You mean you didn't see what i drove on the weekend? 66 Skyline seems to be more of a man's car than most new ones.

Prince Skyline GT-B

No power steer

No NVH

No cornering ability (leaf-spring rear)

No brakes (disc/drum)

No air con

Manual windows

No demister

No f&*kin radio and the list goes on and on and on...

this is all well and good that these cars can go fast in a straight line, but they dont really handle or stop. My mates dad had a BA fairmont ghia and the thing was toyworld quality inside, for a car that cost more than twice the price of mine and be almost 10 years newer it should come out with a slightly better build quality.

Congrats to Nizpro on running a good time, those engines will be able to go WAY faster than that as they are developed. Obviously with twin cams and an extra 1000cc they will be able to smack all those VL tubros going around.

As for all those that are having a shot at the engineering in the car....frankly why should most consumers have to pay a premium for overengineering they will never use.

As far as I'm concerned if you want to double the stock output of the car, you should bloody well expect to have to upgrade driveline, suspension, brakes etc.

    • Definitely do-able haha. I will give it a try if the fuel pump hanger does not solve the issue. Just need to find some quiet time in the area, Malta is like a big city and I live right next to the main hospital so it is very busy during the day. I'll be installing it in about 2 weeks, found a garage that is pretty knowledgeable and has the necessary tools. This garage has worked on multiple builds, even for competitions. They even asked me to stay with, so I should be fine.
    • Just to add, I found the r32 gtr ecu the most forgiving, the r33 one would get the shits. 
    • For what it’s worth I drove my gtr for over a decade with gt-ss as a true daily after I pulled off the -5s, I had it engineered and went with stock ecu etc.  never skipped a beat.    I would only worry if you can’t get good fuel all the time in a tropical paradise
    • I bought an engine from a friend of a friend many years ago, it was sold to me as a RB25det Neo.    recently I started pulling it apart and noticed that the intake manifold was pretty different from others that I had seen on RB engines so did a bit of research and found that it was a non turbo manifold. So I’m sceptical now that it is a NEO DET and just thinking it’s a NEO DE (it does have a turbo strapped to it currently).    can you identify the engine model from the numbers on the block?
    • Yeah you can. Cable tie the gauge to a windscreen wiper, or run it into the car and hold it with one hand, or have the neighbour's kid run alongside and tell you what it says.
