More Imports

[Zedzilla]

Mkay, I saw a stock silver four door getting round only a few months ago is all. As you don't see many of them in Tas, I thought that might be the one.

Has the 26 been tweeked at all?????

[WHITER33GTS-T]

I use to own the white skyline with gold wheels and carbon bonnent that is now in launny. I'd like the see the dyno sheet for it. It made 242kw at wheels with only 12psi so it could make close to 300 with more boost. The car doesn't get the power to the ground though.

Was bored tonight after a few drinks and did some searching for my car and its previous owners.

Its funny how way back then 300kw was a big deal. lol

For everyone that new this car and the old 25 way back then.. When it finally did die after lots of abuse we pulled the engine down to check it out.

With the setup I bought it with and running haltech E11v2 it made 300rwkw @ 17psi. It stayed like that for a while then the same engine with twin T3/T4 turbos and 1000cc injectors made 399rwkw and was very very laggy. lol

Anyway, the engine stripped down we found it had Tomei pistons, Tomei 256 inlet and 264 Exhaust cams, Tomei springs, metal headgasket and everything else was stock.

So the poor old 25 put up a good fight before it burnt no.6 piston and lost compression. It still drove with a slight gurgle at idle and still smoked the tyres in 3rd gear.

Its had a few big changes since back then, Now has a built 26/30, Garrett T51r, soon to have 1600cc injectors, 175hp nos kit and C4 auto. Will be tuned in a few weeks once I get it all sorted and back together again

look forward to seeing the end result, 26/30 FTW, T51R FTW!!!

Just noticed how old this thread is, lol...I was buying my silvia! lmao

[XRATED]

Ha ha ha ha...

I remember going for a lash in it with Andrew (the origional owner) the day it rolled off the boat. It pushed 240 odd rwkw later that week. It was fast back then.... especially compared to my r31 gts-x coupe!!!

Ahh.. the good old days.

We allways wondered what was under that head....

Yeah funny how times change, I was with Matt when he first took you and you girl friend for a ride in it from the silver dome I remember the look on your face, you loved it as did every one that went for a ride in it at the time, what stood out was the sound of it, the screamer pipe was like nothing else any one had ever heard before and it was dyno’d in Melbourne at Race Pace- Ice with old owner Andrew or the importer did? and now is Matts Mechanic for his GTR and only found out as he was telling him about his old cars lol small world

Sure is a small world. So hows things going with Matts GTR...?

Im just waiting to get parts back now and get the old girl up and running again.

Cant wait to drive it again with a angry tune and a big shot of nos...

I guess I will be testing that out at powercruise or the drags when it opens again...

[RAZOR32]

yeah he still got the GTR, its nearly been 2 years since it was last running lol got a full cage put in it about a year ago, and only just took it to Kuzzie’s a couple of weeks ago to have it put back together just chasing up a couple little parts, it's got a whole new motor and turbo’s and new suspension and 8 pot APracing brakes. Matts hoping to take it to Melbourne in a few weeks to Race Pace to have it tuned and other new bits put on. He still keen to take it up the drags and stuff but it’s now built for tarmac rally's and has entered in Targa Wrest Point and the Rookie Targa next year, I’m going to be navigating for Matt its gunna be awesome fun.

I can’t wait to see your old best at the drags again and in the burn out comp, it will be great to see a import with big power at the drags!

Mine shouldnt be to far away. Need to get the head back and put it back together and give it a tune. Then learn how to steer it again.

[Pokolulu]
