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.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
