Yeh i agree with u there skylines do suck:rolleyes:

Nahh seriously, they have big engines(in jap terms), they have turbos, there are alot of em around, they are easy to squeeze extra hp out of, they are relatively easy to work on and most of all they are well built.

U can do 200k on the engine and it should still run damn well unless u work the hell outta them and up the boost too much.

Y do u think the vl did so well over here?? all the same reasons

also the longest thread has been over 200 pages so it'll be very hard to beat that.

I will beat it dont you worry...

if people love them right about them I am personally attracted to the rear lights however it is funny how a few other companies have started producing cars with round tail lights!!!!1

and also the new ford is it that looks similar to the r34.....

they rock simply because they do...

love the styling...

love the power...

love the modability... (its a word damn it!!)

love the feeling u get when u first sit in one...

love the feeling i get when i sit in it every other time...

love the fact that when i see another skyliner they all show some sort of recognition no matter if theres is bigger and better (except when u come across an R31 or :D)

love the respect that they demand and get...

i love the car.

this doesnt just go for skylines but I like the fact that they(imports) seem to be far ahead technology wise compared to other cars...tell me what other 93 model and lower has 4 wheel streering abs all eletrics etc it seems as though only today other companies are making cars to this standard...?? correct me if im wrong

Not to mention what ford/holden which is a early 90 model that has a twin cam 24 valve 6 cyclinder engine.

Hey I think ford have just done it.. :D

10 years later.

Holden are behind the times still though.

That new 4ltr Turbo XR6 is going to get up and move.

Hey has any one seen the brochure book type thing ford sends ppls who have bought a ford before.

New XR looks quite nice I think.Nice lump in the bonnet, nice head lights.. Still they should have done this years ago.

      List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By tylink720 · Posted

      @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
