if you are looking for making it turbo in future it is not bad idea to buy an auto gts4 for cheap and swap engine and tranny at one time. Use rb26 box as they are a bit stronger and gear ratios better suit the turbo engine.

i don`t think i can help you with prices cause we have another prices here. but theese are the figures i remember:

i got my car for $13K 2.5 years ago. It was ENR33 auto. Now it`s turbo and manual with 5studs and turbo brakes. The box was about $800 for a box + installation, engine was about $3-3.5K (engine+install+all small bits), brakes was about $600. All parts was from wrecked domestic cars, not directly from Japan.

Now i`m building a new engine from my old 25de using parts from Japan (Yahoo) and already invested more than 4K and it is far away from the finish. And i want a gtr gearbox, this will be about $1000 from Japan delivered and it may need a rebuild.

Get a good suspension setup and decent tyres, spend the rest on mods and driver training... RWD isn't that bad... most racing cars still are RWD.

Conversion is annoying and tricky, that's why most just use the R33 gts-t box (same as the r32 gtr... only missing transfer case) and bolt it upto the RB26DETT in the gts-ts. Quick simple and power.

Or you could just build the RB25 and have a beast... Options Options :(

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
