Guys,

This guy sounds like he is a bit of a psycho. You guys are mocking him pretty badly and I would be pretty concerned for all those skyline owners who live in Perth. I'm pretty sure that if he walks past a skyline he would scratch it etc.

HSV Tool? He drives a SS.. So SS tool. I don't want to be associated with him :)

chace and abuse the person at gixxer.com all you want just leave the person jason rouse alone he definatly is not the one you want. if you knew what i know about the only jason rouse that lives in perth and works in the ADF you wont chace this up

TRUST ME !!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure that you guys are talking about the same Jason Rouse. Here is an anti turbo thread he started on the Ls1 forums:

He wouldn't be a chicken strangler from Swanbourne would he???

Im shocked at what this guy has said about Skylines and other JAP cars…

Ive had a V8 Commodore.. wasn’t that great.. Ive had a Mitsubishi GSR Turbo Lancer aswell.. now that was great!!

I love the feeling you get from a Turbo charged vehicle and you just don’t get that from a V6 or a V8.

The fact that a Jap car with about half the fuel consumption say 2.5L compared to 3.8L V6 can absolutely whip the crap outa the bigger fatter car. Even V8s get killed by about half the guys on these forums..

I love the fact that you can buy 1000+ mods for your Turbo car.

The fact that these V8 blokes prove it to us over and over again that they are the dumbest people to own a drivers license under the sun is amazing… Why I ask..

How often do you find people from these forums bagging V8s?? Not often... we keep to our self and happily wipe them all over the road.

I will leave you with an image of what I imaging our young nut case looks like.. you pick.. either one..

Mate, I owned a S15 and I thought that I would be missing that instant turbo rush but have you stepped into a LS2 yet(new clubby)? It feels like you have been hit by a massive cricket bat, and it keeps going.

In reference to fuel consumption. All performance cars drink heaps of petrol. When you drive hard in a 4 cycl evo or STI it drinks a lot of fuel. You'll be surprised that there aint that much difference between the fuel consumption of the evo and the hsv. MOTOR averaged 17 litres per 100kms for the evo as opposed to 18litres per 100kms for the hsv in there latest comparison.

I've also heard that the RX8, even though it is a small 1.3 litre engine it drinks like 20litres/100kms when driven hard.

It is a myth that the smaller the engine, the less fuel it drinks.

Im not bagging V8s like your one at all Vuster. You have a very nice Car infact Id probably sell my curent two cars and get just the wheels from your car.. See its not the V8 owners like you that I personly get angry at.. Its the 18 year old guys or who ever this guy in that post is.. He specificly picks on Skyline owners and other nissan owners.. he is what I call a V8BOG

I own 2 skylines and live in a country hole with 99.9% V8 lovers and some drive really quick ie 11 &12 sec V8's which are awesome bigarse cars, but I'm the 0.1% who has seen the light. Cornering, braking, balance, build quality and appointments is where my $15-20 thou cars have it hands down on any aussie built beast.

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny
