This was discussed in the site idea/feedback section but anywayz. Its good the made a point of mentioning it. Brings it more into the mainsteam - most people still don't know what a Skyline is or why it even has the following it does. When they sit in one and hear it ripping thru the gears then they quickly learn :(

Hmmm "there will be much chat when the V35 appears..." (paraphrase) - i'm not sure about that. Very few can afford a R34 GT-R as to, little own something even newer and more expensive. It's a whole different group to the commondoor HSV set!

Most are here are under 30 by the looks of things, but still many of us can eat 50 year olds in their 2002 Clubsports no worries ;)

Thats just hype talk about the 35, basically a big name drop. It was in wheels after all :(

I reckon most ppl know what a skyline is but still dont respect em. Cmon there are more lines out there than manaros but its still the comon misconception that u need cubic inches to make power.

I'm pretty sure performanceforums get more hits than us.....

Does anyone know how they were rated?

Who cares about performance forums. Too many REM's there. (Raging Ego Maniacs)

Be glad there's no market interest for skylines in Aust - if there was, the fuctory would import them and then they'd be subject to heaps of import duty and luxury car tax and stuff...

(Don't know for sure, so correct me if i'm wrong, but I think they are cheaper coz they are not imported by the factory.)

Put it this way. The S15 is $40k and it runs an SR20.

So the r33/34 would be in the $50-60 range.

To counterpoint, how much would Lexus charge for a Soarer (!!!)

im sure when the v35 gtr is actually released there might be more guys in japan selling r34 and going to v35, therefor with more r34 on market, you could see price drop a little bit...

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
