you will probably start hearing this a lot when you start talking about turboing a NA skyline but i'll say it anyway. you are better off selling your car and buying a gt-t, for the following reasons:

stronger gearbox

better brakes

LSD (if yours doesn't already have one)

what you sell your car for will probably buy you a GT-t since NA ones are a bit more valuable because of the P-plate restrictions.

if you look at what it will cost you to buy all the gear to turbo your car you are probably looking at a few thousand, where as for the same money you could buy one that is already turbo and then modify it and have more power (plus the better brakes and stronger gearbox)

some people prefer to spend a bit more rather then going through the hassle of selling and buying a car.

plus in my case i would only need the turbo gearbox.

just noticed its a gt-4, putting a turbo on that wouldn't give you much more power at 4 wheels? :)

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
