First of all, that car makes serious power, so what did you expect it to cost $5?

What bad things did they say about a GTR?

Second the stock GTR gearbox is a sensational piece of automotive equipment. You try to put 3 times the manufactures power through a WRX gear box and see how long it lasts.

Same goes for a clutch, but you can source strong ones at sensational prices.

BUT what times do you want to run?

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

If you are going to get a GTR that does 10's, get an R32. Japan has plenty for import if you have the cash. For example here's one that would easily run 10's (and probably 9's if setup right) and it's only $35k~

This one was already sold, but theres that many high hp R32 GTR's floating around the Japanese auctions you would be stupid not to consider them :)

Oh and that price is very damn valuable I might add. Trust 6 speed gearbox's are like $AU10k+ alone, you'll pay about the same for the T-88 turbo kit, and that doesn't include the bodykit, internal engine mods (it would have to have a built bottom end to reach 800hp/ps), wheels, roll cage, guages, suspension, carbon fibre bonnet and so on.

That sort of value is indicitive of the general value in buying from japan.

If I had ~$35k that car would have been mine....

Oh and if you have LOTS of money, try this one -

building a 11 sec gtr is not that expensive, but 10 sec is.

the maintance of a 10 sec car is scary.

btw,11 sec is more than enough and will be a big different again with yr commie.

low to mid 11 sec - 2 x GT2530 tubro, intercooler, cams + cams gear, gasket, full exhaust system, injectors, fuel pump, Power Fc, clutch (somewhere around $20000-25000 )

not that much as i guess u have to spend similar or more to bring yr LS1 to 12.2 sec

The following vehicle has just come into stock with a supplier in Japan for 3,520,000 yen FOB. The cost in Australia is estimated to be $60,300.

We have included the cost of shipping, import duties, GST, and our service fee in this estimate. Not included is the cost of compliance (about $4,000), tyres, Govt. stamp duty and registration (normal licensing costs for any vehicle).

The additional cost required to remove all modified parts for compliance is not included. :)

need to remove EVERTHING in the car and put them in again after compliance! the labour i guess would be another 10000 or so:shake:

Finally some people that know what their talking about.

Recepie for 11sec.

2x Air Filters

2x HKS 2530 Turbos

6x 550+cc injectors

Apexi Power Fc

z32 AFM

Cam Gears

Twin Plate Clutch (dont stuff around with a single button)

Intercooler

FULL Exhaust (Dumps-Tip)

A new bosch motorsport in tank fuel pump

Good tyres

Up graded Brake Pads (Going faster means you have to stop faster too)

Competent Tuner with accurate dyno

Maybe Suspension if there is money left over

What you Dont need:

Different cams. Not worth getting step 1 size because money could be better spent else where and Step 2+ need to modify the head, again spend money else where

Head Gasket, providing you follow the Competent tuner advice and keep boost levels about 1.5bar which is right at about the efficiency of the HKS 2530's

Bigger turbos

Forged Engine Internals

Forged Gear Set

Providing you dont mind going second hand parts you could probably get away with spending $10-13k including tuning and labour.

Hey if you've got $60k for a car you can probably call in another $10k for something like that, especially a 1000hp skyline! :D

It's fargin scary let me tell ya.

I finished a detuned setup today (timing backed off and the fuel on the rich side). The thing spins the wheels all through 2nd from 2500rpm till 100kmh, smokes the tyres all the way and gives more of the same in 3rd.

I'm thinking of doing a smaller jetting for tyre ecconomics, 205's are not up to the task :O

well its looks like its going to cost a fair wack of money to get a 33 into a 10.

What about if i do some simple mods like, cooler , up the boost , exhaust , twin air filters and cams, button clutch. will the be a good solid combo ?

this combination and the right tuner should do 11s,but forget the cams,cam gears are all u need,with a competant tuner u should get 240-250kw which is good enough for high 11s.u wont even need the cooler.

Melv,

    • It was roughly 3.5 hours.    car went in around 11:00 and I was done around 2:30 He did the initial runs, install the BC and then Nistune install and tune.  The best part was sitting in the lobby and hearing the skyline on full throttle at the dyno 😂😂
    • Glad it all went smooth. How long did the tuning process take?
    • Yeah that was kind of the same feedback my tuner gave me.  the boost tee is until I can sort out my plan for the electronic boost controller and what I’d get, where I’d mount the dash etc.  I’m happy with this until I can figure it out. Not a big fan of the A-pillar gauges. I’d like to get a clean install of the boost gauge - something digital like GFB.  Something like that might fit neatly where the ashtray is and look clean. I feel like replacing the OEM triple gauge is a bit extreme for a weekender like my skyline. And it’s not making crazy power to need all the additional sensors/gauges. 
    • I'm about to swap my box to Tremec T56 Magnum F & initially thinking of re-using my DCS twin plate (can get it re centred for the bigger spline) but it's been called out the box will be noisy (rattle) as the clutch is unsprung.  So I'm doing as much research as possible. I'm not so worried about holding the power as I'll go the track version which on paper will hold the maybe 1000hp I make. It's the longevity I worry about. DCS told me they don't use a sprung centre as it's just something that can break. The uni clutch has a very complicated sprung centre. Any one had or heard about any issues with it failing? Thanks in advance.
    • Auto is at least 10% (from my real, actual experience with different torque converters and manual on the same setup) ~185rwkw at 11.6psi (peak!) is entirely what one would expect without a FMIC or anything else on the intake, it does bleed off towards the higher RPM so it's what, 9psi there? Note: There is nothing that can be done about this with a manual boost tee. If you want to hold it steady and gain more top end, well - You will need electronic boost control.....
