I've decided to say goodbye to my skyline. either that or turn it into a rally car for weekend use. The reason being: I bought a chaser yesterday. It only took about 4 weeks to find one and win it (at auction). But the patience has paid off, and now I have a white (pearl?) JZX100 Manual, getting ready to be shipped to its new home.

Its only a series one, and a '96 model, but still teh JZX100. I had to go older to be able to afford the manual. theyre in high demand and not easy to come buy. was bidding on maybe 8 a week, and just missing out. I dont have any pics yet, and wont for about another week. Apparently its "Golden Week" in japan, which i figure is just a week of public hols. once i get better pics ill post them. I only have the ones that came with the auction sheet.

The only thing now is to wait...and find some sites that have parts for these cars. they're harder to find than fruit in a fat kids lunch box.

I imported it through imports101, and recommend them to anyone thinking of importing (or again).

anyway, just thought i'd let you all know. its no 34gtr, but its enough to piss off alot of V8 lovers around my town. and theres a lot, i live in bathurst.

Good to hear. I wish mine was a manual. I had to decide between auto series 2 or manual series 1, and chose the auto. Those manuals really push the price up. I'm still not sure if I made the right decision, though.

I second the call for pics too. Danny should send you a set of high res ones like mine.

BTW Did you end up needing a set of wheels?

Yeah he said he'd get pics to me ASAP.

I think I will need wheels. I'll see what happens closer to when it gets here. It has pretty simple 6 spokes on it. danny might be able to find some wheels for me for compliance. dunno yet.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!

      The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.

      What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.

      Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
