LS1s are a great combo for a R32... just make sure you add a pair of huffers on the side :blink:

yea that's what i was thinking.. i know the ls1 has nice low down torque and would slide nice also but i'd love to go twin turbo ls1 but the kits are in excess of $10k... ill have all the time in the world as i'm losing my license for a while. what would be the approx cost of the ls1 build.. from an r32 NA auto + ls1 + 6spd + custom fabs for the mounts and such?

i got a gen3 with 6speed..

i had a r32...

so many workshops turned me down big name shops, cause they told me balance of car would be way out..

i had a budget of 20k as i already own the gen3, i no alot of stupid money but it was a project and i allowed at least 8k for just front end setup, and still alot of workshops turned me down..

i was very disapointed and it turned me off..

they all reckon the s15 or 14 silvia with the gen3 in it is so far off balance its a miracle it can drift the way it does..lol jelousy now i think about it....

do it man it would be an absolute street weapon, and with turn a whole freeway up in smoke at 120km's

yer but honestly i cant sit there an argue with a workshop owner and end up leaving my pride and joy in there hands, its like im forcing them to do something there jelous of..

kunts, but if your good on the tools and you do have the time, i say do it, but once you start to look into it, you cant spare any cash on the front end setup..

i cant find any pics of the silvia gen3, but it showed the whole front setup an fabrication, its like a work of art..

if only i had the time, i realy cant stay up till 12, 1 in the morning these days my day time job is to demanding, lol but f*k im thinking about it once again...

haha yea it's like that ay.. i work 7 days a week atm and it's a struggle!

I've just been watching vids and there a bloke called mikespeed with a blown ls1 s13 and it's farking nuts!!! but then i'd also love to just build a really solid rb and that would be easier.. ahh i dno what to do yet.

how will it effect the balance enough to matter... the weight difference is marginal at best (ls1 lighter than rb)

honestly i only started to research the project after i gave up with wanker workshop owners giving me the bullshit lines.. it got to a stage were i had to bring 6k cash in my hand to show the bastards i wasnt lieing..

but after a bit of research and talkin to a few guys it is possible and if the front end is done properly, you wont have to maintain the thing forever..

but either way big dollars but good results...

What are the costs for a similar setup when one has an ls1 with associated oil leaks, an r33t car, 4 stock 33t turb's working.. no piping work, exhuasts appropriate manifolds, gaskets, lines etc... management....

?

if you go to the trouble of getting an ls1 into a 33... you may aswell add the stock 33t turbs of the side... a pair of t3's should work nicely for a lower boost mod... internally stock ls1...

I know it's been done.... I would have preffered a savage na 91 ron monster 33 but for 10c more I could have something that eats more money...

seriously though... what costing involved? as a REAL project for someone good with thier hands... modest budget and space available for hte thing to sit there until it is ready for use?

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
