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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
