As the title says, what car would you have if you had your 20 - $25,000 back that you bought your nissan skyline or other nissan turbo for, what would you get now? (if skylines where out of the question)

Just wondering what all the die hard skyline fans would get if they couldnt get a skyline / or now that you have had a skyline, you might be unimpressed with it or "over it" what would you get?

I have had 3 skylines now and iam starting to think iam all skyline'ed out. Looking for other options.

I'm stuck under these P plater laws which pretty much prevent me from driving a turbo skyline and I've chosen to drive a KE70 corolla.

If I wasn't stuck under any turbo rule (and had money), I would definitely be driving a MKIV Supra.

yer seen a few mx5s that look nice cheap to! I am thinkin somethign european could be nice but if i go more luxo and get an automatic i would get really bored though. The supra tt would be nice but could be a handful.

well if i had NEVER had a skyline, i probably would have gone down the supra path and would be driving a late model TT supra

but i drive a V35 now, saying i had not gotten this, i was also looking at older merc CLK320's and maybe a an older BMW 330ci

either way i would not be as happy with my choice of car as i am with the V35!

Mx5's are known to be a girl-ish car, but they can look tough...

:P

would love an ae86 as well. I like the mx5 for the weight and the older rwd ones seen a few with 13b turbos in and at lik 990kgs they fly haha.

    • A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

    • I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.   
    • First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
