Yeah no shit, thats about all you could get for around 1800. No interior, or box. Isn't the box worth 1500 anyway?

To put the 25 box in my 32 it cost nearly 2.5k at the end of the day and that's not paying for labour.

drag car aye.. ok i might know a weeny bit.

what class you looking at competing?

because if its higher classes, id be looking at getting a 3/4 chassis or a full chassis made.

so dont bother about too much about body condition, except for the roof and doors !

most of the other panels will be fibreglass.

how serious in terms of drag is it going to be? because drag / track = not same

driveline different, tough manualised gearbox for drag, 5spd for track, etc

i wouldnt worry about stereo, rims, exhaust, etc.

and if you are on a small budget, then drag racing isnt the sport you want to build a car.

and budgets blow out bigtime... i went from a simple 3540/6boost/nitto/80Lb inj, setup ... to a T51/6boost/nitto/220Lb setup ... why? because intercooling bugged me :down:

do it right the first time, dont take shortcuts. etc :)

Spend as little as 10k and get something already built and you and your dad can go racing. (S13, R32, old school R31 etc)

Building a race car is hugely expensive. No build has ever stuck to budget and unfortunatley once you start, your commited lol

As Tocchi, if your on a small budget then drag racing isnt for you.

Maybe look at the MC series, or AEM Speed dome events and stuff like that. There are guys there racing standard type cars. The more hp you look for, the more chance it will go bang and start costing big.

Good luck

honestly, $25,000 can buy you a sweet car thats already built.

eg: my R32 cost me $13k !!! :thumbsup:

why not save up and then buy a ready to go one??

but then again, building a car is an experience... hard to say if its good or bad (we all know about my EF XR6T lol)

$25k will get you a decent way with a build... how fast are you looking to go?

because you can get 11s cheaply, 10s a bit more, but single digit times... yeh bulk coin... if you want, i can PM you a list of my expenses as of 4 months ago (yeh bit slack), but im aiming for 7s/low 8s .. so different paths i think

I kinda agree with you there Chris. Guys, he asked a question that wasnt really answered. Yeah, he could have added a bit more info into the first post, but you all started flaming about the cost before you realised. Besides, building the car is half the fun, especially considering you two are bonding over it.

Wish I could do this with my dad :D

Good luck man, I dont agree with the motor thing, but thats just me :P

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      I much prefer that to an actual oil pressure issue, never would of thought it would of been a volt drop issue but SAU brains win again. Guess ill be turning down the oil pressure limit for the track and hunting some grounds. Ill hopefully update this thread with some high oil pressure and solid ecu voltage logs.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      You've just discovered a really good reason to tell yourself, yes, I do need to buy an aftermarket ECU. Put the MAF in the bin. Slap in the new ECU and have a think about what turbo sounds you prefer.  Do you want a 90's style BOV wooosh? Do you want a hektik tsututututu?  Mate, can't go wrong. Just gotta get that ECU and the world is your oyster.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Iam just curisou about this topic. I saw this video. It is about Greddy Type FV2. I know that BoVs are about that sound but how and when to use it? I read some topic here and from what i have understand on stock RB with MAF there will be some "problems" if you use this BoV? It vents the air in to the atmosphere and the MAF on stock car needs this air back in to the intake and not out? Or is it wrong? If so...i saw you can put some adaptor to circule air back...but does that not "loose" that sound? I saw another BoV from Turbosmart and it has two "exhaust" like ports? One is for the stock tubing for letting air back and one is for "sound" and let the air in the atmosphere? Can someone please explain? This is the Greddy one:  And this is the Turbosmart.     THANK YOU!! EDIT: So i read about this topic some more and i if i understand that correctly: That Greddy can function either like BoV or 100% Bypass valve? And that Turbosmart is what they called hybrid so you can adjust what and how many air can be vented out or back in? Is this right? THX!

      That dirty voltage drop is the culprit I suspect
