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...

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
