Now i know this isnt a skyline but ive been on the site for a while because well i really wanted a skyline but will still own one when im older but for now this is what i brought myself.

Hey guys this is my newly aquired 1984 Series 3 RX7 with a 13B Turbo from a series 4.

Here are the features of the car.

Engine: EFI, fully electronic ignition, boost cut defender, High HP fuel system, Port machined manifolds, Modified Hitachi turbo and waste gate control (14psi), Mazfixc solid steel lightened flywheel, Mazfix XHD clutch, JAP performance turbo manifold, 3" mandrel bent exhaust, cold air intake with 3" K&N cone filter, custom high capacity sump, Series 4 front mount oil cooler, Series 3 5 speed gearbox and 26 spline diff (3.9 + 4.11 gears)

Interior: Power windows, power mirrors, air con, cruise control, Cd/mp3 player, flat bottom steering wheel, custom alloy gearknob, autometer pro-comp boost gauge, LED Mixture lights.

Exterior: Tinted Windows, 15" B45 simmon's wheels, front spoiler, lowered suspension, original series 3 ltd paint scheme.

I have a few plans, first upgrade brakes and possibly suspension, Then get the mags fixed so they sit inside the guards and then some engine work (but its quick enough now). Previous owner said the car runs 13.4 1/4 mile on street tires. However i think it could go faster. Think thats about it, very happy with the car and i am sure to keep it for a long time

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
