he needs to budget for a rebuild, or the turbos dropping wheels etc etc :huh:

Although i'd budget closer to 9-10k as once the motor is out (if it lets go) your may aswell do turbos too.

As thats more than likely what it will come down to in a 32-R

In the high 20's you can get R32 GTR's with fully rebuilt engines and turbos and some other goodies. I can't believe the prices people pay for stockers when there are some really good modified ones out there at low prices.

I don't really wanta spead 30k on a car i don't mind in the 20's

I'm only going to have it 1 - 2 years then i'll sell it and get myself a unit

i don't want something with huge Power so mods ain't a big deal i want about 220 to 300 kw

I want the Volk Gt-c Rims there $3000 + $1000 on tyres

so i might have 30k all up but only spead 26k

I had mad R32 Gtr lined up just b4 i sold my Gts-t for 21k it was mint as clean as good compression

then i got book and got myself a 6 month lost of P's and i didn't want it out the front for that long

I should be right they might drop a little in Price and Lots of the trash will have been rebuilt by june

If you want to spend $30k including purchase of the car, wheels and incidentals (insurance?).....

Then I think you can rule out an R34 GT-t basically.

You'd get a decent R32 GT-R for that money, probably with a decent set of wheels on it as well.

I would personally try and dig up a couple of extra grand and get the GT-t seeing as it's going to be a daily driver.

R32 GT-R's are awesome, but if you're going to want a daily driver for around 1-2 years then I'd go the GT-t.

    • Lucky man, who owns it in the family? Any pics? 
    • The engine stuff is Greg Autism to the Max. I contacted Tony Mamo previously from AFR who went off to make his own company to further refine AFR heads. He is a wizard in US LS world. Pretty much the best person on earth who will sell you things he's done weird wizard magic to. The cam spec is not too different. I have a 232/234 .600/603 lift, 114LSA cam currently. The new one is 227/233 .638 .634. The 1.8 ratio roller rockers will effectively push this cam into the ~.670 range. These also get Mamo'ified to be drilled out and tapped to use a 10mm bolt over an 8mm for better stability. This is what lead to the cam being specced. The plan is to run it to 6800. (6600 currently). The Johnson lifters are to maintain proper lift at heavy use which is something the LS7's supposedly fail at and lose a bit of pressure, robbing you of lift at higher RPM. Hollow stem valves for better, well everything, Valve train control. I dunno. Hollow is better. The valves are also not on a standard valve angle. Compression ratio is going from 10.6 to 11.3. The cam is smaller, but also not really... The cam was specced when I generated a chart where I counted the frames of a lap video I had and noted how much of the time in % I spent at what RPM while on track at Sandown. The current cam/heads are a bit mismatched, the standard LS1 heads are the restriction to power, which is why everyone CNC's them to get a pretty solid improvement. Most of the difference between LS1->LS2->LS3 is really just better stock heads. The current cam is falling over about 600rpm earlier than it 'should' given the rest of my current setup. CNC'ing heads closes the gap with regards to heads. Aftermarket heads eliminate the gap and go further. The MMS heads go even further than that, and the heads I have in the box could quite easily be bolted to a 7.0 427ci or 454 and not be any restriction at all. Tony Mamo previously worked with AFR, designed new heads from scratch then eventually founded his own business. There he takes the AFR items and performs further wizardry, CNC'ing them and then manually porting the result. He also ports the FAST102 composite manifold: Before and after There's also an improved racing crank scraper and windage tray. Helps to keep oil in the pan. Supposedly gains 2% power. Tony also ports Melling oil pumps, so you get more oil pressure down low at idle, and the same as what you want up top thanks to a suitable relief spring. There's also the timing chain kit with a Torrington bearing to make sure the cam doesn't have any thrust. Yes I'll post a before and after when it all eventually goes together. It'll probably make 2kw more than a setup that would be $15,000 cheaper :p
    • Because the cars wheels are on blocks, you slide under the car.   Pretty much all the bolts you touched should have been put in, but not fully torque up.   Back them off a turn or two, and then tighten them up from under the car with the wheels sitting on the blocks holding car up in the air.
    • Yes. Imagine you have the car on the ground, and you mine away all the ground under and around it, except for the area directly under each individual wheel. That's exactly how it'd look, except the ground will be what ever you make the bit under each wheel from
    • Yes, if you set the "height" right so that it's basically where it would be when sitting on the wheel. It's actually exactly how I tighten bolts that need to be done that way. However....urethane bushes do NOT need to be done that way. The bush slides on both the inner and outer. It's only rubber bushes that are bonded to the outer that need to be clamped to the crush tube in the "home" position. And my car is so full of sphericals now that I have very few that I need to do properly and I sometimes forget and have to go back and fix it afterwards!
