Naturally Aspirated Thread

maybe... but if you want big power out of a nissan.... it's forged piston and rebuilt internals time anyway...

I paid $100 for the T25 Turbo (for silvia remember)

$100 for manifold

$200 in oil lines. intercooler piping and miscilanious gear...

for $400 it's really really cheap....

don't be scared do the work yourself... especially if you can drive your girls car...

it actually gives you an attachment to your car... you built it and it really does give you satisfaction when driving it that you have built it yourself...

I understand the whole just buy a turbo car though... I depends what you want... mine is just a little added boost until I rebuild with forged pistons... 30/37 and custom manifolds...

should be fun... it will still be with the NA motor... just the only thing that doesn't like the boost is the NA pistons.... other than that the motor is virtually identical...

the oil squirters I hear you all say... how many 1000Hp V8's have crank case oil squirters... I've already looked into it and done the calcs(well my mechanical Engineer father did.) and he reckons that sure they are cool but you don't need them....

anyway dudes have fun just remember.... make a plan research and do it cheap.... it's the Garage Spank Moto......

Well, you could all save some time and buy a Honda, the KING of NA

Type R OWNS YOU! :jump: :uh-huh:

S2000.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[doxximus]

yeah its always easy for ppl to say: just sell ur n/a and buy a turbo

but the actual time and money loss of selling ur car then finding a turbo similar to what u want is a bitch

[Greg]

well said doxx

my car is in pristine condition with very low k's etc, so if i was to sell it i would spend a very long time trying to find a gtst in the same condition, that's if i could find one at all. turbo conversion is the way to go

[33Spec2]

So only race things u can beat hehe!

good idea!

[33Spec2]

Which is cheaper fitting a turbo or gettin a half cut? Which is better? Has anyone found out any prices?

Another thing will insurance b about the same as a gts-t?

Thanx

[Greg]

Hey Guys,

I need you to help me out here please I'm looking at buying a set of 16's that are currently on a S13 silvia. I know Silvia's have the same stud pattern, but is the offset the same too?

Thanks!

it will definately cost more for getting a half cut (i just bought a rear end so i could have rear gtst diff, hubs, breaks and 5 stud )

with insurance for some reason the car is insured under my name (didnt know) 3rd party (i knew this but thought under my name) as a GTST!

so all im gonna do is say "my engine blew coz it was running bad, so i found a good one and put it in and its fine now heres the engine number"

and yeah

scam....

Hey all, at school and the PC's are slow as!

I was told yesterday to go 2.25" on my exhaust? 2 people from Sub Zero told me and i dont know what to think?

most of you guys have 2.5" am i right?

im also thinkong of cold air induction and extractors? good idea?

anyway g2g, byes all :burnout:

PS: Hey boxhead, when you get ya new ride you betta still be on this thread!

[_turtle_]

if you get a 2.5" then make sure you get a good resonator and muffler that takes out the drone. else it will drone and annoy you!

personally, next time around i'd get a 2.25", i think its a bit more responsive with a 2.25".

guys my car might be for sale soon! new job means new car! yay!

[Greg]

i went ahead and got those rims that were on a silvia.

they are 16x7 front and 16x8 rear, and the offset on both is 32mm. They fit perfectly with no rubbing at all on full lock, and no rim hanging out of the gaurd.

I therefore conclude that the correct offset for 16" rims to fit a non turbo R33 GTS is 32mm

Neogt25: i would go with 2.25" piping. If you want 2.5" piping make sure you get at least one resonator and use a good quality muffler (as turtle said). I have 2.5" piping with 2 resonators and a quality muffler (HKS system) and i still get a bit of drone from 2-3k rpm. hope this helps.

[alistern]

Good to know that a 32 offset work on a 16x7, I stayed with what the manual lists (offset 40 on 16x7/offset 45 on 16x7.5).

Are there any options apart from importing extractors? any made here?

[Greg]

hmm i need to get my hands on one of those manuals...

not 100% sure but i heard somewhere that extractors for a RB30 will fit...can anyone confirm this?

[funkymonkey]

mine came on the car, they were from japan sorry

[doxximus]

well i sold my n/a engine today for 800 without the box :D

it is going to be used for an rb25/30deTT buildup going into a vl. the person who bought it had his mate with him who has a rb26/30dett in his own vl

good to see my engine will be contributing to something special

to bad in a vl but lol

ARGH CANT WAIT TIL I HAVE MY CAR BACK!

[_turtle_]

good to hear u made some use of the old engine doxximus. hey i remember seeing a thread with u selling ur old rims? they still available?

[doxximus]

nah they are taken (these are ones that were with the car when i bought it)

the ones on the car atm (4 stud patern as well) are for sale though pm me if your interested

[BOoStEr]

Years ago, in an old motor mag, I read an article announcing the release in japan of a limited production Skyline sedan by Autech powered by an N/A Rb26de tuned to within an inch of it's life.Has anyone here ever encountered such a beast?
