Drag and street dont go well together. Usually whats awsome on the street is dissapointing on the strip.

Not to mention we all live in the land of defects now. My advise would be to build a streetable car, that looks stock, but blows away 97% of the competition.

The recipe is a very well trodden and proven one.

*HKS 2530's with HKS actuators

*HKS Split dump pipes

*Full 3inch (minimum) exhaust. dB requirements are different from state to state, but around 90dB is the limit, so a couple of mufflers or a silencer is advisable.

*Apexi Power Fc

*Boost controller (HKS, Blits Apexi etc)

*minimum 660cc injectors

*larger Bosch in-tank fuel pump

*Cam Gears (Os Giken, Tomei, JUN)

*Minimum twin plate clutch

*Either Twin Pod set-up or higher flow air filter. But I would recommend still using standar air box.

*Nismo or Z32 Air Flow Metres

*upgraded brake pads

You dont really need another intercooler. Standard GTR will flow ok. Dont really need cams either, but HKS step 1 are a direct bolt in option, so they are pretty good.

Thats what is a great street car, and with tuning and installation 15-20k is around the right figure (if you are buying brand new components)

This will net you around 320rwkw.

Any more and it internal time, bigger everything (turbo, injectors, clutch, gearbox etc) add another 20-30k (including labour, tuning etc)

I agree with everything except you definately need an intercooler min 100mm. Air flow meters are debateable, maybe a set of coils.

    • Checked all hoses looks good  just removed cas and replaced rocker gasket   when i start this happened 
    • This is a great thread and going to be super helpful for me too.  We moved into this place 3 years ago and the single garage has a really high ceiling, enough for a lift, but the car has never even been in there. I have so many BMW parts and even a heap of parts from my R33's, the last of which I sold about 20 years ago. I'm sure I still have a HICAS lock bar.  I also have a saltwater aquarium and I have so many pumps and lights and supplements for that.  I really just need to chip away. Sort whats to keep, throw and sell. Like you guys I hate dealing with people online when selling stuff and I try to avoid it but a lot of this stuff will be useful to somebody and we already throw so much out.   I have lots of shelves, but they're not well organised or stacked so I need to start there probably.
    • Jumped in to do the trial with the Alfa around Watkin's Glen. I think I was around 1.16 flat which was good enough for gold at the time. The MX5 trial is tricky, its so had to keep the speed up.
    • Oh thank God its just not me !  I thought I was the only one and I was some weird arsed automotive hoarder that need an intervention. I've had a spare R33 in my garage since 07 and now its a blessing as I'm working on my car and all I have to do is turn around and there is the part I need ! !  Its like magic ! So keep every thing except the broken stuff. As was said plastic tubs are your friend Then again I've also got old Holden 6 projects that I work on from back in the 80s that I'm working on again for nostalgic reasons
