why has everyone gone for twins on a 'cheap' drag setup ?

go for a big single (garrett off the shelf). injectors, map sensor PFC, clutch, exhaust and ALOT of nos. i rekon you MIGHT just scrape in under 5K, with some second hand parts :)

Is that before or after you include the manifold you need, then custom dump/front pipe, custom piping/hosing oil/water lines etc etc etc etc etc.

Big squirt of gas. An ECU. open pipes and a cheap RB26 manifold with an XR6 turbo with some cheap injectors. If you can weld up the pipes yourself and get soem cheap 2nd hand slicks...then strip the hell uopt of it....maybe. But why woudl you bother when for 5k you could have a nice daily driver that runs flat 12s to high 11s ?

I will say it can't be done...just because if i say that some bugger will try to do it.

ill be the 1st to shake the hand of somebody who can acomplish this feat.

after a few broken engines and gearboxes they will agree with me...it can't be done.

It really not even worth trying. Even if you did everything yourself, even if you got all the parts you need under 5k, you'll be very lucky to get it off the line let alone make it down the quarter. Better to put in 10-15k if you can afford it and do it right rather than waste 5k doing it wrong.

Well said.

If this goes ahead, its likely the car will be f**ked in the process and the cost of then repairing it and doing the nessesary work to bring the thing back up to scratch will be huge.

Try and cut corners putting together a GTR and it WILL bite you in the ass, mark my words

It's one thing to talk about doing this to an XR6T which I presume is what is being discussed somewhere else and someone has said it can be easily done to a GTR. But there's one difference I think were all forgetting, A GTR is actually a good/rare car and ontop of that they aren't produced anymore, anyone who even thinks about butchering one just to prove a point is retarded. I'm happy for you to try it with an XR6T cos their becoming more popular than vl's and their still rolling of the production line, hell you could probably get most of the required parts at my local supermarket......

it will not

it will fail

TO4GTR has run an 11.2@121mph still using his original 210,000km+ engine with around 310rwkw. And he doesn't baby it at all :) Must be a freak engine.

I pesonally don't think it can be done for under 5k. Under 10k is very possible though.

I love all the expert replies from so many people that have ran 10's, according to my cousin all his mates cars run tens its easy

hahaha fools run the times consistantly then tell us how easy it is

consistancy aye buster, that why you've got an auto? :)

    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
    • To be fair - you see the same thing for every clutch. There's always someone making an installation error.
    • Just saw this, redacted names. It's on a R33 GTS-t Facebook group. Looks like still teething issues.
