but the bad stigma (sp?) involved around Skylines/Silvias/random imports being the new bogan drifter and what not has turned me off

What stigma was that?? I hadn't heard that one...I guess skylines have a bad reputation from the media because it's become their favourite star of stereotyped story "young inexperienced driver crashes turbo import" but that's just all a beat-up....other than that I hadn't heard a skyline/silvia - bogan linkage from anywhere. Bogans are too xenophobic to drive anything Japanese (unless it's Japanese with a holden badge and then they assume it's Australian).

I can't believe someone hasn't made a skyline ute yet...I've seen a merc ute, a volvo monstertruck and even a rolls royce ute...sooner or later someone will abuse a skyline in such a way I'm sure

OK while we're on the subject about the skyline ute...I was thinking of going down this path with a series II stagea, with R34 front....4WD Turbo ute!!!

Good idea or not?

Why?

Because you can?

You can glue your nuts to your forehead if you try hard enough,

but would you?

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • 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? 
    • 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!
    • 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!
