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.

Seems like the meme to me. Umad vicpol?

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
