Hey this is steve

Im a little new to the turbo scene, Ive had my vr clubsport for a few years now but I wanted to upgrade to something that looks abit better, probably a turbo skyline? I understand I am sacraficing power and speed in this descision but the skyline definetley looks better in my opinion.

I cant decide between a 1997 skyline or a 1998 one. I like the new look but it is abit expensive do you think its worth paying extra. do you think it will be able to beat my brothers VT V6 3.8 with extractors and exhaust??? He will never let me forget it if he can beat me in a race. !!

Thanks in advance !!!!!

Steve

I used to own a mded Supercharged VT V6 and I don't think you will have much trouble beating a standard V6 without cam or forced induction)

I had a 12 pound pulley and tein 2.5" cat Back...

Although I never did actually race a skyline I would have been able to beat a new integra type R stock except for cat back...

also owning one with just a few small mods will put u ahead of a 255 ls1 in a race down the 1/4. hell mine when it had just 170rwkws used to chop the crap out of my nans gto 255kw. no suprises there

just dont go dragging anyone on the street

Its funny how many people here came from a commodore background.

I was a Commodore man, at the same stage my mate bought a 150rwkw VR SS. Ive since had a range of imports from GTST to GT-R.

You're not sacrificing power or speed, a GTST will make more power and be much faster due to power to weight, not to mention handle much better etc. A stocker GTST will pretty much dust a 185kw VR Clubsport, you really can't lose when compared to a 3.8L VT.

yeh shoalin knows what hes talking about.

he used to own that bogan car then he fell in love with supras now he's on a skyline forum

wtf?

Yeah...but I still can't decide whether to get the Zonda or the Koenigsegg... :cheers:

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
    • I've managed to find this: Nissan_Stagea_AutechVersion260RS (1).pdf
    • I believe @Duncan has given it a crack at Mt Buller before (in actual race conditions)
    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
