I have gradually lost the fun of driving my skyline, and need some ideas to get it to kik me in the arse again. Most of you know my car has 250rwkw and right now i found that.. well... boring. I think it may be the fact that im used to it and it doesnt surprise me anymore. What are some cheap ways to squeeze power into it, keeping in mind that it has stock engine internals and is running a GT-2835

How long have you had your licence:) Seriously, rather then spending money on another 20-40 rwkws and never having anywhere to enjoy it. Better of spending the money on going to the track and having a ball.

The track with 200rwkws in a GTST is awesome fun...so with 250rwkws it would be tip top. So dont spend another dollar on power, spend it on enjoying it in an environment where you can actually let the 250rwkws loose:thumbsup:

Or go grifting...that seems popular and fun too:)

Ive been driving the skyline since it was bought it Aug 2003, first i was driving it on my L's and now on my P's

Yeah i wanna go to a track day, belt it around a bit :( Would be fun

Drive a festiva for a week, then get back into your car...easy fix!

LOL that would work very well. Think ill settle for Roy's suggestion and go to the track :P

Track is the answer!!!

100% agree.

I was much like that myself with my car previous to doing all my mods.

Whilst im not on the track at the moment.

Lately i've been doing some runs late at nights with another group of boys that's really brought the fun of driving my car back to me.

I really should be taking it to the track i know. And when i do i expect that i'll enjoy the car even more again to be honest.

Also, i have a dialy... a FORD KC Laser. Whilst not running the past 6 weeks.

That piece of sh|t really gives you an appreciation after a few days of ot driving the skyza.

There is one other way. Let someone take you for a spin. Its soo much different in the passenger seat.

Mate of mine took me for a spin about a month ago in my car (i know he can handle it)

And i swear to god i was sh|t scared. He wasnt being silly. Just flat acceleration but by god i can now respect why some passengers of mine get a bit worried at times.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
