its amazing the response, its as if people want this project to fail, for you info Magic Mike i already measured the engine bay of a stripped R32 Gtr measured all the relevant distances from the surface of the bell housing area and the center of the flywheel and the front diff of the rb26 i bought a r35 bell housing so i can get the bolt pattern got quotes for all the work involved found all the guys to make the parts, found the engine, its in another state, and before i waste that guys time with a list of measurements i need, i thought i would ask the experienced guys on this forum, i wanted to know if it has been done, or if anybody knew of actual hurdles, all im getting is people telling me im stupid which i said was the case in my first post so what your saying is, i should know everything i need to know before i come online and bother you, i thought this was an exchange of ideas and experience

well your right about the RB being a good choice, but having said that, i think its been done so much we know exactly what will happen i can even go online and find a dyno chart for the same turbo and cam setup ill prob end up choosing if we dont push the boundaries we wont progress, just a little background on myself, i design and build products for a living, in my life, i always want to do something different, some times i win and its all fun, sometimes it explodes and we have to learn from the mistake

wow, judgmental much but your right, those hammers are tricky ill go watch a youtube video and see if i can get it down pat

if i am going to do up and engine it would have to be the vr38 its the easiest to get stupid amounts of power from the VR38 engine is happy pumping out 500 HP all day every day on stock internals, some even say it can be pushing 600hp at the wheels it comes on boost very quickly has VVT and all the modern crap that will let it smoke other cars off the line i want a very usable car that is a monster street racer the GOAL, the aim of the project is to beat 1000cc motorcycles like the CBR1000RR my mate is getting smug and needs to be taken down a peg the reason im looking at this engine, it has a integrated front diff already in the right spot and if we want to do any stroking and forging, 12k can buy me a 4.6L stroker kit that amount of low down torque would make any motorbikes i race fall over with fear on the start line

wow thats a lot of info well ok, it HAS to be AWD or its not worth it, the diff ratios are the easy part, and CV joints are much more forgiving than people think, the diff and hubs can be misaligned a bit and work fine, the whole point of the CV is the flexible transfer of the power, they have a range they can work with the biggest question is will it fit, so jay-rod is right, we have to get the tape measure out and i think people forget the "waste of time/money" expression was used before, on people who wanted to get 1000hp out of a 2.6L and now guys are doing that all day every day. in my mind a car with the same engine as a R35 but 200-300 kgs lighter is a MASSIVE incentive just a small increase in boost on the stock engine some tuning and we might crack 10 seconds and the engine would be relaxed and comfy so it will last longer, then if it worked, a big IF, people would know that its possible and try other interesting builds

Hey Guys before you all tell me this is stupid and impossible, i already know im an idiot, my wife reminds me every day money is not a problem, im definitely not rich but i can afford to spend a bit on this project i have a R32 GTR, i wanted to do a build and lots of the local tuners were not happy to work on stroked RB30s, they say they will not hold the low end torque im looking for they say the crank girdle will blow out, regardless, ive given up on that idea and instead of just building the RB26 i wanted to see how silly i could be i found a local guy who has a VR38 for sale, im happy to pay the price he is asking 22K (complete engine turbos diff loom intercoolers) i found a guy who will make the adapter plate for the bell housing and engine to fit together i found a ECU to get it running (HALTECH) i found a experienced tech guy to fit the ECU i found a guy who will make me the custom drive shafts needed, and the front end "tail shaft" i found the 2 throttle bodies that i need to make this work (it needs to be a cable system) my question is, has anybody done this, i searched and only found a 200sx, but no skylines i would love to hear from someone with experience in this area, im sure this has been attempted before i cant be the only idiot

hey mate, at what point in the build did i talk about reducing costs? or being on a budget for that matter, i asked what i should do about a gearbox,

big thanks Anfanee i honestly did not know what to do with the gearbox, and ive never seen that gearset before and that set is really good (smooth and quiet) from what im told, i dont like the idea of a "dog box" or a sequential i want a regular manual car, that i can drive every day if i want to, no crunching and jerking so with your help i quickly found this link, the guy from just jap says the gears will hold 800hp ish http://justjap.com/os-giken-cross-gear-set-nissan-bnr32.html but i need to get a working R33 GTR gearbox to install the parts in , thats where im stuck i rang around, there are none that i could find 2nd hand the only other option i have is to get a R34 GTR gearbox and hope it holds, but im thinking the gearset might be stronger, anyone have any experience

thanks for the paint code just found a guy who will mix it for $200/L and says i will need 4 L for the the outside and engine bay does that sound right?

hmmmm, makes sense to have a goal, i guess 800HP at the wheels sounds good, i wonder how much the gearbox will take, lol

definitely like the blue paint and would love to keep it, i just need to track down the colour, as for the restore or balls to the wall, im not chasing a actual power figure, but i want to build a very capable street racer, low lag, lots of power, (essentially the impossible dream) i rather have 700 HP and less lag instead of 1000 hp and a lag monster has anyone used this turbo before, ive been told with the 3.4L engine it should be making 20psi by 3000rpm, and for the manifold, i just checked for a steam pipe one, that looks really good, thanks for the tip

Now comes the fun part im keen on a pretty involved rebuild and i wanted to get some advice the build list (so far) rub back and respray $3500 Rb30 Bottom End $500 RB34 Stroker kit (pistons crank and rods) $5600 borg warner efr 9180 Turbo $3700 Brian Crower BC0230 Valve Springs $500 Hks Camshaft 272 10.2 LIFT STEP 2 $1000 Headwork port and polish $1500 GFB Wastegate $700 ebay single turbo exhaust manifold $700 4 inch turbo back exhuast $1800 Haltech plug in ECU and flex module $2500 im still unsure what fuel setup to install and i know there will be many many many other parts i will need (happy for any advice) im not chasing any particular power figures i just want a good strong car that will be "reliable" any help will be appreciated

Hi Guys, i just got my first Skyline, and this is my first post on this site, big thanks to all you guys, i did alot of reading on this site before i decided to do this build This is the Car Its a 1991 R32 Gtr grabbed it of ebay from a retired policeman in Newcastle its not running, blown turbos, we towed it back to Sydney and are now in the process of bringing it back to life
