330kw my standard box died and 450kw killed the second (did a fair few hard launches though I'll give it that!) although it's now been rebuilt with the OS Giken gearset and that held up ok at 450 and has copped a fairly hard time so far.

And you're right, more power = more issues! But if you want to dabble in that world that's what you get! :)

hahaha MOAR POWAH=Future issues... Wait for it all to start... How much you aiming for? Im expecting mine to be close to 300KW and that's ill i really want in a road car haha.

Well over 500kw at the wheels.. :)

300kw is to slow. I had 350awkw and it was not fast enough :)

Doubt i will have many problems as everything is being modified (running gear, gear box etc etc)

Mate down the road has a 580KW 32... I would never want to own that much power hahaha.

I wish you all the best and hope nothing blows up.

yes or no to LAG.

300+ on the streets with minimal lag is sufficient. The acceleration is linear. and yes can get boring the longer the streets you travel are.

450+ add lag but receive kick in the pants acceleration. Track - depending which one? - Drag - Yes

around the windy hills 300+ is fine

IMHO

as said before add more Powah can be costly

my GTR has 330awkws but I may go from -7's to -5's. Haven't decided and Im happy for now :D

Richard your gt-r will transform into a completely diff monster once you go up from -7's to -5's. Huge difference in "pulling power" esp up top.

Hey Sedat :cheers: great to hear from you. Take it all is going well with yours...

You doing the SAU NATS mate?

I beleive you. Just need to take that step. Might take drive in a mates to make my mind up for certain.

I'm fairly sure it's not far away and the -7's will be on my shelf if I ever decide to go back.

:D

R33 Natro

-fuel pump 8 days

-3 wheel studs in the space of a month

-seized coil overs

-spun big end

-blew up gear box

-ls1 loom shot

-unusable fly by wire throttle setup

I'm sure there's more...

Im good mate and how about your self ? I will not be making it to SAU NATS as my GT-R is currently undergoing a rebuild. And do not have enough time and money to purchase an R34 GT-R to make it to the NATS :(

Had an R32 GTR about 8 - 9 Yrs ago. Spent 20K after purchase on pretty nice upgrades and general awesomness.. Problems with slack workshops promising the world and only delivering 6 - 12 months off the road.. and still not right (Was told it was a cracked head.... probably just the aftermarket metal head gasket now that I know more about these cars). Got offered 13K which I took under pressure from a 'workshop' that had it sitting there for months with no work done to get rid of the headache. So much anger right now.

Very happy with an RB25 that I can work on now and get it professionally tuned. Ahhh all better.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 馃槀 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
