to rbsileighty

at the moment it all comes down to budget coz i dont have a verry big one

im not a verry paitient man i want power and i want it now he he he he

i love the rb26 motor and all

probebly more than the rb20 and the rb25 put togather

but i have to think would it be worth it to can the whole idea

and jump on the GTR band wagon

and sell the GTST for one.

i dont know desicions desicions

i must admit im a bit wary of the rb25 im not sure why though he he he

their is another option i could stroke the rb20

i think they come as a rb24

or rb22 any way chears for the imfo

it gets the old grey matter ticking :wavey:

That is one thing I do not have the luxury of... trading a GTS-T in on a GTR. This would definitely be in my list of considerations if I was you. In your shoes my list would be the following:

1. Reasonably build the 20... maybe head gasket, pistons, rings and rods if you need a freshened motor... and have some good ol' fun with it.

2. Trade in the ol' GTS-T on a GTR (using the money that would have gone into moding the 20 to make up the difference... maybe finance a little)

3. Do a RWD 26 swap on the GTS-T

I know I'm going to have opposition to this from some people, and I am cool with that... it's not their car... or mine for that matter. Different strokes for different folks.

one good thing about the 26 motor in the GTST is the fact

that the GTST is is about 300 kgs lighter than the GTR which = fun

im not sure what that is in pound but it is some big weight

my motor is still pretty fresh only about 80,000 on the klock

so not ready for a rebuild just yet

    • Im loving this thread. I have a g35/900 t4 split 1.00 ar going on my rb30/25 with 9:1 and 264 cams. its drive by wire and with vct i think it should spool nicely. I have the 8speed gearbox on the floor ready to go on so full boost changes will be a thing if the tyres can deal with it. it should always be on boost
    • The trouble for me is the automatic takes away so much from it. And the E92 has hydraulic power steering. Even after putting in an LSD you're looking at re-mapping the xDrive to be more like a Skyline which is just a lot of effort for something that is supposed to be easier and cheaper. I consider the E92 335i 6MT to basically be the obviously superior car to something like an R34 GTT. Half the price out here, the N54 makes so much more power so easily, is a far more refined car, etc. You do have to deal with the nightmare of the N54's foibles vs the B58 which is comparatively miles better and if a turbo does fail it's only one of them vs two and a lot less pipe spaghetti.  996 or 997 Turbo has the AWD system mapped like a Skyline. Basically always RWD unless engaging the front axle makes sense. A coworker let me drive his 997.2 Turbo 6MT and it's absolutely tremendous. I don't think I'd want more power in a street car.
    • I'm purely suggesting, what every multinational business out there presently does! And the world governments all day it's legal.
    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.
