u want something that will do long drives, comfortably....falcons and commodores are ideal for that. skylines etc will be revving at 3000+RPM the whole way, where as the falcons and commodores will be under 2000RPM at 100km and a bit over....

they're also not performance cars, but have decent power for base model family cars....and will be cheaper to maintain and fix if anything goes wrong

Or.....you could buy a Stagea! :blink:

But seriously.....We used to have a Supercharged Statesman.....I would definatly recommend one of those to you. Very reliable and also cheap to run, had a fair bit of up and go in it......But very very comfy, and very pimlishous :P

my cousin has a VX..not sure of the exact model, it might be lumina, but its a supercharged V6...and its definitely got some kick....

have you driven a base model BA or VX, VZ etc.....they got a fair bit of kick for base model family cars

Wow! Thats a manual! :blink: Kinda makes me wanna buy it.....but yeah, Stageas have a ton of room and heaps of potential (mechanical wise) They handle very well....and there is plenty of spare parts. RB25DET, so no probs with engine parts :P

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
