Quickly goin through that list, it reads like somethin from a fast'n'furious catalogue. Surprised it doesnt have a momo suck off valve, j/k

Im no mechanic, but Im assuming this is a GTSt?

The power figure (280ish' kw), which is impressive seems about right with that turbo setup. Provided you can get the power to the ground, it would be fair to say at least a 12sec car. At the same time the turbo would still be responsive down low (rpm) for everyday driving.

Dont think you mentioned the amount of boost when it ran the 380hp, or the size of the injectors? Are any of the internals strengthened? Otherwise, I would think its on, if not over the limits of the factory internals.

In regards to your mate's brother the mechanic, please prove me wrong that his ideal car is a not a Falcadore . I'd be interested to hear as to what he believes would be a 'good setup & make the car not go like a bucket'.

I've yet to drive a Skyline at those power levels, but from my experience im sure it would handle better than a 270rwkw Supra :Paranoid: .

Also, if given an ideal suspension set up, the car definately has the potential to be a competitive drift or track car.  At the same time I do know that the turbo would still be responsive down low (rpm) for everyday driving.

Hehe, Not to burst your bubble but you won't hit 12's with that power. Oh and why knocking supras? i made 380hp in mine, with only exhaust/fmic and a pod

[Spangers]

Thanks guys for your input, I think it ran 380hp at 1.2 bar but im not exactly sure. All internals are stardard as far as i know. Im getting a mechanical inspection done soon and when I get the results ill post them.

Yeh, lol...you only need 300hp in an R32 GTST to run 12s:)

And that setup sounds good to me, Aftermarket turbo with a flexible management system, diff, and support systems...all the goodies

[CerealKiller]

your mechanic mate has no idea. That R32 sounds pretty decent and will get you easily into the 12's...

sounds like a fairly complete package to me.

HKS 2850????? :|:|:|:|

How come this aint shown on the HKS website?

I got the GT2835 which is there, and then it skips to a GT3037

[Mr R32 M-Spec]

I was just thinking I've never heard of that turbo type before, sounds the goods mate. this mechanic is judging the car before he looks at it by the sounds of it.

Looking at that list it sounds pretty decent!

[krzysiu]

Just check up on the turbo because i think the HKS GT2850 does not exist...

I think your mates brothers mechanics cousins sister better go back to tafe because it sounds like he/she/it hasnt the faintest idea what they are talking about.

Sorry to burst YOUR bubble but you will do 12s with that power

I have a mate with an R32 making 300rwhp and has run a 12.8

Has less mods than that car

[someonestolecc]

Maybe it's a garret not HKS model number?

[Spangers]

Maybe it's a garret not HKS model number?

Yeh dunno, the seller says its HKS and by the look of the mods he prefers HKS. It does say that it is a HKS GT2850 wastegate special full turbine kit. Dunno all the work was done in Japan so maybe that has somthin 2 do with it?

[Frosty]

have heard of that kit

try greenline or taka kiara as they used to sell it

BTW: That car sounds like the goods

[FastSkyline?]

Hmm. well i've raced a gtst with 210rwkw which is about.... 340hp in my old 91 soarer, and absolutely killed it, that was on the highway though, cant expect much out of an RB on the highway.

Are you saying the GTSt had 210rwkw & your Soarer had 340hp? :confused: Coz, 340hp=253kw & anyone can go fast in a straight line, esp if you have more power. I guess there were no twisty bits on this highway.

...cant expect much out of an RB on the highway.

I hope you realise the repercussions of those words on a Skyline forum. :headshot:

For future reference dont think Spangers wants to hear about your latest kill or any of your other illegal racing exploits.

I was talking about HP @the flywheel, my soarer was about 380hp.
