Hey!

Im actually on here buying a stagea but while im here, i have an issue that needs solving.

The reason being is that between myself and a neighbour we own an SR20.

Forged Pistons and rods, balanced crank, blueprinted cracktested block, Ported+ polished head, inlet manifold port-matched, bigger valves, Crow cams, adjustable cam gears etc, all built by PLR. Redline of about 9500. High compression N.A. engine. Might drop the compression later and run a turbo/supercharger. But for now it makes plenty of mumbo.

Question is - what does it go in?

Obviously a RWD Manual. His idea is to buy a cheap S13 with a blown / tired engine and do it up.

I reckon go a lil more old school, throw it in something different that still suits the driveline, bit of a sleeper, something cool looking with a lil class that will get peoples attention and admiration. Not just another S13.

I found a nissan gloria... What would you choose? Consider that whichever car is taken, brakes, suspension, differential, gearbox and clutch etc will be uprated to suit the transplant.

This is the gloria -

get the Groria! so oldschool cool. you'll have to put up with 1970's tech to support your transplant tho... and once you put a new engine in you'll have to make sure it meets emissions standards from the year of the engine.

get the S13 for plug and play ease of use.

Awesome. Im hoping to get a few responses then show him the thread haha...

I just figure that either way, itll be getting new suspension, brakes, gearbox, diff, computer, etc etc, its not going to matter performance wise which option is taken. Just it'd be cooler to have a gloria, that looks like its just had a slight hot rod style makeover, but houses an off its titty 2.0L.

The Gloria comes with a 2.0L, 5 speed rear wheel drive setup, so i cant see many issues with compliancing dramas. Especially seeing as the thing is 30 years old. It will be a daily driver.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
