History of the Car...


Got a monster of a GTR that was built and tuned by a workshop in QLD and was registered there as well. Its got N1 Block, Tomei pistons, very lumpy cams (at least 270 deg), OS Giken triple

plate clutch, fuel surge tank and pretty much all top of the range parts to make a 1000hp on E85.


Previous owner left overseas and didn't bother renewing the Rego. Long story short, the car is in WA now and I have been asked to help with getting it engineered.


I spoke to an engineer who asked me to fill out the DPI modifications application and send it to him to review before sending it to DPI but I would also like to get a second opinion.



Questions ...

1. Can someone share their ideas or past experiences regarding such mods and if there is a chance of getting this thing registered in WA??

2. I would like to speak to a few workshops regarding the above, Any suggestions where to start?

Took the car to Dan Pitic (very nice guy) who advised on what needs to be changed. Also filled out the mods approval form for DPI and will have to wait and see what happens now.

T88 is the least of my worries at the moment, looks like money will be thrown either way.

    • Thanks for asking the question we were all thinking!
    • Does this apply if you use an aftermarket ecu as it probably doesn't have that functionality built it? (Assuming it doesn't, in my case, apexi)
    • Given you already have the engine cross member to match and likely gearbox mount to. The SR20 has a head start on the RB in this case. They handle GREAT with an SR20, lots of fun.   One I did back in the day
    • have no doubt and wanted too trust me and may regret later not necessarily worried about weight (would be 8 kg ish total) it was more the $$ to do it properly is about $6 - $7K in hardwear need long 310mm stroke jacks etc - plus install and call me whatever im not doing it myself even if wanted too cant weld etc  - thats $10K installed vs fraction of that cost while Ive spent some money on this POS I actually really dont like doing so unless its got a large chance to make me go faster 😁 hey in still carting this things around on a 15 yr old rusted open trailer so I can spend on racing not buy a new trailer to look better the manual jacks Ive had done are heavy and take space but are transportable and usable anywhere - taking or organizing even compressed air let alone nitrogen which is more whats needed coming from Perth to Winton or Sydney or the like honestly just adds to my brain headaches/ hurts of organisation also ha 15 mins job will get down to 2 - 5 min job vs 1 min job for airjacks - all tradeoffs I spose
    • Purely out of curiosity, how do you know all this @dbm7? Do you work with automatic gearboxes professionally? This goes way way way beyond "I've had an automatic Skyline once and did some mucking around"
