU will be driving Echos, Corollas and Prius'... the rest will have enough money to afford petrol to drive their R35 GTR.

Wake up people, the age of car is finished. Petrol will be around 2 bucks at the start of next year. Vpower and BP Ultimate is around $1.70 already.

Its only the matter of time before the government will start charging extra for those driving turbo and v8 cars and 4 wheel drives.

In UK they already pay three times more to keep fuel guzzling cars.

newer open wheeler + bigger house + billions of dollars due to my success @ selling my website to google / microsoft / any big $$$ conglomerate who want to purchase my idea and driving / jet setting / doing what ever the f... I like... hmmm.. then of coarse after all this... there is only 1 pursuit left..... world domination!!!

binky...binky and the brain brain brain.

Ah well, let the everyone dream :) Its a sad reality when you put it like that. I want my big block V8, but to be able to afford to do one properly it would be a good 5-10 years down the track based on the way the world is now, nevermind when petrol's $3/litre and you have to spend god knows how much just for your first house!

Lets pray they find a stash somewhere :D

Speaking of a stash..

Spoke to a mates dad who works in the offshore oil industry..

Apparently a conglomerate of firms will be drilling into an oil reserve near the Falkland Islands, cautious estimates are around 60 billion barrels of oil... Nice change to the deserts of Saudi, Iraq and Iran, or even Venezuela for that matter... He also reckons that oil could be back to 90 odd dollars a barrel if the Falklands supply starts hitting refineries by Jan 09....

It won't change a thing... sadly... but with all the pollution from our cars, I am glad that very soon all petrol cars will be history... bring on the electrics.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
