my honest advice?

buy a NORMAL NON TURBO AUTO bucket of bozz first car

drive it till the doors fall off and you get off your p's

then you can drive, are allowed to drive normal cars and a bit smarter with looking after cars (i didnt look after my first car)

then you could probably go staright to a GTR 33 by that time and youll have a real car first off

imho dont bother with a nice turbo or engine swapping etc - takes time, $$$ and effort etc

doesnt have to be a bucket of bozz

but forget about all this engine swaps etc

my first car was an auto vl n/a bozz

it was in ok condition ,everything worked, and it drove fine

i never looked after it, never serviced, never did anything

very reliable otherwise, it had more oil in the engine bay when i sold it, then it did in the engine

then i sold it for 2k and got my r33 gtst

kids these days want the best, latest, fastest, bestest car EVER on their P's

and it has to turbocharged, it has to be blah blah

just buy a normal car

you dont have to keep up with the other knobs "cos they do"

Do what I did, drive a N/A 33 manual coupe for 3 years, get off Ps sell it and buy a GTR (couldn't get a 34GTR though still 40-50k for the base ones -_-) so got the next best thing a 98 33 R!

I was also SO close to buying a Evo 7, man I love those things but I wanted to own a turbo skyline before I got over them.

But CA's aren't the world's most reliable engine. N/A SR20 is a much better choice.

wut? SR20 engines come with factory busted lifters. CA's are bulletproof in the hands of a tool, esp with no forced induction.

Do it, CA18DE then weight loss the crap out of the car and give it good suspension. Look into changing the cams out of a CA20, $20 mod, makes it rev better. It'll be a great car to learn in.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
