Ian,

Regardless of the big end being spun, you will still have to do machine work, pistons, rods, rings and service the head. Then you look at turbos so kiss 5k there away by the time you add dumps etc. What about cams that can be another 1500 - 2000 gone right there. And theres the small things like speedflow fittings, braided hose, brackets and fittings that swallow a lot of cash really quickly.

shane thats because you have set huge power figures for yourself and you spun a bigend, both of which I have not done.

25k doesnt include a new gearbox to handle such power or diffs, so realisticly to build a reliable gtr 25k will be the end price, no matter on power figure.

jesus christ i went to bed at 4:30 pm and just woke up ready to go clubbing thinking it was about 7:00pm :|

i lol at ur stupidity :(

spoken like a man who'se built a car himself :)

Still troy, I think with 20k you can build quite a reliable RB26 to put out 400 HP if you allready have the engine with money left to spare to respray the car.

u can do it cheaply, but dont expect it to hold together for too long. hence the price figures that go along with any type of decent and reliable build. You dont start realising how much it cots until ur half way trhough it, and then its too late.

All this talk about GTR's and the cost to rebuild them is scaring me....... I think I will stick to my RB25 and see what I can get out of it safely. Plus paint it. Plus a new turbo. Plus new injectors.

Still cheaper than the GTR and any needed rebuild.

And 90% of the time just as fun...if not more, response FTW (And before anyone says it yes GTRs even stock are laggy)
