Newman's E30/Skyline swap thread

[Iain]

Cant wait for someone in Australia to slap RB26 goodness into one.

More boost + more vids = :D

someone already has - just about every rb/jz combo has been done

[newman]

They say 2". I'd say 1.5" It depends how you mount them, also they can be heated and formed very easily.

[Burnera]

Newman,
about the fender flares from IE, about how much clearance did you gain from the stock 'flare'?

[DTM190]

Good work Newman, great to see it going. I love the color, everything, I might paint mine the same. j/k

I see the flaming has slowed since it is now running, lol.

still cant believe your in buffalo, AND i randomly ran into you out of all things

haha must of been pretty funny seeing some random kid on a blue crotch rocket yelling "i know you! i know this car!!"

haha good meeting ya man, sounded sooo nasty taking off, cant wait to see what it can do, gotta definitely get a ride in it sometime for sure :)

Hahaha, i figured it was someone from nyspeed at first, it was nice to meet you man!

[newman]

The car handles pretty well... if anything, it'll see roadcourse tracks, not something lame like autocross... however, if I have a track day, i'd probably drive the lotus...

Ha, sounds like quite a random story!

[Be30mer]

very nice. I know i might be one of the few, but I kind of like the color. Its like neon and military tough at the same time. It makes the car seem strong and mighty, but still agile and swift. nice job newman :up:

Wouldn't hold your breath, sounds like its a donut machine

It doesn't make more power then any other turbo E30 on here. Now if it gets the boost turned up, then he'll need to pedal it around lol.

[Stephen]

Newman, I'd like to know if this car will see time at the track.

[87e30]

yeah, I agree, no on the painted flares.

Yes on different wheels and coils though. ;)

Track vids would be cool.

I like this:

[golde30]

yer vid says innovative, is this the same company that makes wideband O2 sensors?

[Iain]

No, but it was kind of like "NO SHIT?!? REALLY". You should also point out that my car has tires, and after some careful scrutinize may or may not be made out of metal.

You keep raging against the machine, poppette.
