how much you looking at spending on the krautcan? (initial layout)

and what are the plans?

and how much for the 32?

lol?

and are you going icecreaming? i think i'll be coming to see you guys. nothing much happinin northside atm :(

Between 2k - 5k depending on what i find/like/want when I have money in my pocket.

Plans depend on what model I find

6kish

?

Nope

Woot bonnet is now fixed!

Lesson learned: DIY

/sigh... $200 gone to the body works shop then to fix up their crappy mistakes at home

lads

boring day is boring

sitting in the office pretending to do work before my 1pm meeting. then will finish for the day

hopefully weather holds out and I may make an appearance tonight

wet weather + cheap tyres + leaky sunroof = shithousen

What did you buy?

Nothing yet.

Not looking at anything interesting either. One of my Volk center caps has gone AWOL, and I've found a number of likely candidates to replace it. Also an R31 keyring :)

Japanese schoolgirl?

Hmmmm.... group buy?

5k will buy you one thats on the road....but not well, unless your very lucky. i payed 4.5 for my girls one ('68 with the roof racks, Venetians etc) but i have rebuilt the motor since in it.....

I found in the 5k bracket you either get one with a good body and stuff drive train, or vice versa. never a nice combo or compromise.

anything below 4k was just plain screwed :(

what happened to the days of buying an old Volkies for 500 bucks slapping some number plates on it and just driving.... :(

oh, and if this rain stays im not coming down tonight...spent too long this arvo saturated in the rain to wanna go out in it again

If you haven't gone, probably a good idea not to go. Another storm just brewed up and is headed our way... again, hail

Shit tonne of hail hit my sisters place @ parkinson

I hear ya. My other bugs cost me $500 and $1300 both straight on the road. There seem to be some half decent ones around at the moment for under 5. Some really nice ones between 6&8. I want to do a lot of the work though. So as long as the engine is decent enough for a daily then i'll settle for a slightly less than decent body.

    • That's a given!  Bit hard to powdercoat it properly without removing them! 😁
    • No detail on compressor or turbine sizes, which doesn't help with housing size selection with that kit. However, from SR20DET mucking about and money torching perspective, a GTX2860R Gen 2 w/ 0.64 (46mm inducer) will do ~260kW on E85 about 1.5bar of boost. All in before 3000pm, which cause a gearbox to shatter. Now imagine the same turbo, on a modern motor with an extra 0.5L of displacement, and heaps of cam timing adjustability (not an on/off affair like the Nissan shit boxes). If this was my car (which I would never own or consider buying, ever!), I would go for a nice twin scroll setup, and a G30-660. Gates plumbed back, no silly shit. Lean on the cam timing, big displacement to create a flat-ish torque curve.  
    • Do you plan on using 98 or e85?
    • This should be pretty easy. 200rwkW is just about the max power out of an RB25 stock turbo. So, 12ish psi on a 2.5L. That boost limited mainly by the prospect of seeing the turbine in the cat after the smoke show. A steel wheeled equivalent would likely happily do ~220rwkW at something like 17 psi, where it would probably be bumping into the usual limits of such a sized turbo. These things have like a .48 rear. You will not need the 0.86 rear. The 0.64 will be fine. In fact, if you were looking at various mid-200rwkW options for RBs, most of them would be in a 0.64 rear. So, I think you will definitely want to be no bigger than that for a same sized but probably even more efficient (at making power) modern engine.
