Offers?

Thanks Andy. Still interested to know if anyone has before and after dynoed their car to see what the difference was.

Any before and after dyno results?

Yeah but you low balled me after 45 minutes. I have actually been offered less on Boostcruising for them! Do Nissan make R33 calipers and discs for pushbikes as well? Well you learn something new every day!

Wheels spacers in general are a no no I'm afraid. It shouldn't be hard to borrow a set of wheels in the appropriate size for rego inspection though. The spacers will be ok just driving around and won't get you in trouble unless you're being silly and its just one more defect thing but an inspection station won't pass the car with them on.

So do you have to program ALL the gearbox changing from scratch with that or is there a feature where it 'learns' the factory settings first? It would be a time consuming and laborious task if it all had to be done from scratch wouldn't it? I imagine Nissan spent a lot of time and money getting the shift points right under all conditions etc.

Fastest low ball ever.

As above I have a set of R33 calipers with aftermarket pads (unknown which brand) and a set of R33 discs to go with it. Perfect upgrade for your R32. $400 ono. Located in Launceston. Cheers Rich 0435 659 059

Waaaaahhhhh!!!! I want one!

Lot of work done Damo!!! I think I need some thing with an ARC badge as well. Nice pick up on the Bilsteins, they ride so well and are well worth the extra cash you pay for them I think. I probably think this because my car has some as well and I want to be a Bilstein fan boy.

Fixed for you.

Phil, the post is over a year old and both are long gone.

Scott, check this thread out. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Vq...tt-t283253.html

I'm pretty sure OkBanana in his build said there was a heap of aftermarket support for the VQ30 in the USA. Anyway, it sounds like your mind is made up so let us know how you go.

Fair point I didn't check the bore on the 2 engines and thought thextra cc was from stroke rather than bore. Anyway, I guess I'm just thinking along the lines of what I would do if I was in Scott's position. $2k for a front cut, keep what he wants and sell of the rest to reduce the cost and it would be more of a bolt in proposition. Hopefully Scott will chime in with what he wants to do here and I'm guessing his mind is somewhat made up? I'm excited for him whatever he chooses but I know cost wise for myself I would go the way I have mentioned but I don't want heaps of power either, in my experience too much power and everything breaks, the car's off the road always fixing something.

What does it matter if the VQ30 is older? If the motor is in good condition then it shouldn't matter and you could possibly build a hybrid 25/30 if the VQ25 heads were better and those heads on a VQ30 bottom end may give you the compression you're after. A built motor is going to cost a bit with machining, parts etc and then what gearbox behind it? I don't think Scott needs to throw big dollars at an engine that will suit his power goal. A GT35 on a 3L will be plenty I would think and it's been done before a couple of times in WA with success. It's always nice to have something unique but that always comes at a cost. I think you would be asking a lot of an untried combination with a high compression, big turbo build. If you have deep pockets, go for it but I would go for the tried and tested option personally, but hey I like things to be as easy and bolt on as possible where I can get away with it.

I think you should go for a Vq30Det and swap the intake over from the VQ25 so it goes to the drivers side. A 3L motor should have a lot of extra roque over the 2.5 and the 3L is already built to take turbo from the factory and there is plenty of aftermarket support. A few people are getting good power out of the VQ30 without issue thus far. I know on paper the VQ30 doesn't look as good but that is probably ecu related or cams but it's essentially the same motor. Plus, VQ30's are pretty cheap. I would hazard a guess that the 3L could be run on your existing ecu as well especially with the emanage. I know you can run a 2jzgte on a 1jzgte ecu and sensors and it 'learns' the fuel map for the bigger injectors (370cc versus 440cc). Personally I would always go for the factory turbo motor as it's been built to run boost.

Yes, such as an ecu write up? Maybe it needs its own thread. I want a Nismo ecu as well. Someone find me one and I'll buy it.

So anyway back ON topic what was wrong with your car was it the AFM or something else?

Are you finding your car to be a lot more economical with the Nismo ecu Craig?

Do some mods while you're waiting!!!

Cost?? even approximately.

If you can buy a mines or nismo ecu I will be up for that.

Whats the code on the build plate if it has LSD fitted?

Well it sounds like the Blue Vision are the go then, I had these on my previous car and they were a marked improvement on the factory bulbs.
