why not get a manual magna or vrx, LOL. they will get you into the 130kw at the wheels range with just exhaust, and will run mid to high 14 second 1/4's. only downside is that they don't really suit boy racers cause they aren't a fully sick skyline and are fwd. they don't torque steer much at all, are cheap to insure and best of all they don't really attract the boys in blue or idiots wanting to race you.

I second that, I had a 3rd gen Magna as my first car. 3L v6 manual. With a full cat back system it sounded qutie nice, and with decent shocks and springs it could take corners OK as well. Plus FWD made it almost idiot proof to drive....I say almost because it was written off by my idiot mate one night hehe.

After that I got my GTS-T.

One thing I realised when I got the skyline was how pointless modding NA is. Its expensive for such little gains. Sure modding turbo's isn't cheap but at least you get some real gains from it. I advise keeping the car until your off your P's, all the while saving for a GTR.

Unless you put stupidly big wheels, shopping trolley wings and ralliart stickers on it... like I've seen on some Magnas lol

Lol the only reason i want a skyline is because ive always wanted one since i was little. Not because of stupid influences like the Fast and the furious but because my dad had one when i lived with him in Japan when i was 5 it just looked and sounded so cool and since then ive always wanted one. And if people want to race me they can do what they want coz i can just ignore them :P

im still contemplating what to do with my NA when I'm off P's.

Depending on how much it'll cost (or whether I'm sick of the R34 by then and get a 350z or something instead), I'll go the rb25de+t option.

Other option is dirty big v8 :P

but in regards to trying to make big power out of the NA, without resorting to forced induction = works out to be a waste of $$.

R34 as in GTR? or GTT? lol Z33 would be good as but getting good power will need a fair amount of money.

not V8 lol unless its the 3UZ-FE

but i agree with you big power with NA is hard

i rekon the simplest rule-of-thumb is:

three words, FAST RELIABLE CHEAP, choose two because you'll neva get all three.

also consider what you want to do with the car REALISTICALLY. power doesnt have to be the focus for performace. any car can speed and any driver can loose their licence (i stupidly did). if your keping a car on the streets there isn't any real need for mods other than bolt-on's. the best mods you could do with any car is the handling. not just coilovers but sway-bars, bushes, linkages and geometry. add to that a decent set of treads and your going to need your brakes more than your accelerator. if i had words of wisdom they would be: read, read & read... the more reading you do, the more you learn. get dirty with mates under their cars and drive their cars to compare & learn all you can . then make your own evaluations as per what you liked most. not one car is ever the same.

Lower centre of gravity due to the block being shorter.

You can diss pushrods all you like, but power is power and the GM LS engines can make a buttload of it.

They fail especially the older generation LS engines, they are about as technological as a dinosaur. Let's get excited over making big power from a 1,000,000 litre v8!

VH45DE and 1UZFE > LS crap from the same era

LOL

As far as im concerned if pushrods are good enough for 6sec NA drag cars....well yeah

Show me a 6 sec NA LS1, LS2 or even LS3

      Rusty roof repair

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Hot tip, stop picking at shit. Live in bliss instead   From my recent experience in rust repairs, white it may seem to not go much further back, you'll still need to cut back a bit further.  From what I can see there, the outer skin, and the inner is rusted too. From what I can see you've got the inner one which is all structural, and window likely affixes too.   If tag Murray Calavera here, but my phone won't let me tag him, he'd probably be able to give the best advise.   I do know, welding roof panels is a right pain in the bollocks! Very heavy to heat distort the roof and warp it all.

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      r34 Skyline 25 Gt four GTR conversion (ENR34)

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
