Stang pics

Let me know what you think. I had to wait for a sunny day, two months later I got one:D

Looks great! Love the color!

thats the color I want my t-bird, defentally looks nice :D

very nice. looks like almost the same color as my 84. is the middle of the hood painted black? looks like it in that pic. nice rims too. the car looks great

Nice looking car. Is that the original paint?

You can look at the other tread for some more pics. I was told that the paint is a corvett color, but I have not really looked that hard to find out what it is, since I plan on doing the body last.

Its a nice color, when its dim it looks purple.

Looks really good!!
:cool:

I Have A Buddy With An 87 Gt....same Exact Color.... Its Midnight Blue Used By Gm On The Vettes! So Props To Whoever Told You That. Its A Very Nice Machinge

I know its an old post, but here are some more pics of my Stang.

Nice Skyline! I just love a nicely painted Blue Fox Stang

Beautiful shade of blue.

Nice ride bro,love the cobra wing!

One of my closest friends who has more toys than me has recently purchased a 93 Cobra. Thats all I've heard about for 8 years even he has bought modified a 92 LX conv, a 69 Blazer 4X4 with leather interior, a Honda 250R, a YamahaR6, a Yamaha Raptor which he still has and has 15k invested. Most of the drivetrain is stock but it has low miles and alot of tuning by Pahnandle Performance a custom 2 stage chip and a NOS stageI nitrous kit has made it hard to beat on the street for most of the locals, no track times and off the top of my head I can't quote any dyno numbers. I give him a visit soon for some pics and accurate info. The color is pretty close to my car but when you see them side by side his has an obivous orange tint to it. I still have friends come up to me and tell me they saw me at his house. Even though we have diff rims, wing, ground effects and badges alot of people still can't tell the difference.

can u list the mods of the skyline & mustang. btw wats it like havin a stang in england. it just seems like that havin a mustang is a rare thing in europe.

Nice ride. I just bought a set of those rims 17x9 cobra R rims. They really set it off. :smokin:

Your 5oh must turn ALOT of heads in England bro,even just due to the sound of it alone!

Yes, driving through the small villages turns a lot of heads.

u kno blue is the best :naughty:

Yep, its a very nice Blue. At dusk it looks almost purple.

I forgot to add, my Black GTR has Floating Rotors.

i love the flat black old school hood. dont see that to often these days. gives is a boss kick :) !

Skyline...what's with the taillights? They look like '85 or '86, not '87. And I have a '87 :sunglasse

I bought the car that way, do you have a pic of your tail lights?

how much boost does the GTR run on pump gas? ever think of doing alcohol injection or porpane injection to run more boost on pump gas??

1 Bar, but the RB26 is a more effecient engine, so it would be like you pushing 1.4 or 1.5 bar.

I do not want my GTR to be a lag monster. I am all about driveability when it come to the GTR.

No need for alch or propane injection. The car is not going to be utlized for that.

I thought propane only really worked on desiels?

I work at Caterpillars proving grounds in peoria and we played around with a propane injection kit for a c-9 today. A propane injection system for a Diesel works because the propane has a lower ctane rating than diesel fuel. So when you inject propane into A dieselfuel mixture the propane acts somewhat like a catayst. It does a more complete burn compared to a diesel without propane.


However... Propane on a gasoline engine is rich in octane and is a naural anti deatonation. I works just like alcohol.

Finally got my dirty ass car washed today, so here are a few up to date photos.

Sweet ride parrish.

Hypsi87,

How big of jetting do you use for the propane?

I personally do not have a propane kit. Wanna get one bad though. But people I know run anywhere from a number 36 jet to a 55 jet with 125 PSI of pressure.

I take it, it would be like a dry shot?

Skyline are u experiencing any lag on ur GTR. if u are would u consider a sequential turbo setup.

Sequential turbo setups are for Supras, not GTRs:p

Its not really a question of lag with the GTR, its more of a question of a good usable power band. I don't floor the car all the time, so I would like a little better partial trottle response.

Why do most of the Supra guys, go for a single?

Oh yea no fuel added.

Someone please explain the use of propane to me.

that is tru bout supras being converted to single turbo. most supras ive seen on the street and in magazines have been converted into single turbo. ive also seen a few RX-7's turned into single turbo as well. since ive never seen a skyline before on the road ive seen most skylines converted to single turbo aswell. but in alot of british and japanese magazines they keep the TT.

Most GTRs will stay TT, because there are a lot of direct bolt on turbos that are made for the GTR. 2510, 2530, 2540, GT-SS, and the GT-RS. All are a little different, but they will be a lot cheaper than going with a single, since you do not have to change any of the piping.

Someone please explain the use of propane to me.

