Yeah Champ, It would be a blast, having a bigger turbo & more boost..

As you probably already know, most of the skylines from Japan, already come fitted with Super hard Tein (or similar) suspension.. Its not good for traction - rather handling... If I could get a bigger turbo, I would have to get soft rear suspension, to allow the car to "squat" when launching...

Another problem, is that nobody can tune the F-CON V pro 2.0 here in ACT... BD4's said It would cost 250 - 1000, and might take a week.. (Hmm) and Croydon doesn't have the software... The guy that did my motor is trying to get me to put in a Digitech (he wants $1800 = install & tune)

Our Hobby Steve? - A bottomless pit of money..

(But then again, how about the rush on full boost, smoking wrx's & evo's!)

Hi guys, not saying that this is the case with Mose, but it happens a lot, people do a lot of work, spend a heap of money and then sell the car. They either overspend their budget or they are only interested in the build, not the driving of the finished product. Commonly they totally overkill and make the car not very nice to drive. I see it at least once a week.

Like Steve, my brain doesn't compute that way.

To give you a rough idea of how my engine costed that much, here is what I had done (that comes to mind) -  

Forged Pistons, Rods, Crank, O-Ringed, Chem Cleaned & crack tested block, Sard Injectors, High Flow Radiator, Full Head Service, ARP bolts , New Gasket sets, Balancing, NGK Plugs,  Fuel Reg, and LABOUR etc - I have a full recipet that I will scan in (for info purposes - Its around here somewhere!) BUT, I agree that I SHOULD have done the engine work in Sydney or something.. (It was done here in the ACT, by Skyline Performance, Mitchell - which turned out to be more convenient, but more expensive )

I will be doing all this to if my GT35 destroys my engine :D

SYDNEYKID,

True, I actually cracked a o-ring, and (not that I think about it) should have bought a standard rb25det, but at the time - decided to make it a weapon.. It is a awesome car to drive but has soooo much more potential. Maybe the person that buys it will go and fit a huge turbo.. (The rest of the car can easily handle it)

INASNT is right about the 2540 not being too stressful on a stock motor..

Which gives peace of mind as I have a prepped motor...

      HyperGear vs Pulsar Turbo RB25DET

      By Eric0 · Posted

      UPDATE: Hi all!  As we are getting towards the end of this thread where I’ll showcase final dyno numbers and graph, I wanted to provide an update. Tao from HyperGear has done an amazing job building the custom divided T3 housing for the G30. Communication was flawless, price was great, and now the housing is estimated to arrive in 7-10 days! Very very pleased. I must add, if someone is looking for an affordable turbo and end up reading this thread, I would recommend HyperGear. Genuine brands are the way to go as their proven reliability, predictable performance, and there’s a plethora of information available for specs, flow, and more. This HyperGear recommendation is based on their excellent communication, dedication, and willingness to listen to their customers. I particularly liked their ability to create custom adaptations tailored to specific needs, which is a HUGE benefit over other brands. And if we consider the HyperGear provided dyno results, it adds reassurance knowing their turbos can compete against genuine brands. Next update will be after the dyno!

      Probolt

      I've previously seen people post up "dress up bolt kits" for RBs but don't remember seeing them specify the full contents. I can only really suggest you grab the verniers and start measuring, and keep in mind the cam cover and timing cover bolts are both quite specific with a wider unthreaded section where the bushes sit, that will make it hard to get aftermarket replacements which tend to be all thread (set screws) or for longer bolts a flat section with a shorter threaded section at the end

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      I believe there was a similar one posted by @duggyphresh. They were re-routing their battery positive cable in the way I am also trying to achieve. Sorry, I’m new to this forum, so was a bit late to the party by a few months and so reignited the old thread, as I wanted to know how they got on with doing it.

      Wasn't there a thread on this very subject just a few weeks ago?

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By Beanie · Posted

      Hi all! Looking to relocate the battery to the trunk of an R34 GTT. I want to do it using as many stock GTR components as I can (including the harness protectors from the 34 GTR that run underneath along the chassis to the engine bay). So far I’ve purchased the battery tray from a 33 GTR, as the captive weld nuts are already there just asking to be used. There is also the slight issue of now having to relocate the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU, which in GTT’s sits right above where the battery will then sit on the tray. Has anyone already achieved this, and if you have any pics that you wouldn’t mind sharing? It would be great to see how others have done it and where you put them, as there are countless holes in the parcel shelf panel to potentially use. Just trying to get some ideas bounced around, and to help uncover any potential problems I may encounter by  my choice of location. TIA for any help!
