[Nismo Skyline]

If you have an RB engine, what have you done to it?

I have an Apexi super suction kit with Z32 afms, Nismo downpipe, Nismo exhaust, 1 bar boost and JWT chip. It's making about 400 at the crank.

I have a HKS T04R kit on order for it. Then watch out, hopefully I will be close to the 600 mark.

Man, I wish I had a Skyline. How much did you pay for the car plust the mods?

 

[Sonic]

About $29,000 AUD for the vehicle.

And modifications/accessories amount to about $28,000 AUD excluding the audio equipment.

 

[dho]

How much is that compared to US dollars? Maybe I should move to Austrailia.

I was there last summer...I miss Australia...its fun.

When I was there a little less than a year ago 1AUD=~USD0.55

 

[Sonic]

Yeah, thats about right. $1 AUD = 0.55-0.56c USD.

 

[Sonic]

About 32,000 USD. But I have more parts and pieces in the shed yet to go in. I got a lot of parts at wholesale/cost price, from a friend.

 

[dho]

Man, I can't believe I've spent $17,000 including loans that I'm paying to keep my sentra running and all the mods. I could have just saved that and also 13,000 more and I could have had a skyline in Austrailia!

 

[Sonic]

A very fast Skyline at that. I'm looking forward to getting mine onto the 1/4 mile with the new turbo

? on RB engine

I also have an RB engine but I don't know if we have the same car because mine is an '89 NISSAN CEFIRO 2.4GTSR japanese version. I'm sure it's an RB engine as the engine model says. Just happy to know that these cars and engines are quite rare and expensive. Do you have any suggestion on extending its life or any preventive maintenance you can advise? Thanks!

It's hard to find nissan parts here in the Philippines and besides it's too expensive. FYI

 

[Sonic]

No, two completely different vehicles.

By the way, happy birthday.

 

[pipogtsr]

Sorry for my ignorance, anyway my sister works in AUS in Sydney. She's connected with Toshiba at present. Thanks for clearing up things.

Do you have any suggestion on maintaining the engine?

 

[Sonic]

Services every 5,000km. Keep it degreased etc.

I dont service or maintain my engine, my mechanic, Nobby, does all that for me.

 

[nobby]

Im sonic's mechanic! his beast is one of australias greatest skylines! And I say that wiv my honest oppion! A very quick car also! He ova exagerated the 5000km's service! I do it every 1500km's wiv a car of that standards! cheers!

 

[Sonic]

I couldn't honestly tell when you service the fucking thing. You're always under the bonnet tinkering with something, ya little fucking rabbit. One day you should have a rest and leave my car at the same power ratio for just a few hours. Might be able to get used to it. LOL. Fucking tool. Cheers cobs.

 

[dho]

Hey, atleast you have someone always tunning your car! I wish I had someone to do that for me... oh wait, i just have a 1.6L sentra, no turbo to tune. What's the most HP/TQ your car will make?

 

[Sonic]

350-400 whp, depending on the boost. I'm not too sure about the torque. I'll ask Nobby, as he knows most of the car's performance figures. They are constantly changing, and I havent had a decent dyno run for about 3 months.
