ROB Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 there was a programme recently about a guy who had bought a skyline le mans from japan( apparently only 5 in the UK) but after about a month the engine was shot as it had not been mapped to uk petrol and all the pistons were scrap etc - the repair bill was 11K but they reckon it was 800hp and after running in and fine tuning it would be 850 - sounds like a load of toss to me but i might b wrong - your thoughts please.

Tony Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I can't see that, unless it's had a TDi style of rebuild. But then 11K is cheap if all the internals were also upgraded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 80 were built worldwide for Le Mans homologation requirements and they were all the same colour blue. 850 bhp sounds a bit far fetched...it was an R33!! Best I can find is http://www.neweraimports.com/Nebusis/pictu....RacingBlue.pdf 465 bhp at the fly with uprated turbos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
