well I can answer the alice springs question....don't worry about it!

The BP there has ultimate (if you can afford it lol). It does get hot so just make sure you don't get a super agressive tune....easy.

Like RBNT the only problem I had was blowing out the plastic inner guard liner about 10klm over the border when we first hit 180 :)

Oh and keep stock suspension....there's no corners up there :O

Cereal Killer, I also considered the straight swap for RB26DETT as well but the trouble is, you really don't know what sort of condition the RB26 is in either. It too will eventually require a rebuild and then you're up for the price of the new engine plus the price of the rebuild!

fit the rb26 pistons lower compression 8.6 as opposed to 9 to 1 around 110-120 each and would suit your needs. rb26 crank and rods also fit they would probalby add an extra grand plus to the job.

the rest should be fine I would gopower fc and z32 afm to start b4 doing injector I would also go 2540 or td06 20g rather than 2535. or a 500 hp roller from garret.

Why waste the money when you arn't going to use the potential.

Simply rebuild the stocker with a set of forged pistons.

Slap a huffer on it to make from 250-300rwkw and off u go. Why settle for only 250rwkw?!

If not stick with the 2535 drop the comp to 8:5:1 and use stocker pistons.

what he said.. $1200 or so for a forged piston kit, and general clean up on your bottom end. Might be able to get it done for under $3500 - shouldn't have to touch the head.

Don't get sucked in by expensive rods, expensive head gaskets, aftermarket cams and all other crap. RB25DET will do 300rwkw with a good condition engine, just give it forgies and make it safer.

    • Yeah, that's when. I guess you could say I'm as patient as I am foolish(or just a masochist?🤔). I've strongly considered throwing in the towel and calling it all quits many times, and have almost done so. It's a first-world problem for sure, but I've had a pretty rough go of it, as well as other factors; hoping something good comes of all this; it has to. It definitely is half the price of the ATS and performs great, but I'd like to try something different for once. I've sampled the ATS in a friend's 32 and it's solid👍
    • I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.
    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
