I know theres a few people chasing these, and I've found someone in Adelaide who can make replicas of these for us off my standard originals.

There would potentially be a choice between fibreglass and carbon fibre at different prices.

I don't have the quote yet, but what I want to know from people is...

  1. Are you interested?
  2. Carbon fibre or fibreglass?
  3. How much are you prepared to pay?

I don't remember how much these were available from the Russians for, but I'd like to get a ballpark and an idea of interest to see if this is worthwhile.

Ok so if he can't do them for less than $140 there's no point. He did say fibreglass was much easier though, because you could sand it down and clean it up and you don't have to worry about the weave, so I'd expect them to be cheap.

Remember you'd have to paint them too...

I think you and Dale are possibly the only two people, but I figured it might be worth chasing anyway to see if it was worthwhile, even for just the two of you. Hardly going to be a profitable venture... ;)

I'd say he'll struggle to do much better on price for a small run; maybe if there was big demand. I'm happy enough with the Russian price; fairly reasonable I thought.

Thanks for investigating Ryan :thumbsup:

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
