Welcome to Skylia Journal

For all of you that followed me here from the old website: kudos...ok, moving on. For the noobs: the old website was actually a required college project that I used to keep track of this project. I was very surprised when random people started to visit and leave me messages. So now that my free college web hosting has expired, I've decided to continue the site in a blog for the fans.

Introduction
I am one of the few batshit-crazies who thought it would be a good idea to put a Skyline engine into a Silvia body, thus creating a Skylia.

I've been harboring this sick fetish since 2002 and it shows no signs of fatigue. Slowly but surely I've obtained parts: car, engine, and other useful items. I've made lots of mistakes, spent lots of money, and kicked many inanimate objects/people, but it will all be worth it when it's over.

Parts So Far:

• 1995 Nissan 240sx (S14)
• 1997 R33 RB26DETT with harness, ecu and AWD transmission
• Apexi Power FC and controller
• RB25DET RWD tranny and oil pan
• RB26 to 240sx mount kit from McKinney Motorsports
• S15 projector headlights
• R32 taillights
• Wiring Diagram Manual RB26
• Stock RB26 Air Flow Meters (a bitch to find)
• Stock RB26 AFM connectors (courtesy of my Aussie friend Andrea)
• The wrong AFM connectors
• US drivers side RB26 engine mount bracket
• Windshield weather strip

Still Need:

• Turbo Timer
• Tires/Wheels
• Driveshaft for swap (McKinney Motorsports)
• Intercooler and piping
• Single disk clutch
• 300ZX front brake upgrade
• Exhaust
• Racing Seats/Harness

Goals:

• 11 second quarter mile on stock internals

I managed to sell off one of the wrong AFM connectors and the stock KA24 motor out of the car but as yet haven't been able to find a buyer for the AWD Skyline transmission. Even if I did I'd still be eating Ramen for six months to afford all this crap.

For a while the project stalled because I was having great difficulty finding certain parts for the engine. Now that I've got all the necessary stuff, the car will cease to be a giant paperweight and updates will be more than once a month.
