"Skylines are a supurb car to drive for performance and handling, however there are quicker cars that go in a straight line, but they are one of the toughest competitors around a track."

Not saying obveously you can make them go faster in a straight line, but it takes mods and money to do so... stuff that at the moment I imagine arent flying at you(im a p plater too)...

straightline performance could be had with a RB30 conversion and a bit of head work and internals. fuel systems etc, but yeah. 2.5L isnt really the best size for getting much torque out of.

il admit, a friends EB falcon beat me in a drag, mind you it had a bit of work done to it (cams, MPFI converted) but 4.0L really does own 2.5L for torque and shear power, its just physics. however the other part of that story is that round the twisty roads, she couldnt keep up :P. so skylines really do have great weight distribution compared to the urban boats that are the commondores and falcoons.

mate, if you read the thread and didn't understand it then i suggest you go searching around google and build your knowledge on cars and the terminology.

most of the stuff here has been repeated and is fairly basic. it sounds like you are lacking the fundamentals so try sites like "how stuff works" etc.

if you want straight line speed you shoul of bought a supra.

Its quite hard to extract decent power out of ye old 25DE.

But if you are hell bent on it. Go through the list I gave you. Its the cheapest and easiest way of getting a little more power out of the engine.

An Apexi SAFC is simply an air fuel ratio computer which you can tune and adjust air and fuel ratios. They can be had for $200 odd. And installed and tuned for a similar price.

So in total your looking at:

$600 cams (new)

$300 cam gears (new)

$200 SAFC (second hand)

$400 Lightened flywheel (new)

You already have an exhaust - is it a full exhaust.

CAI

Thats a rough price guide. You will have to include labour (if you cant do the work yourself)

Im simply answering your question.

Great thanks, and yeah i have a full exhaust. Apparently just having a full exhaust is illegal for me yet i've been pulled up by the cops and they haven't said anything about it (and they did look at the engine etc). I think cops mainly only look for turbo's in P plated car and don't care too much about any other parts.

Your lucky.. some people have been bent over and rammed like no tomorow by the popo ..

    • So you can then buy a more expensive, less reliable, more boring and slower replacement that's harder to work on and you have no knowledge of?
    • Will take much better photos when the time comes, I still want to do a sub 1m50s on street tyres at SMSP (just because). Then will slap on proper tyres and see if the car can get down to 1m40~45s range. If it goes sun 1m40s without aero, then wow.. but I don't expect the shit box to go that fast.
    • I have the OS Giken R3C with the GM 26 spline input shaft in my 32(Rb32 with only around 750hp atw) and its a pig to drive. Its actually very forgiving when its cold when when its warmed up, it chirps the tires even when trying to take off slowly. Mind you though, part of this has to do with my clutch master(Non-OEM) so the travel on the rod is shorter. How did you get 1130hp at 85% @e50?! Are you running a stroker? If so, I would recommend the R3C purely because it handles the abuse.
    • First time trying out a regularity format at the Peter Hall Memorial 6hr. It was an interesting experience with everyone on our team being brand new to the format. Safe to say reading and understanding the rules and scoring system would have really helped our team. We finished firmly last thanks to the majority of all laps across the team being penalties. In the words of my teammate Matt “Turns out we are both too quick and illiterate.” Another car had entered before us and already secured number 12 so i needed to clearly cross them out to avoid confusion for any other blue calsonic livery'd r32s at the event. The team consisted of an R32, an AE86, a supercharged V35, and a Kia CEED GT bought at salvage. I ensured we all had matching "Peer Pressure Racing" banners and overalls. This is the longest session of back to back hot laps the car has ever done (20mins no cool downs on a hot day).  It was a true test of the cooling /oil control mods and they certainly made big difference! Enjoy watching me lose 14 concurrent points for the team:  Unfortunately I only managed 45mins of track time over 3 sessions (20min, 20min, 5min) out of my allotted 90mins before my gearbox let go. Something related to shifter fork resulting in 3rd being neutral quickly followed by all gears neutral, then it being lock in two gears at once and unable to move. Optimistically there were no bad noises. But I am yet to pull box out and diagnose. Fortunately i was also to snag a tow home while I slapped a permit on the Kiaa which came on a trailer
    • Haha thanks for reply man Trying luck and Hoping to find one from all the sources, it's hard to find one as Nissan stopped production on sunroof glass panels
