OS Giken twin plate clutch and Super light flywheel.

Mods I have at home waiting to be fitted:

Chrome oil breather catch can
HKS SSQV blow off valve

Mods on the cards:


New Turbos - bigger and without ceramic internals
Big 355mm brakes and AP Calipers
Different Wheels - maybe 18's

Ya skyline is awesome matey great to see it at the meets. Yeah you have to get 18 or 19s.Any plans for the body work?

Im thinking 18's for the car, but the price difference in wheels and tyres (245's all round) between 17's and 18's is quite a bit

I have some Nismo N1 Vents on order for the front bumper, but the rest of the bodywork is staying std

Get the power up and leave it looking std for the Wolf in sheeps clothing appearance

Yeah thats the only thing rubber is pricey. Ah very wise but at the end of the day you gotta skyline so anyone racin ya is gonna get left red faced!
I gotta mate whos done the same with his black R5.

Yer very sexy car stuy!!!!

Best shaped Skyline I reckon. I reckon you should stick with 17's, just out of personal preference, and it's good you're keeping the body standard, no-one's going to want to buy a hyper modded car in a few years, and it looks good enough.

Getting to that time of year where is time to change the coolant to have a higher concentration of antifreeze, so whilst doing it, Ive ordered some Samco Coolant hoses to replace the old rubber jobbies - should add a little more colour under the bonnet

cool man really want to see ur car u go the meets?

That is such a nice car, but is it possible to get clear/smoked indicators as that would finish the classy look off!!! i like the way your going for the standardish look because it aint like this is a corsa (no offence to corsa owners, this is a beautiful car that doesn't need adjusting....

Lol, I did think about clears, but only 1 company makes them - in japan, and they are £200 plus the postage

woah 200 smackeroons!!!! i reckon ya tint em ya self then, seriously it would make a hell of a differance!!!

Picked up a set of new wheels over the weekend, R33 GTR Wheels

Good Conti's all round and in general good nick.

Fingers crossed, Ive just managed to buy a pair of tubbys

A Pair of Hybrids, consisting of Sunny GTiR Compressor wheels, 360 degree bearings stagger gap rings. Each one of these should be capable of supporting 350bhp+ each

Also a pair of HKS turbo elbows, and a trust front pipe

Just waiting on a phone call to confirm I can have them

youre ****in nuts! hats off to that man

bloody hell mate. how far you going to take this car. 1000+ bhp

Initial aim is 5-600bhp, Even with those turbos I still need new management and bigger injectors to break the 450 mark

Still not heard back about the turbos though

Still waiting on the HKS elbows - these should be sent later this week, but heres the tubbys and the front pipe

i agree wif red cinq, smoked indicatiors on that would make it look the fully monty!

Some slightly better pics - this time with a fag packet for an idea of scale

The pic of the front pipe shows the exhaust size, as it leaves the turbos - 2 1/2" and goes in to the rest of the system with it all 3"

--------------------

Awesome

You got the space under that bonnet ??

When you fitting them?

Lol, yeah, loadsa space - they even sit bottom mount

On their own, they dont look much - just like a GTi-R turbo that has been played with, but get a pair of them

As soon as the elbows arrive and we get a decent weekend (Or decent day for me to book off) Ill get them bolted up

Had a look at the job over the weekend, and as easy as the job is, theres just loads of fiddling round

Access need to be from on top of the engine, then under, then on top, then under, so, I decided Its going in to garage on Wednesday to have them fitted

Anyone wanna buy a pair of std Skyline turbos

Picked the car up last night

Had the boost backed off to .7 bar, and it felt faster than the old tubbys at 1bar.

Had a play on the way home, and ive got them up to .95bar (about 14psi) and its shifting now All 4 tyres are struggling for traction in the dry.

Need to get the boost up to about 1.25 - 1.3 bar for my "High" setting and it should be a little more interesting

he he he sounds fun man!!

cool

Aye Stu, should be good when you get everything on. Gonna have to pop down sometime in mine. Spent £170 on Optimax in 3 days lol!

Done a couple of little bits over the weekend, fitted a polished fuse box cover - really performance enhancing eh? but it was free

And fitted a nice polished, alloy, crankcase breather catch can

i luv ur skyline, i luv any skylines really lol! you've gotta take me for a spin in it !!! lol!!

Lol, Took MisterAdam out in it at the last meet, and I think Dazza is next in the Que, so if he doesnt soil the seat.......

you did indeed, im not gonna deny that i shouted "jesus christ" and nearly wet myself, its all good though

Yeah soz guys am next in the que, I may soil the seat on purpose that way only me will sit back in it!!

haha

MEOW That sounded sexy when you were out the other night

Bagsie next after Dazza & Saz!!!!!!!!

Got a couple of problems with the car at the moment

Need to replace a few injectors and I need a battery.

Injectors should be here as soon as the post is back to normal, and Ill get a battery in the week

My N1 Vents have eventually arrived from Japan so just need to get them painted and fitted now

are you going for the same injectors or going for bigger ones?

lets see some pics of the vents to

Just bought 4 std injectors from a GTi-R to tide me over for now.

Bigger injectors are on the cards this year, but I need a new engine managment to run them, which I cant afford all at one go right now.

The std injectors are a good upgrade for the S13 200sx, so Ill get my money back on them when I sell them anyway

Vents:

wel let me know after dazza coz i wanna go!!! lol!

Heres a pic of one with the vents fitted - just tidys the front end up a little...

Them holes are well purty stuey. How much they set you back.Are they official nissan parts?

The vents are Nismo jobbies, and the ones I have are GRP copies which where just under £100 delivered from Japan

I Think the original Nismo N1 vents are over £200 for the pair

I was about to say if they wer over 200 pound for two then get replicas.Misterad could probably knock some of them up. They dont look too complex.Compliment the car so much tho

I havnt got them on the car at the moment as they are being copied by my sisters boyfriend who is a fibreglass specialist

they a right touch dont look out of place at all an just under a ton cant comlpain these days!

Just booked it in at RB Motorsport for next Monday. Getting everything checked like timing / fueling and boost etc

are you rolling road'in it to get your bhp yet?

If he has one it will be on it

Just bought one of these in blue

E-Bay link

Heard a few good reports about them, and at that price........

good good, do you think you'll feel the difference in the drive?

even if you dont it'll look a little tidier in the engine bay haha

There nice them vents, but a TAD expensive but i beleive this is b'cos there the only company that make them? Whens my go in ya car!! lol

Sold the Skyline now

Sad to see her go, but these things are just to damn expensive to keep on the road, guess it could be the end of a dream, but I think the end of a nightmare may sum it up a little better.

The GTR was stonking when it was running, but unfortunatly, that was less often than when it wasnt running

Soooo, Back to a 200SX for me

Oh the memorys!
Bigger and better things to come tho!
