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

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
