i have done a search, and know what i can get, but want to shop around for the best prices, also would like to hear peoples own experiences/opinions of the different kits

somewhere around the 500 to 600awhp mark would be fun :)

Prices tend to vary week to week with some places, so what was good 6 months ago won't be good today.

You really need to do your own investigations RE: pricing.

As for what stroker is best - as above, answer the questions.

car will just be a weekender with a little bit of track work + 1/4 mile runs - would love to hit the 10;s down the 1/4

budget is really depending how far i want to go, im still undecided how much cash i want to throw at the car

turbos will be whatever will get me 550 to 600 with minimal lag, i dont want a lag monstor, but i still do want some top end....and like i said before i want to hit the 10;s (running standard turbos atm)

10.99 or 10.00 ?

There is a sizeable difference between the two, and depending on the state you live in, if you are faster than 10.99 there is a whole wad of cash you need to allocate to having a car that fits the tracks requirements (as most are still living in the dark ages sadly).

So you really need to start by setting a budget...

Also do you realise such a goal can be done (and has been) with stock 2.6l capacity many times over and fairly easily/cheaply?

^^ This.

Whats your budget first and foremost? A 10.9 is achievable rather easy and reliably on a forged 2.6. For street use and drags where your going to be launching off the mark I cant see the need to spent the extra $$$'s for a stroker kit, yes it makes a difference but then you would be asking youself the question why not go rb30 ?

Again this depends on factors like the current condition of your crank etc. If its in good nick I'd just be getting the crank linished, fit a collar onto it, sort oil issues out by getting a good pump, sump baffles and restrictors, forged pistons, rods and whack a nice big precision turbo on it to get you 400kw+ and the 10 second pass your looking at.

if you're not a purist and don't mind an RB30, speak to Rob @ RIPS NZ, he has engines ready to go from time-to-time, people start projects, don't finish them etc etc... his RB30 builds are super price competitive when you compare to a 2.8 stroker.

Stick with the std crank and enjoy the 8k left in your bank to do 10-12 track days or go on a holiday with the change. You will still have a bonkers fast car with a properly sorted 2.6L. But if you must surely the Brian Crower kits add up on the performance vs cost stakes

yeah, there's definitely some cheaper options out there now than the Japan stuff. BC, MGT Racing in UK has a 2.8 kit, approx 3500 GBP from memory, then there's Spool (AUD help there as well) - very little info though on the non-Jap 2.8 kits that i could find...

although, i was told be a bit wary of the BC stuff...

Yea but knowing race pace, you mite as well buy a jap kit, because it will most Likly be cheaper than the gold plated parts u get from race pace

That's a bit low Deano.

Atleast they work... IE the exhausts unlike the junk you get off the shelf from Japan. :P.

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 馃槈. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 馃槏.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 馃檹 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 馃槈. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 馃槏 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
