I decided to write this article on the back of a picture of a dyno read out my friend sent me. He was recently at a dyno shoot out and a R33 GT-R pulled 462KW. He sent it to me in amazement in regards to the power figure. Don’t get me wrong, that is an impressive...

In the early 2000’s modifying Japanese import cars was the thing. Forums like Nissan Silvia and Skylines Australia were awash with budding Japanese car owners and your status on the forum was based on the ride you had. More importantly, how powerful your ride was. It...

With all the mods I had on my 32 GT-R I needed a brain to power it all. After all a standard ECU wasn’t going to get the most out of my forged build and big single turbo set up. After some deliberation I chose to go against the popular choice of the Apexi PowerFC and...

While my brother was putting the front shaft of the GT-R together he noticed that the front right wheel bearing needed replacing. Since the car was already in pieces we had the great idea to just do both front wheel bearings. Bad move! Considering we didn’t have a...

This week we had some inroads to getting the parts we needed for my R32 GT-R. After an exhausting three months of searching for standard RB26 twin turbo old drains we finally came up with an alternative solution. We bought a flange from eBay for $18 for the pair...

Living in Australia there’s nothing much to be envious about when it comes to NZ. Sure, they have Lord of the Rings and great at Rugby. But we here in Australia laugh them off as our younger annoying brother. But when it comes to powerful Skyline GT-R’s NZ are the...

The first featured car for this blog just had to be my car. Naturally right? I’m not doing it to brag because I know there are millions of Skyline GT-R’s out there that are pulling more power, faster and better looking than my 32. But at the end of the day I am proud...

It makes sense for me to write first featured skyline GTR article about my GTR. A little bit of self-promotion I guess.I purchased my R33 GT-R about a year ago and I bought it because I just wanted something to drive as a daily. Considering my R32 GT-R is not looking...

Spotting a fake GT-R What would possess a person to put a GT-R badge on their skyline GTS, GTS-T or any non GT-R model Skyline? What type of person does that? If you are reading between the lines you probably sense that I really dislike a fake GT-R. I’ve always wanted...
