This car is in great condition and I have been exceptionally happy with it. I use it to drive to and from work, a 52km round trip, along King Georges rd daily so the odometer is a little high.

It has an aftermarket intercooler, front strut bar, boost gauge, HKS BOV and 18" wheels, 225/40ZR18 on the front, 265/35ZR18 on the rear, fitted by the previous owner and he did an excellent job doing it.

Since owning it i have added a Kenwood headunit (KDC-BT7539U) that has bluetooth built in and has a usb connection that is compatible with all iPods including the newest iPhone. The headunit runs a Clarion 4 channel amp (APX4241), currently running in bridged mode, powering Alpine splits (SPS-600C) in the front doors. On the rear parcel shelf are Sony explod 6x9's that i did not install (previous owner, not a great choice) that are just running off the headunit as they dont need, or deserve, to be amped.

I have also had installed a Mongoose MX40 alarm with kill switch hidden for starting hooked into the fuel pump relay so will start for 4 or so seconds before dying if the switch is not used. In addition to the alarm i have installed a window wind up kit that will close the windows as soon as the car is locked with the remote.

Mechanically i have replaced the coil packs, coil pack loom, spark plugs and AFM, as i was chasing a missfire that would happen randomly at idle making takeoff hard. It ended up being the coilpack loom. The front tyres were replaced in May 2009 so still have heaps of rubber on them. It has new brake pads and discs in the rear and new pads in the front as the discs could be machined, replaced this month (June). I have added a boost controller to run the car at 10psi boost and the ECU has had no problems at this setting, it runs great.

the car averages 400km to a tank but will go well over that on a trip up or down the coast, the best i have seen is 650km after a massive drive down the coast.

As a side note if you know skylines you will know that the drivers side power window can be very temperamental, so i have replaced the motor ($700 from Japan!) and relay box in the door so there are now no more problems with it.

Forgot to add it has a 3" turbo back exhaust fitted

The engine is serviced by me every 5,000km with motul engine oil and filter from just jap automotive and at the 200,000 mark i changed the diff oil, gearbox oil, and power steering and brake fluid, and had the timing belt and water pump replaced.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
