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...

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.

      We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.

      Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
