My point is 80k will get you plenty of cars like an evo or better, that are ready to go...And just as fast as alot of these money pit skylines

I dont know where 80k came from, but whats with the negative skyline talk?? Yes Evos are great cars but they are still a money pit. Spend 5-10k on a skyline and you will beat an EVO in a straight line no probs. Yes around a track might be a different story but how many of us regularly track our cars?

I think both are great in different ways. Spending heaps of cash on any 'non classic' type car is always going to be a money pit.

Not many of us will be able to afford genuine 11 second factory cars like an R35 GTR etc. Modifying a cheaper car is the only way we will ever be able to have something that fast. Yes you will loose money but so will owning a 200K supercar. Just have to start thinking about insurance and depreciation for it to become very expensive.

Not knocking either, just different paths. Both ways can work out well for different people but both will cost money.

Agreed ^^

Funny today i was talking to a builder friend. He was complaining that hes lost $100K on his Bently in only 4 years.

I reminded him that 30% over 4 years isnt actually that bad, and your only loosing the $100K if your selling it.. and he is not.

You could buy a new Camry/Maxima or whatever and loose that driving around the block.

Its just that his 30% is a f**kload more than all of us! He never thought of it like that.

Well im doing 251kws on mine and i was required to do this:

ECU: Either a Nistune, PFC or VIPEC i choose PFC

Exhaust: 3inch all the way with a highflow cat

Cooler: return flow cooler

Turbo: Stock highflow with a .63 rear housing

Ignition: Splitfire coilpacks unless your factory ones are still good

induction: stock air box with a highflow panel filter or pody

Air flow: z32 or a Q45 i choose a z32

injection: i choose to highflow but i would recommend proper ones like nismo,sard 550cc's or so

fuel pump if your one is about to die, change it to a BOCH 040

do all of these and you'l be doing some good power on standard internals.

250kw is all well and good but meaningless compared to what times it can pull...

Its no good saying you have 250kws if you get beaten by a standard rexy is it...

And Harey 80k was just a number I plucked outta my skull cause a guy showed my 80k worth of receipts for a GTST oneday and i was like :D is that it

Nothing beats building a car yourself, cause your more likely to do a proper job as opposed to someone just trying to get you in and out so they can do the next job...There is plenty of good workshops out there but money cant buy you love... :rofl2:

Look the point is with a bit of homework and mechanical knowhow there is no need to through a chequebook at a car like a skyline good results can be had for little outlay as geraus said, despite the it sounded i actually was in agreement with him..

But i am also curious as to what time that setup would get him on the track, be it drag or lap..

Ive seen 250kw skylines only pull mid 13s which is what a new WRX will do..although the skyline can be built for half the price if you dont throw a chequebook at it...Use the chequebook and your likely to spend as much as a new WRX

A 250rwkw that pulls mid 13s must have some serious traction/suspension issues. It would still run a good mph and smash a new WRX from a rolling start.

I think you just like saying chequebook :down:

Not everyone has the facilities to do work on their own car. My previous car I did all the work on but now I live in an apartment in the inner city and have nowhere to work on it so used my 'chequebook' to have a cooler fitted and a nistune. Have I wasted this money... I certainly dont think so.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.

      AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
