What did everyone think of the efforts at the final drag meet for 2004 the other weekend? That little 4wd that nearly rolled spun me out!!! Was a bit disapointed with the skyline though. Started awsome, heaps off smoke, got into 4th I think by the sound of it, then spun and that was it. Anybody know what happned to it?

Was for sale. Sounds like its got the goods. If it the one in the trading post in Hobart it would want to go for the price!!!!

i think he was talkin $28K is that right? he is from launceston.

apparently it just lost drive, wether it was a diff or gearbox dunno.

its not that great a car, only runs 13s. its got fully rebuilt rb25 with forged internals, custom plenum, top mount T04 external wastegate. sounds like a truck. i like the veilside rims

Good engine the old rb20's. I put one in a vl and was very happy with it. Never did get around to changing the diff ratio. Otherwise it was the same as another skyline that belonged to a good mate Mick from Speedy Tyres in launceston. His old red beast ran a best of 13.3 with truck front mount, 3 inch exaust and 14psi.

Now if only I could cram one in somthing lighter.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
