    S13, Hatch, 1jz-gte

    1JZ into S13 is actually EASIER than RB into one and that is already pretty easy, lol. I have a JZ in my R32 and love it. I have had RB20 and 25s in a BUNCH of S chassis, and I would never use another RB again.... 1-2JZ is the way to go. No more worrying about breaking crap all the time... (I...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    I'm bored so I am posting bout nothing. Yeah, lots of ppl look at the skyline badge (been off of this one for a while now) and say ohhh, I thought it was a skyline, its a silvia. LOL. Car has finally had a bit of trouble, but just a random sensor going bad or something so I am not...

    I am 99% sure AFM is not MK4... I was able to source one from a 1997 SC400 and the part numbers were identical. Ingnitor will be the same as lots of stuff. certain yrs of IS but the CHEAP J-yar find is from cetain yrs of avalon. I got mine from a 1996 I beleive. (MAYBE it was a 1998)...

    Question about how YOUR R154 feels....

    Question about how YOUR R154 feels....

    Arrrrrr. Yeah, I guess I will start looking for a cheap R-154 around here and swap when I put another clutch in. (I will be honest if I seel it here ofcourse). I'm using the "oil from the heavens" gear oil that comes in bulk out of tanks at toyota dealerships. My room mate works there and...

    Question about how YOUR R154 feels....

    Is this the right place for this? My R154 is not in a MKIII anymore, but I'm pretty sure that is where she came from. I come from the world of nissan transmissions where even when sloppy as poo, they still go in the gears easily...till the gears go boom atleast. This R-154 feels really...

    XTD Clutch scam!

    I only read to about page six and then skipped here to post... I have bought an XTD Stg 3 for an RB20 application (same as NA 300ZX) and I can absolutely confirm that the PP I received was a STOCK PP that had been painted. It was a knockoff brand of stock clutch aswell (exdy is real nissan...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    Some pics from an event I did in the rain this weekend. They are the first pics that show the rear over fenders on the car. I just cut the qtrs and slapped em on in the black gel-coat or whatever they came in. Looks like apretty good match, even up close. There is this other weird/neat pic of...

    Hiya. I dont drive a supra, but my junk is supra powered...

    Howdy. My name is Kiely (I'm a guy, I just got the short straw on names), and I'm originally a S.C. native. I live/work out of Baltimore M.D. for the most part nowadays though. I have built/owned a whole crap load of RB powered S chassis cars, and a couple of old skylines. My current car is a...

    HI!!! Excited new owner! Pics included

    Aw, that interior aint so bad. I normally dont like blue inside (guessing thats what yer putting new stuff in to change), but I think blue interior on that color is pretty nice lookin'. I was expecting rat chewage and huge holes. A couple hours of nit-picking cleaning and that thing would be...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    It's neat to start learning little bits and peices of more serious info about another make of car after only looking at nissan stuff for so long. I catch myself reading about things like you just posted all the time now (what suspension parts interchange between diff toyota models, etc.) I...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    The sound of THAT car in THAT video was half the reason I wanted this danged 1J to start with! ...now I will prob never have a screamer to get the full affect though... Haha, cressida angle is bind moggling. I hope to get close to that with all this S13 modified knuckle foolishness. I...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    Hahaha, thanks Ben. Yep, I have a medium single on this 1J stock. From what I can decipher, it seems like a similar to but slightly smaller turbo than a CT-26. It also has the damned ceramic impeller mess like the twins, and my stock RB20 turbo.... so I am scared to go over 12-13lbs with...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    Yep, thats the suckiest part of the skyline. I have done EVERY mod possible besides diceing up the strut towers and converting to S13 stuff...... and the car still has LESS mechanical angle than a STOCK s13 with no angle improving mods. I plan to eleminate the whole upper A-arm design up...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    I know alot of guys on here chuckle at the torque of a 1J, but coming from a 2.0 RB, it has LOTS! In a 3000 plus pound car, an RB20 will not speed up in 5th gear unless you get into boost...no, I'M SERIOUS. I would have to put the car in 4th gear to accelerate ANY on flat ground in 5th gear...

    R32 Skyline with a 1J VVTI

    Howdy! This is the owner of that abomination up there. Glad yall dont hate it. Most forums dont really take to it much. The car did not go from stock straight to 1J status, it was still RB20 powered when yall (levirolla) saw it at HIN in N.C. I loved my old RB20s (I have had em in...
