hey everyone, love the site.

allright well, i have a vs calais that i am putting an rb25det into, bought my donor skyline (r33) last week,

was thinking ill take the engine out and sell the stuff off the skyline to hopefully make the money i spent back on it.

just had a couple questions,

1# what is everyones opinions on a quality aftermarket ecu, the car is a manual, has 290rwkw for now.

it still has stock nissan ecu.

2# would 1000cc injectors be good for around 300-350kw?? or would an upgrade be in order and if so at what power would it be worth changing them over.

3# what would the problem be if when i start the skyline it starts blowing out light smoke from the oil catch can?

4# and would anyone know if i could use a vl manual front half of the tailshaft and have the original vs rear part?

anyone that has done this to a vs would love to talk, or even if someone could send me a link to someone thats done it would be a great help.

and by the way i dont need anyone telling me to ditch the commodore and keep the skyline, have alot of love for my calais and its very neat to.

cheers guys...

welcome.

ok, ecus are all preference.

talk the guy youre going to tune the car, and find what they like.

most will have a preference, and get better results out of that.

im very happy with my haltech.

1000cc will be fine for that power level, but may run out up top if using e85.

smoke from catch can, could be worn rings/bores.

but, going for 350, if the engine isnt sound, youll find our soon enough.

I have the platinum pro plug in.

I repky fast, because I have no life

but srsly, alot of people around here like cars in general, not just skylines.

so, the community is generally accepting.

dont know anyone who has done this conversion, but have seen it done.

there is a member on here by tje user name captain natro, he has done an ls1 into an r33....

[jakecarp24]

Welcome, your Calais looks awesome in that photo. Love the wheels/tyres and the tone of blue paint. There is a VR/VS wagon getting around with a Toyota V8 in it. Sounds great. LS1 conversions have a lot of off the shelf parts which makes them less of a headache but I guess you have your reasons choosing an RB25 to power your Calais. Good luck with it!

[jakecarp24]

that was an awesome thread luke, cheers for that. love the ls series, makes me miss my maloo ute:(

thanks loach, aprreciate it. yeah i would like an ls1 but i would need a pretty deep pocket which unfortunatly i dont, where as the rb practically a bolt in job, and the engine i have allready has 290rwkw which quite frankly ill be happy with:)
