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.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
