do they?

new they would be around 6g, and i would be veryyyyy hard to find 1 second hand with T3 flange i recon

hey its just $$. And u r only young once.

haha.. don't forget this is coming from a guy who has recently lost his license for 12 months.. and he wants more power :lol:

On the power difference thing.. for the last couple of days i've had to drive a 1.5L lancer and 2.4L (?) Magna each with about 40fwkw (if that).. man, going back is a hard thing i tell you.. its like a whole different world.. so sllooooww

I havent lost it yet!

And there is 2 many other weapons on the road with owner with way more $$ than i will ever have, so no point trying to match em

Rev210 Are you serious? 300rwkws for 4 grand. Anyone who goes down this road is gonna have a motor that lasts a week.

1 thing ive learnt with these cars is DONT CUT ****ING CORNERS!

Be realistic and dont go building a half assed car.. Make sure you do it properly

TOTALY AGREE!

You only get what you pay for. If you pay 4K for 300KWs, there not going to last long, and your going to have no fun when you relise that you flushed 4K on bolt'ons.

Spend the 4K on the motor:

- Computer ($1500

- Injectors (work on $125 per injector/if you shop, about 800ISH)

- pump ($400 cheapy)

- Mild head work & cams (1K cams) (300ISH on head)

And there is 2 many other weapons on the road with owner with way more $$ than i will ever have, so no point trying to match em

Dunno about that.. if u had 300+ rwkw there is not much out there that would touch you in melb. u might give GTRs a bit of a run if u can drive well. most skylines around are all show and no go or around what me and u got at the moment (less than 200rwkw).. not too many people go that extra mile..

Remember that nutz 390rkw GTS-T that one those dyno comps last weekend? well I don't know of many others than mattlow's R33 that have too much over 300rwkw in an R33 GTS-T in Melbourne.

if u can play with the internals u can always stick something fun like NOS on there :D

matt, bigpsi, nigels 400rwkw surpa, ben from racepaces 480rwkw GTR, leewahs 380rwkw GTR are a few quickies i can think of.

Then there r those quick old school V8's going around 2, the drag ones that are street registered and just get driven at night!

stock internals can handle about 60hp wet fogger nos system!

definetly agree with these guys

go the suspension to get the power to the ground

ive got like nearly $5k of suspension and i still get trouble with traction and not a great deal has been done to my car

but ist your $4k so yeah

let us know what you decide be good to find out what you do as im think about spending the tax check in a few months all on the car

If the stock engine is tuned right 300kw will hang together quite well. The standard internals have ben known to handle this amount of power. Then again plenty of RB25's have let go at less than 200rwkw because of a crap tune or maintence.Also depends on what sort of life the engine has had and how many kms are already on it.

Irrespective of what you do to the internals more power will accelerate wear, a 500HP engine needs rebuilding more than twice as often as a 250HP engine, and it doesn't matter if you have forged pistons and rods etc, the bearings and rings will always wear out. If I ever decided to build a 500HP engine I'd expect to rebuild it (bearings and rings etc) in 60,000kms or less to save me having to buy a whole new set of forgies and things.It's just what you do.

It's quite true that 'you get what you pay for'....

...It just that alot of people don't know they are paying to get F#cked

300rwks seems to be done alot in Japan on stock internals, no I have never seen this, but I have it on several sources from people that have - the one thing they have in common is a metal head gasket to decompress the engine. This is to prevent detonation - which will kill any engine.

I read on a post of Merli's somewhere that he has been putting down 280rwkw for some time on stock internals and hasnt had any dramas yet.

I realise a metal head gasket is a bit of a quick fix, but if it works well - 1k (gasket fitted) versus many thousands - at the end of the day if the bottom end goes, just build a 3L to replace it. A 3L short motor is rediculously cheap.

already got blistern springs and shock and just got some pineapples.

hook me up with a place where i can get the 2835 with T3 flange

you want the 2835 pro. drop a line to simon (the australian rep) at [email protected] he's a pretty helpful guy.

thanks

i know the 3037 pro s also has a T3 flange connection, but i wonder if there is enough room near the stock manifold for 1 that big!

i could see this in my ar quite easily

yes...but GTS-T ?? and these guys mostlyi all work in performance shops..which helps..

depends what u want inasnt.. nutty dragger or street car..u are aiming for both..if u do it well then u do well, its all in the research which u have been doing (**** i paid denham a compliment..oops)

Hi guys, let's not forget about weight, a 1,700 kg 400 rwkw Supra is hardly going to be any faster accelerating than a 300 rwkw R32 GTST. Pretty much same for a GTR, except it will at least have maybe a traction advantage. But it will loose a lot more power through the 4wd.

Hi predator666, ask ben, nigel and leewah how many k's they drive their cars a year? And whether they drive them everyday? What's the good of a fast car if you don't drive it? Sit and look at it and brag about the dyno sheet? Dyno heroes are simply not my thing.

