Hey guys I've been watching and studying for sometime but i still don't have the answer so i thought i'd ask and hopfully with enough expertise out there you can help illustrate what might be an approporiate start.
I'm importing an GTR 33 (though Imports101 in WA nissans especially R33 compliance is so easy for them ) with the titled parts (T88H 34D with Tomei 2.7 kit) I mean plus the needed support bits (oil cooler, big intercooler, 1000ccs, surge tank and multiple fuel pumps etc) probably cross mission too.
But when it gets here I'm not sure what work must be done when buying a second hand beast (by this i mean highly modified). It's supposed to be running 800-1000hp but we all know about hp figures hehe. I have already ordered a custom (JUN copied with bolstered ram shaft) plenum.
My understanding would be
1. Check stoker kit, shot peen crank?, change conrod bolts?, balance conrods, polish pistons?
2. check dump pipe for hughness, exhaust etc
3. Check T88 maybe high flow turbo?
4. what else?
Please keep in mind budget so some sort of order of what to do would be cool, I'm juiced to get this because this time last year I almost bought a JUN 2.7 R34 but missed it.
If you wold like a look http://www.centralmotor.net/web/detail.php?num=152
So do i check everything or just some things if so what is an absolute must, to be checked what is something that can wait or isn't too important?

PS outcome is daily drive drag/street car
