700 is more then doable from both. Add Fabian to the list also.

In regards to Danny's comments, it shouldnt happen - people get screwed out of their hard earned money because people promise the world and deliver f*ck all.

Unfortunately it does - do your research and spend a little extra for quality.

I think Fabs will see about 600rwhp but he has a very strong power band that can make up the differance in power. Many of WAs high powered cars have a power band that looks like a single heart beat on a dyno graph,

This is why you see these cars perform poorly at the track.

Danny won't need luck any more, but i sure felt for him to see what has happend to him.

I am also looking foward to this, but i hope the owner, ant and danny, decide to get the cars andra approved for 10's, that way we can see them run many 10 second passes at an event like sports compact, no just have the one pass then have to go home.

Once they achieve the 10, they can set there sites on a 9 :)

oh yeah frogot it came with one, half cage is ok from memory down to a 9.99 ill have to re read the rule book again to check..

used to be 10.99 for a full cage but they changed that to recognise the better structural aspect of car, that, and there are a lot of cars that where doing under the 11.99 limit when you had to put a half cage in

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