There's a 900 bhp engine in the machine shop right now. Lucky to do 2,000 kilometres in the next year, and it will need a $3K rebuild after that anyway. Waste of $20K I say.

For a road GTST, I reckon around 260 rwkw is a nice reliable daily driver that will see off 99.9% of all cars it sees. For a GTR about 300 rwkw is OK, due to the extra traction and higher weight it has to carry. Everytime I talk to someone that has had that level of power, and then went much higher, they lament the compromises they now have to make. Not to mention the poorer dollar per horsepower return.

Hope that adds to the discussion.

    • I had absolutely no symptoms whatsoever that anything was wrong.... I'm very happy it was all spotto'd and re-bled and re-torqued and aligned though. Will be picking it up tomorrow and undoubtedly be like "Oh, that clunk is gone" "Oh, the car really wants to drive straight" "Oh, that pedal feels better" "Oh, it feels like I've gained 25hp" "Oh, the handbrake works now" It should have been a sign that the new Project Mu shoes had 3mm of pad depth on them out of the box, and the OEM ones from 25 years ago that we took out also had 3mm of pad depth, implying the issue was not, and never was the shoes, but we put that down to it not being adjusted correctly. It wasn't, but it wasn't even adjustable at all given one side was boned and the T Junction of the cables was on a 45 degree angle, the non-working side being the one on the massive angle. Obviously when I had adjusted it and reset it and re-tensioned it I had either got it stuck or something along those lines. Oh well. Live and learn and absolutely could have been catastrophically worse so I'm rationalizing it as a win, kinda. I also got the chance to measure the distance between rear rim and the suspension arm/shocks and found a 30mm rubber block only just doesn't fit there. Which is great to know before ordering wheels, when I assumed 30mm was easy. The man with the Porsche adapters has rims that use 23.9mm of that space, so it's safe to assume I have between 23.9 and 29.9mm of space there to play with on the inside. The wheels looked pretty stupidly pokey with the 20mm spacers on the rear, only for me to find that the studs come out another 12mm and the wheel doesn't actually sit flush with the hub because you're supposed to cut your original studs. The wheels do have cutouts that kinda accomodate it, but not fully. So my 20mm spacer was anywhere between 25mm and 35mm. ~25mm and send it will determine on where the wheels sit with the spacers on. When I put the pads in for the track day I will mess around with spacers (with wheels that do not clear studs properly when mounted to spacers) and do more math, for the last time, for the 7th time.
    • Lucky pick up Best to find these things before something horrible happened to the yoke flange thingies I would hate to think what would happen if it dropped the tailshaft  Hopefully the holes are not flogged out in the yokes and it was just the bolts that got munted  As for the hand brake.....ouch, look like the disc got rather hot, and I assume smokey, I recall when I had a front caliper seize on the Commodore, there was lots of smoke and the disc was glowing cherry red when I was able to eventually stop and have a look, and stopping a big heavy car, going down a big hill with some rather high RPM down shifts and some hand brake action is something that makes you think hard about life
    • One of the things that never seemed right was the handbrake. Put in some nice new Project Mu shoes. We figured the rears were out, so why not. We're right there. My handbrake never worked well anyway. Well, this is them, 15km later. 67fdcf94-9763-4522-97a4-8f04b2ad0826.mp4 Keen eyes would note the difference in this picture too:   And this picture: Also, this was my Tailshaft bolts: 4ad3c7dd-51d0-4577-8e72-ba8bc82f6e87.mp4 It turns out my suspicions that one side of the handbrake cable was stretched all along were pretty accurate, as was my intuition that I didn't want to drop the tailshaft to swap them on jack stands and wasn't entirely sure about bolt torque. I have since bought the handbrake cables which have gone in. I'm very glad that I went to my mechanic friend who owns an alignment machine to get an alignment before the track day, because his eyes spotted these various levels of "WHAT THE f**k IS GOING ON HERE?". Turns out the alignment wasn't that bad, considering we changed the adjustable castor arms out for un-adjustable castor arms, and messed with the heights. Car drove pretty good with one side of the handbrake stuck on, unbleedable rear brakes, alignment screwy, and the tailshaft about to go flying and generally being a death trap waiting to happen! (I did have covid) (I maintain I adjusted the handbrake correctly, but movement caused shennanigans and/or I dislodged the spring on the problem side somewhat, or god knows what). G R E G G E D
    • Very interesting, im not sure how all those complications fit in to running a haltech instead of a stock ecu but I'm starting to think I'm a bit out of my league.
    • I just put 2 and 2 together. This is a Neo converted R32. The Neo ECU (in concert with the R34's AC controller) runs the AC quite differently to how the R32 ECU and AC controller do it. If you just drop it all in, it won't work. There is some tricky wiring required, including changing to the pressure switch that the Neo controllers want to see. I don't know what it is, because mine was done by a guru. It was a year or so after I did that transplant before he worked out what needed to be done.
