Ha man, im only like 60% sure im getting one, and im not even close to a spoiled little bitch if im paying half and im paying my parents the other half back eventually, besides, go on terra2imports-the most iv seen for a skyline on terra2 is like 16 grand. Soo i plan on getting one around ten grand and puttin stuff in it.

your profile says you're 14. but I'm going to go with the "15" that you said, just cause.

no 15 year old kid can affoard half an imported skyline, unless you mow lawns at 200$ a pieace, you're either lying to us, which is possible. or spoiled. and if you're only "60% sure" you're getting it. That's still ridiculous. also, being 16 and just getting your license, then buying a top performance car, is possibly the dumbest thing I've seen on pinkbike yet.

Cheers!

and the only thing thatll make a tuner go fast

flag AmirB (Jan 13, 2009 at 13:21)
actually, 2gzgteT will be fast too, also an rb26dett, sr20det, ej20/22/25t, 4g36T and the list goes on... some of these engines are easier to tune and cheaper to tune than a v8 and you can reach to 1000HP with them too

flag BikerBaillie (Jan 13, 2009 at 14:27)
you can reach 1000 with the skyline engine....

flag PedalUpBombDown (Jan 13, 2009 at 14:57)
That would be the RB26DETT. At least it would have been in an R33 GTR as shown.

flag catryder17 (Jan 15, 2009 at 15:47)
actually, stock skyline engine with jsut a chip, rad exchange and piston change you can reach well above 1200hp.

flag PedalUpBombDown (Jan 15, 2009 at 17:40)
No you can't. If you want 1200+ HP out of a Skyline engine, you neeto fully build just about every part on and in it. Everything from a race blueprinted block that has also been stengthened, to new, much bigger turbo's pushing a total of around 25-35 PSI of boost. You also need to very hevily strengthen the whole drivetrain if you want it to live anywhere into the boost.

flag zzoot (Jan 22, 2009 at 23:19)
Yea but turbos kinda suck, superchargers are much better because they put out power constantly and with turbos you have to wait for the boost to rise and you never get a full charge its just a quick little spurt of power, but depending on the PSI and number of turbos it could be fairly even to a supercharger. Just sayin.

I've been seeing LS1's around for a while now, even in 180SX/240SX/S13s. How much does the swap cost though?

flag mike36 (Jan 14, 2009 at 3:41)
ya but u have more power strokes with the v8 wen one is almost done another is allready startin
wich gives it constant power not like a 4 banger or a 6 cylinder

flag mike36 (Jan 14, 2009 at 3:45)
so ya a 4 cylinder can get up to 1000 horses but a v8 with 1000 will still be faster and more efficient (not fuel efficient) and faster (drivers aside)

uhhh, its only the most efficient and most powerful and moddable v8 on the market, not to mention it can take a beating, thats all.... not to mention its upgraded zr1 model corvette currently holds the track record at nurburgring in its class(which I wouldnt be suprised that a skyline is in the same class)
