im getting a r32 gtr ... have a few questions

[munch_munch]

my first post .. hey everyone

Im looking to buy a 32 GTR soon and was wondering if you guys have any information about them. I used to own a Nissan 180SX CA18DET before and now i drive a 94 MR2 GT n/a around. I am 22 so im off my P's .. so looking to go back into the turbo world now

My budget is about 24k ... and i really want to try the RB26DETT skyline.

Just have a few questions for you!

1) Are they as good as people regard them? I know they come with 206kw and can breake low 13's stock, but what about reliablity for a 15y old engine?

2) When do the t28's max out? What power would i have to open up the engine? What boost do the turbos die at?

3) Whats the fuel consumption on these things?

4) Will i be able to get into mid-low 12's with bolt on's such as exhaust, pod's and boost up?

5) What should i look out for when buying one?

Thanks for your time ...

Chris

1) yes.. luck of the dice in terms of reliability when it comes to RB26dett

2) 230rwkw or so I think

3) high

4) yes

5) a good one just check for condition rather than km

They are very good but very expensive to maintain , make sure you have spare cash to rebuilt an engine if you get a dog .( 5-8 k)

Stock car mid 13 1/4 mile , with bolt ons the sky is the limit but be prepared to swap turbos or steel wheel them , ceramic turbos keep them bellow 14 psi .

I have an r33 , the only mods are , stock n1 turbos ( 1.2 bar with ebc ) front pipe + catback , power f/c and intercooler pipping ( one pipe burst ) with stock cooler , stock injectors ( on limit ) , stock airflow meters ( limit ) with stock airbox .

I have run 11.7 twice before they booted me @121 mph , the car is good for mid -low 11's with a good 60 ft .

this one doesn't look like an RB26.... look at the cam covers / timing belt cover... looks like an RB20

I called jspec about that one (two up) they said that they think its already going to be sold to one of there members but will get back to me if not

[munch_munch]

but isnt it better to buy it from here ... since u can also take it for a drive?

there is a few going for about $23k on carsales.

they look ok.

When you say expensive to maintain .. what do you mean?

i agree the white one is fat, if it had the stock front bar then would be much better
