This is my finished (exterior) wise 1990 Skyline gts-t sedan . I'm super stoked on how it came out. Couldn't decide if I wanted to clip the zipties for "crashing" a hotrod show n shine... They are cut now. The wings are one off pieces I made since I couldn't find something I could buy that was this idea took as much material money plus so much time ahha.

The first fiberglassing me and a friend did deleting the extension on the end of the sideskirt.

Relocated the powersteering pump to get out of my air filters way and relocated my oil dipstick too.

Get the exhaust as hung as I could. Two mufflers inline so its decently quite till the screamer pipe.

Made a top feed rail out of a cut down rb20det fuel rail.

Holset he341 t3 turbo

ebay tial knockoff 38mm

Ignition hotwire mod

fmic 3" piping

skull and bones oil cooler filter relocation

s13 koyorad e-fans

Megasquirt standalone ecu

Suspension:

Nearly floor level fixed bucket seat and I'm only 5'9" hahah

Very simple machine really. Seems like I removed more than I replaced ha.

Love to see a video of this beauty in action. The obvious question, why the KA?

When I was first into this car I was a big weight reduction nazi. Now I couldn't care less, but originally that was a factor. The rb was pissing me off and I was given two good complete ka24de with trannies. It's a displacement upgrade, while removing two cylinders and turbo kits are cheap. Working on the engine is so easy so much room. Since having it a slew of benefits have shown themselves. But really I just like the ka24det, it's a beast and torquey just a 10psi. I could talk about how its cheaper hp especially after parting out the rb. BUT thats not really true for me anymore because I've built it how I wanted to and plan on getting very stupid when I do a rebuild. 2.6L fully counterweighted crank is more than people sell running rb20det up here lol. But its what I want to do and I love how it already is. Wouldn't change anything. I definitely welcome the question though and feel free to ask anything about the ka as it's not what one would normally look like, plus you guys don't have them down there eh?

I have enough go pro to make a new little video soon here but here is a couple clips of it turboed

and NA last year, clutch kicks all day

like wise,

is it you and your brothers that have all the sedans?

thanks dude :)

Eric and Ryan are actual brothers, not me. We've been bros since high school though!

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
