My 1st Gtr

[STR8E180]

just wondering who would be the man to speak to when it comes to techanical questions?

[TTT]

well at least you have a mechanic mate that will help you out.

just a thought.. "cramming as much air as you can down it's throat" and "never rebuild" don't go hand in hand with 15+ year old RB26's.

you leave it as is, it will last.

you do the single turbo and many many boosts, you will rebuild.

just wondering who would be the man to speak to when it comes to techanical questions?

there are many people here with ALOT of rb26 experience.

if you post your questions in the appropriate sections (forced induction) you will get answers from the likes of GTRGeoff, R31Nismoid, Cubes, SydneyKid (if he actually gets on here anymore)..

then you'll find I'll come around and blabber something about RB30 and possibly call you gay, then leave..

all the best with the new car.

But please, don't fool yourself into thinking that you won't need a rebuild this 15+ year old engine that "WILL" have been thrashed frequently, especially since your plans are a largish single, and lots of boost.

even for a stock refresh, you'd be up for about $6K

welcome mate.. i know how u feel, iv owned a 33gtst but nothing compares to a GTR, i just picked up my first gtr last night and im lovin it too

Gunmetal GTR's look tough as, congrats on the purchase. Regarding the turbo upgrade I thought twins wouldn't be that expensive because you could just bolt them onto the stock manifold?

Ah that's not too bad. From people's response in another thread, those specs would stick out quite a lot (at the front), but it's perfect in my opinion.

[STR8E180]

they are 18 X 9.5 +12 by the way...cant remember if i wrote the specs yet
