rallying? hmm.. you're going to take a rex rallying worth that much? for that buy an old datto for $2000 with full spec rollcage, a few mods, and rally ready.. and spend the rest on whatever you want to drive around each day. Gravel isn't forgiving.

gimie the gist of it as i aint on that forum.. i think.

but im not talking hardcore constant rallying... i just wanna take it out there and thrash it round the vineyard on the dirt a bit... do somethin its probably never done in its life :(

Nark... Eh, stoopido.

what are you doing?

You've just done all this work to it and now your selling?

Listen here... for the cost of a change over to a GT-t, you can put and RB25 into your car, bigger turbo... make approx 240rwkw. Also chuck in an RB25 gearbox to boot.

Also a nice set of coil overs and give your car a nice aggressive stance and handling to boot.

As it's the lighest skyline... you'd be VERY fast.

You'd come out infront of a 34 GT-t for price as you can sell your old motor and gearbox and get some $$$ back on them.

34's will become as common as R33's in a year or two and then you'll wanna get rid of it.

I dont see as many 32's as a see 33's... and lately i've been seeing a good volume of 34's around.

Plus... spending 30k or whatever on a 34, and then having to spend $$$ on mods (which i know you'll wanna do) wont get it to the level your 32 would be for the price.

I dunno, that's just my thoughts. I love my old 31 with '96 model running gear.

This is all because you got onwed by the Mrs aint it?

y does everyone assume its because my gfs car ran a faster time? rofl u twits.

i want a new car tho thats the whole point... i dont want a beast i just want something new... i like the R34 interior, exterior and im not looking to mod the crap out of it...

but yeah i have got very attached to it and it looks sweet as right now... meh... i do like the sound of an RB25DET xplant and gearbox... but the RB25DET engine managment isnt as easy to play around with as the ECU on the RB20 which means i'll need shit like a E-Manage or something...

might email the guys at ice and bmt see how much that will cost... only prob that leaves me is i wont have a car for a month or how ever long it takes...

u bring up some good points ash i am going to have to think it over a little more now

I reckon you'd better think about it!

You car looks tough now it's all sprayed up!!!!!!

As far as ECU goes, it's probably easier to throw a P.FC in there, if you do turbo and that it'll help greatly.

Costing wise... i'd say ALL up.

25 Motor - $4000; Box - $1500; P.FC - $1800; Turbo - $2400; Coil-overs - 2g's

Now with labour i have NO idea, but my prices above are very generous.

You can sell you old motor/box for around $2500 for the lot.

That would HAVE to cover labour i would say.

And another $800 for your Stock turbo and ECU is you sell them,

Personally keep it for your EPA-EK (EPA emergency kit)

In all, Cost of STOCK R34 - change over say 15k

Cost of a serious performance/streetable conversion - 12K, and a very generous 12k that is too.

And all your parts would be far newer than what you have now so the car would be fresh.

More food for thought there :wave:

Im just in power mode ATM. So that's all i want in a car :cheers:

And dont bother getting a WRX in the middle, that's just wasted $$$

OR! swap your car for Meggalas car, he can sell off yours probably easier than his so he'll be happy.. and you have a unique SR20/R32 ..just stick your 4 injectors, new turbo, and PFC onto that and weee..

hahah - aren't you glad you started this thread now :cheers: we're so useful ..lol

haha pred... yeah its got the engine in all... but mine looks fatter :(

yeah ash i'll think about it... but at the moment im not really worried about huge power... just something decent.

Generously 13k for that upgrade? I think i know what's the problem is Nark:D .

We drive our car everyday and for that we're so used to the power, handling....ect...that we sometimes get sick of it and want something NEW.

What we need is a get away ( from our belove skyline ) for a week or two or even a month, go over sea, go where ever and after all that time away from it, tell ya what it's feel awesome when you jumb back onto that seat, throttle feeling....ect...you'll feel like you car is ready to run 10sec :P ( well happen to me :P when i left to LA, seeing a jungle off Honda over there made me feel sick :) )

IF i were you Nark, i would ignore the rb25 idea, i mean it's great, BIG power but for everyday driving thing, 12sec on street tyre is enough and i'm sure RB20 can handle that easily.

You already have great exterior now spend 7k on the engine and coil-over stuff ....then get a premium sound add a TV for traffic entertainment hahahaha.:(

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