Ok I run an Alcohol injection kit on my car. What that does is when the boost hits the preset ammount. (for me 13PSI) The alcohol pump kicks on and it forces the alky through nozzles at like 80 PSI and creates a mist of alky in the air charge. (Nozzles are placed after the intercooler.) When the hot air hits the cloud of alky the alky hits the hot air and evaporates. Sucking ALOT of heat out of the compressed air charge.(The same principal as A/C) Also alcohol is a naural anti deationat, and rich in octane. Without alky injection I can run 17 PSI on my car with 1.2 degrees of timing being taken out of my setup by the computer. With alky I can run 24 PSI without any timing being removed by the computer. This is on pump gas 93 octane.

Now the downfall with an alky kit it that the alcohol that they run in alky engines is cheap but extremely hard on metals. Denatured alcohol is not nearly as corssive but it can cost anywhere from 7 to 10 dollars a gallon, and you spray alot of alcohol. Propane does the same thing that alcohol does but at half the use and cost. The only reason that I don't have a propane kit it because the accuall kit is very costly compared to a SMC alcohol kit.

SkylineUSA... you have any pics of your R32 with the sbf swap?

very tru. the 3037S are good turbos aswell.

That is cool, but it shows how much I know about turbos. I see one on my car someday soon, the power gains are unreal and so is the coolness factor. My only problem is that I know very little about them so far. I've got alot of research to do before I open the checkbook. There are a few blower cars around town but I've never even seen a turbo Mustang on the street, only pro cars on the track. A 8 sec turbo car sounds more like a jet car coming down the track. What does a street car sound like?

I am at stopping point right now, lack of funds. Need to sell a few cars, before I can start again.

I need a TKO, and I am think of going with a Ford 9" in the back. I might tackle the 9" when I take the car back to the states.

very tru. the 3037S are good turbos aswell.

Way too big, too much lag. You have to do too much work to get those turbos to work, plus it would not be very streetable.

Bigger cam, port work, valves, fuel, tranny, etc. With 2510s, GT-SS, and 2530s they are almost plug and play.

The GT-RS, and 25-40s require a lot of work, but not as much as set of 3037s.

Just think of the cool factor when I get done with my R32 GTR, with a big ass V8, T-76, with N2O coming out of a single exhaust pipe. Its going to be way cool:)

Street car sound way cool, just a huge sucking sound from under the hood at WOT. If you run a Mark VII fan, you will hardly hear the turbo at idle.

Not my car, so i have no say in what to do, but *I* would ditch the 9" idea. Heavier rear, Eats up more power. Im sure the power you'll be making wont destroy a decently setup 8.8 (33-spline axles, girdle, nice posi unit/spool).

My company/team car we run a 8.8 in, and have been 8.59 @ 162 sofar, with a stock suspension, 3200lbs mustang. Being powered by a 418ci sbf nitrous combo.


Just my :2cents:

Thats just it. I have a 9" 3.50 Nodular sitting in my garage, so I figure why spend more money on a 8.8?

Wait, 8.5 with the stock suspension. You mean stock, or close to stock. That is impressive

Whats the weight difference, 40lbs? 8.8 and the 9?

well ur rite there not streetable. 3037s are huge. i would only use those turbos if my car was a straight up drag racer. btw are there are dragstrips in england.

Performance comes first but you just can't deny the "cool factor". Like when some unsespecting challenger revs up at a light and I just purge the N2O. The expressions are priceless. This unearthly creation you have in the works,.....do tell. You have my attention with this one, I have to know how you fit all those cubes under that hood.

Yes, there are a few 1/4 strips. One about 2 hours from the house, the other one is about 4.

There are a butt load of road courses around here.

Silverstone is only an hour away, that place is huge.

3037s on a 393 stroker would be pretty streetable, hmmmmm :evillol:

I have taken all the measurements, that is why I put the block into the engine bay to get a better idea. I will have to make a lot of custom parts, of course. Like you said, the "COOL FACTOR" will be awesome.

There is plenty of room for it to fit. The GTR engine bay is very big, and get this, a 393, big turboed engine is lighter than the stock RB26DETT. Go figure that one out :evillol:

wait ur droppin a 393 in ur GTR rite? well y the hell not u already modded ur RB26 try sumthin new. and btw wat cc are ur injectors on ur modded GTR. and are ur downpipes and turbo manifolds stock.

My GTR is stock, well sort of. It has Mines 3 1/2" Exhaust, Apex Air filters, Blitz Boost Controler, and R34 GTR Turbos. So, its pretty much stock, which I like since it will last longer in this tune.

I am droppping th 393 in the Blue GTR I bought for a little over 1k. It was basically a stripped car when I got it, so it was perfect for the transplant.

It depend on what exhaust you have on your car. all I have is a 3" down pipen and an ATR muffler. In my car all you hear is the turbo. Ill try to get some audio later.
