How do you know it's an 8 sec Skyline?

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

If you noticed that I said "build up" pics you'd realize that it's an "8 second project" But knowing what I know i'm sure it'll find the 8sec zone soon enough...

so uhhhh all those parts look quite expensive.

Post by **PalmerWMD** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Kurt,

sounds really kick ***!Can you post pics?Who did you use to get car into US?

Fred..

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Hey yeswepromise, I will be the first to admit that this project isn't for the budget conscious. But my goal was to have the fastest "street" Skyline in the States!

Palmerwmd, The car isn't exactly finished, still waiting on 1 part. All I need is an oil pump gasket, can you believe that?As soon as I get the gasket the motor will be put back together and i'll post some pics and dyno numbers.

Hey Mr. Scientist that's the best news I heard all day! As for palmerwmd thanks for the interest in my car, even if your the only one who cares(boohoohoo J/k).

Kurt-

Post by **themadscientist** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

hopefully they have it on the shelf, seeing as how the RBs have the same oil pump outline it should fit any RB which makes me optomistic they will have it. Which 26 are you using; R32, R33, or R34?

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

10Second: The car is sweet, youll have to get some pics of the engine too!

TMS: I think he would he using the R33, I mean he did get that car so wouldn't it be that 26

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

The engine is an RB26 in an R33 body, madscientist already knows the motor. I don't know if you guys know this, the madscientist is always willing to help a fellow nissan enthusiast out. Above and beyond the call of duty, thanke Madscientist. I really appreciate everybodies thoughts on my project. Thanks alot guys.

That is the car of my dreams!!(besides a 911 GT2). Awesome project that you have there. Just for kicks, how much is this project costing you?

Post by **myRed240** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Do you have any pics of your motor?

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

myred240, do you want to know the cost of parts? Or the entire build up? All I can say is if I told you, you'd probably think I was nuts. But a round figure for "just parts" retail comes out to 30+. Sorry I don't have any pictures of the motor just yet. Just picture a fully built HKS drag motor with a HUGE twin turbo set up and thats pretty much it. Here's the turbo link http://www.hksusa.com/images/?id=1168

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Everybody take some time to applaud our friendly neighborhood moderator THEMADSCIENTIST. Because of him my insane RB motor will be finished sometime in the next 2 weeks. Thanks Man

Wow this is really impressive stuff.

i dont know much about getting sponsors, and Im sure you arent worried about money seeing as though this project has already costed you a ton, but did you ever think about writing to HKS and showing them what youve done with their products? It may be worth something.

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

When I was going over this project a year ago, I gave sponsors some thoughts. But the truth is HKS dosen't give a sh*t about me, they're just not the sponsoring type. I do use all their products, but only because they're top notch. But if you know somebody who works for them "wink wink" tell them J/K.

Well Kawasaki-san should be down here for his Dryhopp drag series in June, hopefully I will have something to enter! Send me some video of the car and contact information and if he comes I will put it in his hand.

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Now by Kawasaki-San you mean Tetsuya? If I remember correctly he pilots every "Balls out" drag machine HKS builds? That would be great if you could, but don't go out of your way for me. The oil pump gaskets were more than enough!

Thanks again,Kurt-

Post by **themadscientist** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

That's who I mean. I'm always joking with him, he's very cool. It's no trouble, I'll be there and if he's there I am going to go BS with him so I don't mind dropping a Demo tape on him.

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

Haha, as long as it's no trouble then by all means do it. But you've already done more than enough. I always remember those who have helped along the way. You don't have a shop that you affiliate with? Or if you fix other peoples cars do they have a name for you? I'd put it on my car as a "minor contributer" J/K I really will put it on though.

Post by **themadscientist** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

I help anyone I can, it's just how I am. Just whoop some *** when you bring that beast out.

Post by **10secondr33** » Fri Apr 18, 2003 10:07 pm

I have so many people to knock off their pedestals, i'm not sure if this summer has enough days left(hehe)?
