Oh I forgot to add in the begining that I want the car, whatever it ends up being to have the potential to run high to mid 11s. But not on that $15 000, because I just dont think thats enough money to get into 11s with a jap turbo.

Got the same sorta idea as u cams116, wat bout an old pintara/skyline shilouette? 4 door, 6cyl (piss it of in favor of an rb26det or sr20det or something hehe). Was lookin at these when i was first buyin a car, some of them come with a 5spd manual, but that was pretty hard to come by. They are rwd arent they? Not sure bout that sorry.

Yeah they are RWD, I was thinking that my self too, but they are like VLs everyone has done everything to them, but it would be easier and cheaper, just drop an RB25DET in easiest way to go from what I have found. Or if your feeling really lucky get an RB30ET bottom end then an RB26DETT head then add them then stroke it. Very big power engine that.

That is far the easiest !! U caould have engine in and running in a week end. I know it has been done before heaps in vl's but an old skyline... It's cool, fast and CHEAP !!





P.S. d21 navara tailshaft will bolt straight up to old skyline diff and slot into rb25det box.

I want different not easy. Bloody hell. . But how about say a the nissan quad cam 4.5L V8, anyone put one of them in a skyline?

Not really sure about this but..... what is the REALLY early skyline like??

i know what a 79 looks like but were there any before that, and I'm pretty sure there was a 79 2 door as well. That would be different

And I'll ask again craig my freind, hows ya boss. And yes I am still looking, and hopefully I'll be starting work 9am monday. So shut the f up you! Just remember thats $15 000 tops, I have $3000 on 20%pa, the car should come in at about $8 000 on the road, it will be cheaper AND dare I say it faster than the lancer. Hell my mum single cam pulsar beats your car easy, and is just as realiable.



So in other words, if you aint helping solve the prob, dont say anything.

If u wanna go insane,



i know im gonna probly be laughed at, but a 4 door Sigma Turbo, with a VR4 DOHC 16 Valve 2 liter turbo. That would be a animal. U know what would even be more insane? A 3 Liter V6 Twin turbo off a Mitsubishi GTO.

BTW - i know a TR Magna over here in perth with a GTO twin turbo donk. Boy it would scare the fuck outta you.

Id go a sigma but, they are shit, and two of my mates have 'em. And there is also a sigma with a 2JZ-GTE worked in it, something like 500rwhp and they aint even trying.



But please please stop suggesting 2 door cars/utes people, I just dont like 2 doors for anything but looks, they are inpractible for my needs. And I need a boot.

Lol true cams - sigmas are shit - but it wud be a good sleeper really - the sigma to most people is the definition of a shitbox. Think if your on the streets in ur VR4 Sigma - a richboy in his WRX or Skyline rocks up next to u, 18 inch rims, loud exhaust all the mates in the back laughing at ur pitiful heap- maybe even a get a real car comment - The driver slides it into first and revs it , the blow off valve and ego exploding. Then just before the ligts go green, you blip the throttle, the VR4 rips into life, dial up 4000 rpm and hear the turbo wail and dump the clutch, leaving the rex or skyline passengers in a state of shock and embarassment - Shit - ur fully done up, big $$$ car got done by a old Siggy - is anything more degrading than that? Plus = the cops wont think twice about you in it. (provided the car aint half rusted )

If you want practicality, and a sleeper, and you don't mind the old skyline idea,how about an r30 5door lift back?(late 80's vintage) any rb series or engine or vh41-45 infinity eng will bolt straight in (cheap car <$1000, frt cut -$1500-2500). Plenty of spare change for bolt ons, providing you can do most of the conversion yourself. hows that for something different?? and the police won't even look up from their doughnut box to look at you :roll: :wink:

Not bad, I was thinking the oldschool skylines a bit, I must say it would be the easiest way of doing things. And I cant do ANY work myself, partly I dont know what Im doing, and my Dad wants it done 'properly'.

17th November 2002 - 04:42 PM  Reply  Quote

how about a FJ20t/Sr20Det conversion in a 85 nissan bluebird trx or wagon even. that would be a nice ride, like this one of brians; http://www.geocities.com/trx910/images/eng_bay_new.jpg SR20 or the FJ20 here http://www.fullboost.com.au/cars/readersca...ebird_tony.html

makes for a nice all round package with plenty of potential

17th November 2002 - 06:41 PM  Reply  Quote

If I went a bluebird I think an RB20DET or even an RB25DET. Stuff this 4cyl junk :wink: , Dont flame me with the 4cyl comment, its ONLY a joke.

17th November 2002 - 06:48 PM  Reply  Quote

hehe ya won't get a flame from me as i have a 6 cyl turbo anyway
