the natro ones will beat a natro skyline, but that is beside the point. the main point is that the dash looks like the cockpit of a 1950's plane that has been butchered to fit in a car.

I've seen one butchered further to fit into a VL and covered with diamond quilted beige leather.

I dont mind the interior on supras ... their tiny though, i was going to go for one of them but the skyline had lots more room .. not that thats an issue with my midget size but its alot easier to get in and out of especially in a tiny and tight garage like mine :)

Rocky auto in Japan have built a 26/30 with triple webers making just over 300hp

but these projects should only be for the obsession of building a ridiculous n/a RB. The results can be cool but your wallet suffers soo hard.

If you wanna be a sneaky P Plater might i suggest a company in the us called STS turbos. just dont blame me when the cops pull you over cause your n/a skylines exhaust sounds like a jet turbine :P

You can legally put something like a 6L na motor in a skyline, does the P plater rules say anything about a big NA v8/six ? If you got say a 5.6L nissan V8 out of some massive truck that is too heavy to be on the banned list, could you get away with that?

edit: Perfect choice of car to put an rb30de in, being as they came out with a 2.6 or some people put the 2.8L motors in, a newer 3L twin cam really suits it. NA RBs usually sound like dogs balls as well so it sounds surprisingly nice, might be the cam they are using.

Im in QLD so im not really up on the p plate laws of other states. but i wasn't aware of any states allowing any engine swaps other than engines that came optioned for that model. ie:you can put an RB25DE neo out of a 34 into an R32 because R32 were optioned with 25's in some models.

You can put any engine in you want providing you engineer it, there are however engine size limits. Something like 4L turbo for an R32 and 6-7L NA

you can go read the relevant ADRs for it, there are also engine swap forms which show what you can do legally.

In QLD you are not allowed any engine mods that require a mod plate. a conversion requires a modplate.

Oh right you were talking in regards to P platers, I thought you were talking generally, my bad.

Yeah I suspect it is something similar in other states as well, anyway getting off topic. :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
