Skyline -> Territory Turbo, Am I Mad?

[Downforce]

Yeah but regularly - why would you? Can tow, and towing well/easily are two different things

I was first wondering why you'd want to put a turbo from a Territory in your Skyline...

They run a GT35/40R - so would go pretty good on an RB25! Acknowledge he has an RB26DETT from the looks of the sig pic....but I had one on an Rb30ET and it ran a 12.6

My vote is on an e53 X5 3.0D - although in your price range you'd be looking at one with around 200km on it.

The petrol V8's are a beast - you could pick up a 4.4is or a 4.6is (which is a stroked Alpina motor ) and fit a tow kit and an X-pipe in the exhaust and you'd have one sweet cruiser that sounds mental and does a 1-100 in 6.1 seconds. Bonus is they have self levelling rear air bags, so great for towing. They will drink, approximately 20L/100km, but because they're thirstier than the diesels you can pick them up for the 25k mark with much less km's than a diesel generally, and then you can get a liquid vapour injection kit fitted for 5k which rounds you out to 30k nicely.

I know all this cos i've been looking at buying one recently and spent hours upon hours trying to make the numbers stack up but in the end i do too much commuting to justify the running costs. PM me if you're interested in this idea though because I can tell you what to look out for when inspecting.
