skyryn3, thanks for the info, i think those are some great ideas. I was looking at buying a N1 block for about 1500US, i located it near Tokyo so shipping would not be too expensive. I found JE Pistons and Eagle rods for about 1200US. Do you think the Stock Crank for the RB26 could handle 500WHP every day without worrying too much? Also, i like doing my own work, i want to build the car myself(for pride reasons) If i have the pistons and rods balanced, do you think i would have any problems putting the internals together myself, is it that difficult??? If it is, i suppose i would just have them put the internals and the head on and i would do the rest. 2BNVS, Yes i do, but most of them are girls and wouldnt be able to translate very well considering they dont know what a turbo is, i know isnt that crazy? I found some 2530 turbos for 500 bucks, BUT and here is the huge but, the guy that had them on his car, drove the car like he stole it. So i dont know how beat up they are. Is there a shop in australia i can send them too to get rebuilt??? Thanks again guys, i can see my car getting faster very soon.

Sure i can guilt toy, ill send over my Japanese books to you, now all you have to do is study almost non stop for a year, speak fluent Japanese, buy a plane ticket to Japan, and well and thats about it.... In the bigger cities here getting a hot Japanese Girl is about that easy, and the fact that your into Japanese cars like the Skyline actually help, so... When can i expect you?

Just to add some stuff for you guys, I live in Japan and so parts are alot cheaper, if you need something that you really cant find in australia or is really expensive, give me a PM and ill see what i can do.

First and foremost i just want to express respect for you guys on this forum, if i didnt find this site i would be lost when it comes to working on my car. Second. I know i could find all the necessary info by searches but i would like to debate some options and decide what is better, so please dont turn this into "DO a search thread" I guess i should tell you guys a little about me, I live in Japan currently and i have a 1999 R34 GTR Vspec. I absolutely love my car and at this point i have a decent amount of upgrades. I have an Upgraded HKS Intercooler, HKS Oil cooler, Aragosta Suspension, Upgraded Ignition, AP racing 6 piston brakes, Kakimoto Exhaust, Upgraded Intake and filters and thats about it. I am looking for the 500WHP range and would like to get some opinions on how to do that as reliable as possible. I only drive the car about 100-150KM a week. I have just ordered a HKS Dual Plate clutch(my stock one is slipping) the car has 64000 KM on it now. I just bought a Head and cams that are used and supposedly the head has been port and polished but there are no flow numbers for it, so i need to get a reputable shop in australia to send the head to, to get the head flow tested. I know what your going to say, Why buy a head that you dont know, Well... I got a really, really good price, so in my opinion it is worth the risk. I would do the work in Japan, but, its hard to get shops that speak english and as good as my Japanese is, its not nearly good enough to explain that i need detailed work done to my car. Lastly, Yes my car will, and can be dynoed, so i will be putting a Power FC and taking it to a shop, I hope my sign language is good enough to explain DYNO, but ill figure something out because i dont think i can send it to australia for that one as easy as a head, so whatever you guys suggest i will have it tuned. I think that is it, i really appreciate any help in advance, and i hope that this thread comes up with some great info. Thanks again guys, and a little off topic, but i want to plan a vaction in Sydney next year, any good places i should visit? Thanks again, Jason

The title pretty much says it all. I would like to preferably buy a NISMO intake plenum. I want a new one but depending on the price and condition i would consider a used one also. The reason i would like a NISMO is because it comes with the throttle boddies as the Greddy does not(correct me if i am wrong). I found one on NENGUN.com for about 1500 but i am convinced i can save a couple hundred dollars somewhere. The people on this forum seen to be very resourceful. I am new to this forum so i really would appreciate all the help i could get. I just got my 99 GTR V-Spec and the guy before me did so many upgrades it is insane. But now that the car is mine i want to continue to spoil her. thanks in advance everyone. jay
