think north of $10k as a bare minimum to get it done properly. some spent $17-22k which is considered the norm for a well designed layout / install and tune.... e.g. APS kit

should have bought an R34 mate... :-) or M35 stagea... the turbos come 'free' in those... works out cheaper to swap

I already bought a v35. I love it. My folks helped me, and they thought R34's were too old. I'll buy one eventually...oh and a Ford Mustang with a blower...What? A guy can dream, can't he? I wonder if you could put a blower on a v35...with a hole in the hood, V35 Muscle/Tuner hybrid. Why oh why isn't there a pimp my ride in australia? Probably cause everything is banned in australia.

If there was, i'd just buy the body of a r34 and post a video to pimp my ride. Remake the whole thing. Fully sickness bro. More fuller then full.

Actually, come to think about it. I would buy the body of a nissan Gtr...I'll call up Jap World and ask.

Oh, btw...Brian from Just Cars...I don't have enough posts to reply to you yet, but you are f**king awesome!!! Peace

So, anyone else got anythoughts?

HKS does two kits, one is s/c and the other is tt kit... they're about $7-10k parts only ex japan not including install & tuning... if you can find someone to tune the supplied piggy back / replacement ECU.

APS have around $17k drive in drive out tt solution. Oh and if yours is 5sp auto you'll need have the auto rebuild

locally to withstand 500HP which is not included in APS' package. You see it will never be cheap to do FI on this car,

so best to leave it alone as N/A unless you are fully loaded with cash and got nothing better to do with them.

every country has their own different rule, unfortunately they can't just change the law for the sake of a bunch of 'pimp my ride' fans who felt left out. if you can't stand it, maybe take up a course/degree in teaching, and apply for an english teaching job in Japan and live there. car mod scene is more relaxed there... although they do still have 3-yearly road inspection called the 'shaken' which means they do still have some limits on how you modify your car before it's deemed unroadworthy and cannot be registered...

bye

When I was mucking around with mine I did consider a VQ30DET conversion. Decided to not go that way at the time, however, think it would be worth considering in future. Can pick up VQ30DET's for under $2000. Would have to look at sensor compatability......

Can't see why not given it is essentially the same block as the VQ. Aftermarket Engine management would be required but to purchase a VR you'd pay more than the market value of the V35 for a front cut

I was considering doing this to a v36.

I use my V35 for work and it works well because its a sedan w/ CVT and just a plain good ride.

The reason i was going to go for the 36 is cause its got more powahhh to start of with and id be getting the manual coupe. No really point in having two of the same car either.

Spoke to a few people and the general concensus is that you'd be looking at about 20k to get it done right.

This includes: the kit, ecu, exhaust, cant remember if they incl brakes, and proper tune.

To me this would be AWESOME!

Since I do use cars for work i can claims stuff of tax, so I'm going to chat to my accountant and see what we can and can't do.

But the way I see it, $60-70k for a car that would be very quick and fun, w/ the skyline name and tradition, without the stigma attached to the hotplates would be pretty cool.

and it would just be really different.

Which is always good.

Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Tony

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
