hey guys I been looking at different things with my r33 and I relized all spoilers look shit on an R33 flat back is best and then I looked at the front and thought hmmm a nice twin round headlight conversion would look nice and then it got me thinking ive seen cefiro and R32 R34 fronts on an R33 but what about a 370z front end I reckin it wouldn't look too bed aye.

its a fat car like the R33 is really no other skyline has the fatty dynamics like the whale body r33 wide front gaurds with the lighst going up I reckin would look kick ass.

what you guys think cant find anything on the net yets still looking so either it looks shit or im 1st to think about it lol.

yer I know unique usally mean ugly but I dunno somthin about it makes me want to try it out I mean would look good as a drift car and honestly that pic makes me want to do it even more lol

id think of buying a damn 370z or even Q35 skyline non gtr But the thought of non RB non turbo just kills it.

V6 I can cope with but damn Non Turbo and non Hot plate lights whhyyy Nissan.

Yer I asked a engineer about that he said that the size of the motor is np even an RB30 though the age of the motor compared to the age of the car it cannot legally be done.

Something about pollution standards this is why 13B rotaries aren't slotted into RX8 this is what he said this is only from one engineer that is a mates mate I havnet asked anyone else about it.

I also like the 3500cc compared to even a 2600cc even though the RB26DETT has a heap more power.

What is the engine like with a turbo or 2 strapped to the sides and what about the manual boxes in the Q35's will they handle the added HP of a turbo same as engine?

Any engine with a turbo strapped to the side is the same as before, just now there is a turbo strapped to it.

Rather than going to the trouble of strapping it to the side for no real gain, a turbo conversion would be more useful and no straps required.

Ok look il take the negative comments and all that and stupidity intwined with this project I was asking about but don't insult my intelligence with your smartass comments so much you needed to post twice I was simply asking if you don't ask you don't know.

your last comment is kinda redundant as your contradicting yourself as saying a turbo conversion as what its the same as before what you mean just no plumbing and ECu and all that aswell do I have to write all that in aswell meaning

turboing the NA motor that is in the Q35 do you mean swap the motor out for a V6 twin turbo motor from say an R35 GTR as they are my simplest options im guessing not as cheap as I would expect but that's what I would do if I was to get a Q35?

Don't just jump in enlighten me please.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣

      R34 Skyline Sunroof Won't Tilt/Vent

      By ShezzDogs · Posted

      Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
