    JDM Cars

    hakosuka is a body shape They come in 2 and 4 doors auto or manual with a big choice of engines. Prices have gone silly over the last while on a lot of the desirable JDM cars So a 4 door auto hako is probably worth less than half of a 2000 Gt and way less than an original GTR hako (think of a...

    Turbo on N42 4 Cyl Engine

    It is clear (to me anyway) what you engine you have and this makes a huge difference to the answer most na engines need some alterations to run a meaningful turbo set up. compression ratio may be too high for a start and you would need to check your engine can handle the extra power. So ...

    What's the difference between Valeting and Detailing?

    Probably the difference is in the mind of the supplier ( and the cost )... valet is usually a general clean and polish. Detailing is the same but to a different level (according to a detailer I know)

    Struggling to Find Which car I should Buy

    Twin turbos can be either sequential or in parrallel . there is a world of difference. The noise will be the same with either. It is close to impossible without knowing a budget - they are so many options.

    2012 N53B30a 272 HP F11

    the mind is a wonderful thing and can easily turn minimal gain into a noticeable difference. The fact is if you just change an air filter the difference will be negligable on a dyno. Howver if you have a self learning ecu a reset could make a difference - they dont only learn for the better...

    HOW CAN I FIND HOW MANY OWNERS A PLATE NUMBER HAS

    The number of owners is recorded for vehicles but not for plates.

    Tiny engine, insane power

    Now I am all for doing crazy engine builds but i am afraid your aims are just too optomistic. First 750 just wont happen with 1.2 litres and I cant see 500 or even 400. The limiting factor is air flow not materials - If you stick with a normal production 1.2 engine it just wont physiocally...

    Converting Automatic to Manual - Balancing the Engine

    putting rbs into he earlier nissans is a well documented mod. Most use an rb26 but a neo install will go the same way. Of courseif you want power you can go rb30. Most "difficult " is wiring in an ecu to run the motor but as said bfore it is a swop that has been fully documented a fair few times...
