This NA is so stock.

Don't buy an NA skyline....waste of money better off with a ford or commodore to be honest.

Big single.

This

Tony..... I have my ways ;)

It will most likely be sold for profit hopefully. Kesh money!

Anyone who does anything with a car intending to make money is just asking for trouble

Just to comment on what clint said regarding commos/falcons vs natro skylines. Mine was an NA 25 before I did the ls1 conversion and I also own an AU falcon 6.

While the falcon may be faster in a straight line if given the choice id still take the 33 natro if I was on my ps. Just a much MUCH better driving experience, but for a daily and that's all it ever is you can't go past a doughy auto land barge falcon

I was looking at it more from a view of if you are going to buy a skyline you are better off buying a Turbo one as buying an NA one is like buying chinese knock off nike's...they look the goods but it's just not the same. Best bet is to save the coin and drive something else until the right car comes along and then go enjoy it.

Better bang for buck out of a turbo model, 2.5l 6cyl non turbo is not exactly an efficient piece of technology to move something the weight of an R33 and doing upgrades to it is just throwing money in a hole.

Take turbo from rb25 that is bein pulled down. Put on NA rb25.

Win?

Have to be careful as the NAs run a higher comp ratio. Can be done with a smaller turbo which would make for decent power and torque of boost and then fun on boost. Even aT25 would do the job efficiently.

Alternatively, using a 25NA head on a 30 bottom end. Would give a higher comp ratio and still take a fair whack of boost.

    • Its also worth mentioning that 30 years after it left the factory and god knows how many missed oil changes since, there is every possibility that one or more lifters are ticking because they are sticky/gummed up. To resolve that you need to pull the cams then pull each lifter, disassemble, clean, reassemble, soak in oil and re-install, and they should come up good as new.
    • What air filter are you running? Is it a panel filter in the stock air box, or a pod filter? Is the air filter the type that is oiled?   If you unplug the IACV, what rpm does the engine idle at?
    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
