Hello from Australia .
1st bit of an introduction . I have been racing a 1986 Nissan Skyline station wagon at our annual salt lake event . Have competed 4 times and drove the car to and from the event , a 3000 mile round trip . This car is also my daily driver and work hack for my business . I hold the F/PRO record @ 140 mph and the F/GC record @ 141 mph in the DLRA .
Have taken the wagon to the drags and have done a best of 14.1 @ 97 mph . Me i,m 55 yrs not grown up type person .
NOW the new project E/GC
Same sort of car , 1989 Nissan Skyline station wagon ( rust free ).
I have bought a front half Nissan Cima with a 4100 cc V8 . Has all the goodies as standard like 32 valve , quad cam ,titanium valves with roller rockers, 6 bolt mains , forged crank and rods , variable valve timing and of course fuel injection , all alloy head block and sump . Sposed to put out around 280 hp stock .
As you can guess its going in the wagon . Have been doing a fair amount of research and questioning those in the know on these engines ( mainly guys on the NICO website ) . My biggest challenge is the wiring up as i wish to use the stock ecu and fuel injection . Have received wiring diagrams from a guy in Alabama ( would be lost with out it )
In 2 weeks time my lady will be away in New Zealand for a week , SO i am going to close the doors of my fabricating business and stab the V8 into the wagon .
