1991 Skyline Gtr

Yes i hope so too. It is looking that way now!
And yes twins are amazing. You get so much more torque on twins than a single which is what I love the most. If you can, make sure you do good work to the head. I got the head ported and it cost me about $2500 to do so. That is probably the reason why I am putting down such great numbers on the -5's//////////

Yeah I have a ported head that's the onlt thing I kept from my last engine other then that everything has been changed I'm also having my engine built at light speed as one of my good friends works there so he talked me into it.


As for the hicas removal it is grate I have all of mine removed and your right it definitely frees up a lot of room. the most time consuming part I think was modifying the power steering pump and that was really easy.
Sweet car looking forward to seeing in completed!!

What shop buil your first engine (or 2)?

What your schedule looking like for build up and run? Next year? Just curious

Been a long summer without the car. Went and picked it up yesterday around 5pm. We did a race fuel tune on it (104 octane) and achieved 620awhp and 520awt. Took it to street legals for the first time in my life, also had never launched the car... First two runs my launch control wasnt building any boost, ran a 12.3 @ 126MPH (2.314 - 60 foot). second run was 12.0 @126MPH (2.134 - 6- foot), third run I got my boost on launch figured out and ran a 12.2 @ 124MPH (2.106 - 60 foot). Cam had done some tweaking and got me an additional 35 ft lbs of torque with the same hp numbers, except the car would start losing power at 7k rpm instead of about 7600 rpm. I was always finishing the 1/4mile in 4th gear at about 8200 rpm so on my last run, I was going to see what would happen if I could get it into 5th gear quick enough..... well I missed the shift into 5th twice and coasted across the finish line at 116 MPH (10mph slower than it should be) but at an 11.5 (1.902 - 60 foot) So I was very happy about that run. only got four runs in so with more seat time, I am hoping to get the car into the 10's which it is definitely capable of. Car was doing about 98-99 mph by the 1/8 mile, at 7.5 seconds

Congrats! 11 second street car is pretty serious!

[91SkylineGTR]

Thank friggen god. Lol spent half an hour reading this start to finish. Congrats, you should line up with your dad it'd be close.

[Dragon Humper]

Do you have GTS4 gears? I go through the traps at 128mph and i am only at about 7500rpm in 4th. It's a good start, get her up to 130mph through the traps and you got a low 10 in the bag.

Did that hood vent come with the car?

Jon.

[Dakota_gsx]

I have a route 6 gear set. They may be a hair different ratio than stock... Came with the car so I'm not sure. Rear end coulda been changes as well, once again not sure exactly. That was my first night out ever racing a fast car. I should be about 10.8 eventually I think. I know it would beat my dads now. He doesn't think it will be able to beat his Camaro though. 1967 RS just got completely restored top to bottom. Took the shop 4 years lol. He's running a small block all Alluminum 427. 440rwhp on that unit.

And yes that vent came on the car when I bought it. It's a stock hood, but the owner in Japan cut a hole in it and placed the vent.

[Dragon Humper]

Your dad's Camaro doesn't stand a chance.
