I recently started gathering parts to build a rb22 hybrid engine for my R32 GTST...but circumstances have changed and that project is now dead...but it ain't all bad...because i have seen the light...or perhaps moved over to the dark side (depending on your point of view)...gone is my 237rwkw R32 GTST and in its place now is a 3L straight 6 twin turbo brute...

A deal too good to pass up came along and I went for it...the car is still stockish at the moment with and exhaust and safc...it also came with 272 degree cams...other goodies include the factory big brake kit and factory bilsteins...which is a bonus...i'm guessing it makes around 200rwkw at the moment at about 12psi...but it will make alot more when i'm done with it...

Therefore...i will soon have a blown rb20det to give away along with other bits for the rb22 build...stay posted...cheers...

Its got a getrag in there...so i think that answers the auto or manual question...

I don't like the wing as well...but it leaves some really ugly holes if you take it off...so that might take awhile to sort out...at least i know that the toyota engineers have actually designed it to provide proper downforce...

I don't mind it as well but it does look better without the wing...

After throwing it around a few corners yesterday i must say that its very balanced and planted...and while its not exactly light its more nimble than you might think...the chassis is great...oh what a feeling...lolz!!!

personally not a fan of supra's.. big fan of the 2jz!!! gotta throw it in something better... PLEASE!!!

Whats a better chassis to throw it into? just out of curiousity...find me a chassis that can hold a constant load of almost 1g back in its day...

    • Hi All, I'm based in Sydney and want to get hold of 4 stock R34 GTT wheel caps as pictured. Cheers
    • Haha im flattered! Although my poor boat is collecting dust in the garage, as it hasn’t been driven in like 6 months. I forgot the to put the trickle charger on too, so the battery is likely toast now.. I have the frenchys kit. It is fantastic. My only gripe was that the hard lines from the firewall needed some tweaking, however, this was mainly due to my specific turbo and dump combo. The weight and size packaging is much nicer too. I think I have some pics on my build thread somewhere.. my justification for the kit was more “why not” I had gone to the trouble to modernise just about every other part of the car..
    • Actually, ethanol has probably never been cheaper, on a tax free basis, than petrol. With fuel excise being what it is, and only being levied on the hydocarbon component, not the ethanol component, and ethanol for non-drinking purposes not being subject to liquor excise - E85 was cheaper, but not because the combustible liquid itself was particularly cheaper.
    • Maybe? If changing the cat to a higher flowing cat, caused the turbo to spool more quickly, and those areas of the map had not been tuned for the boost level it is now seeing, then yes you would need a re-tune. How dangerous it is running without the updated tune would depend on how far out the tune is with the now higher boost levels, how the engine protection has been setup, is the ECU compensating with a wideband sensor, is the boost control closed loop blah blah million other things... But yeah having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if changing out the cat for a high flow, in say a full 3" exhaust, made no noticeable difference at all. 
    • Ah yep. I asked a auto electrician about getting a cheap rebuilt alternator vs a new one. He also said he used to it back in the day but it ended up costing similar to what a new one would and recommended getting a new one,.
