From a "fast car" point of view, like a couple have said before, if you could get the AWD to work with a built LS1/LS2 and then twin turboed the engine, damn what a weapon that would be!! Lighter engine, better weight distribution, and being able to make 400-500rwkw with bugger all lag. I doubt many RB26's could keep up with it, regardless of how much power they had.

But yeah, i still personally wouldn't do it......................... But i think some one should :P

anyone who puts a v8 in a gtr needs to be shot

i voted V8

but i also agree with ^

confusing u much

the poll was putting a GTR up agents a R33 V8

nobody will be V8ing a GTR they will do it to a model of skyline that there are more of like R33 GTS

it is like when i see R34 Vspec nur's for sale and the ppl have changed turbos, changed rims, and done body work

this real pises me of big time if u are going to do that to a skyline do it to a base model not one that they only made 750 of

dont quote me on that number plz

o and thx every body to contributing the the poll and i hope that more ppl can add to it

so you'd be thinking of say a buick 3.8 finding its way into an R32 V-Spec then Terry? :)

There's a Soarer getting around here which sounds just like my VN actually, been meaning to wave the guy down and ask if it is in fact the original 4 litre!

If i had a choice of having an N/A LS1 or a RB26 in mine (assuming you could get AWD to work with the V8) I'd go LS1, purely on cheaper parts and maintenence.

What is/was the go with those? were they ever a full production car?

Terry, there's several Jag's here which have had the original V12 ripped out in favour of a 351 or a Chev - less reliability issues apparently lol.

The Chev was much more reliable and parts were cheap.

The Jag was notorius for oil seals, head, rings issues etc lol. esp till late 80s

I think it would be a big improvement! :D

mind you, all the Ferarri's I've heard going sound like a sewing machine or electric whippersnipper...

I wonder how that HR31 with the VH41 (I think) nissan V8 would go vs a GTR!

here's some youtube links lol, what kiwi bogans...

oh and another, though its not of a skyline, its still a nissan v8 lol http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ8Rn0elWrQ&...feature=related

Oh I thought the reliability problems were throughout the whole car!

I wonder if a lambo or ferarri motor could potentially fit into a Skyline...

Yes that's true!

Jaguar went into a phase of outsourcing other obscure companies to make parts of a famous marque. So door handles broke into pieces, leather cracked terminally etc.

Enough said - so sad.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
