a guy bought a 32 gtr at work

we thought it had some goodies but was basically stockish

it ran 10.9 on slicks

so its got at a minimum

some sort of low mount twins , we thought just n1s but who knows

remap

full exhaust

hd clutch (which has died since)

intake

injectors and pump

but nothing too crazy

i didnt believe it but it did run a 10

The best way to run a 10 in a GTR, is strip it of absolutely everything, and then chop the roof and boot off in an attempt to make it less than 1000kg. And that would cost you zilch :)

Does the $5k include the rebuild after you blow it up trying? I dont think it would count if you did a 10.99 with the car blowing up at the 401m mark.

But really why bother when you can do it in an old VK or something for $10k including the car :thumbsup: Like its 400m, does it really matter what you do it in? Its going to feel pretty much the same.

Can be done............

1-1 Used Big single Turbo$1700....including manifold

2-Power fc d jetro...installed and tuned.....$1700

3-Bosch fuel pump...$200

4-Second hand set of injectors...555...or...600....$450

5-Nitro...second hand...$350.....fitting $300

You will need to fit fuel pump....Turbo...injectors yourself.....

Leave the tuner to fit...d jetro and Nitro...

Total cost.....$4700......

You are going to run in the tens....but you will fry your clutch and maybe some other things.... :thumbsup:

The day that someone actually tries this with a GTR is the day they should have said GTR confiscated & replaced with something they are more deserving- like a Camira or a Gemimi . I'll second Omurru's comments but I guess that's part of the down-side of such a car becoming so "affordable" but then again for every GTR that gets trashed I guess that will eventually make the rest more valuable over time :thumbsup:

Having said that, it would be interesting to see someone to try this with a big WET nitrous system & a good progressive controller. That way you could run stock everything, incl ECU & injectors etc. Wind the CAS back a bit to knock some timing outa the entire Ign map for when the gas comes in, launch the car with 0% nitrous to be nice to the clutch, be gentle-ish with the gas map 'til you're into 3rd to lessen the chance of grenading the box, losing traction etc then get aggressive with the bottle & with a huge top-end rush I reckon the 10 is a big chance IF you don't pop the bottom-end.

WET Nitrous Kit

(With ALL the fruit) $2500

Progressive Controller $500

Sticky Micky's $500

WBO2 $500

Celebration/Commiseration

Party & Tow (If Req'd) $500

10/1 Bet to cover costs $500

DONE!!

Tyres?

Clutch?

I think its definiately possible what if you cut of the roof, took off the bonnet/boot, removed all lights/AC/trim, took off all the guards and drove the stripped bare chassis with...

ECU-1000

2nd hand turbos-2000

fuel system-1500

tryes-500

you wouldn't be allowed to do an official run but anythings possible :P

Well weight is against you take out the seats, sound deading, angle grinder to the doors no back bar or side skirts and any think else thats not welded down.

JB clutch $1200

3 stage 150shot per stage NOS system

Why has no one done this stock Rb26 4-6k replacement value and you have just kill a good GTR. All so the Z tune could do it maybe with a tick of Nos

A nitrous kit a a few other things to get power down (tyres) will be under $5k all up in part cost.

It may or may not run the 10 in the short number of passes it will run before something important is broken into little peices.

I say invest the $5k for a few years and get more money.

Actually if you only have $5k in funds you can't afford to own a stock second hand GTR and race it. Second hand import GTRs cost an average of $2-3k per year to keep from being put off the road, if you drive it every day. The first few years usually break the unsuspecting hence they are frequently bought and sold, even on this forum.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
