photobucket being greedy has killed your thread mate, time for a switch to imgur dude

I thought the same at first, but that cover car is running fats and skinnies so no awd drivetrain i don't think, tough car though.

what Mathew said! whatever happened to doing something different? bloody hell, there's a dude building a torana hatchback on here with full r32 gtr running gear... Let's see something original, some innovation and some skilled fabrication! geez if he has the time and budget to do it i say go for it, i can't wait to follow the build and see the results. or let's just be like a whole bunch of other modified skylines on here and not have anything unique...

I can't see how VQ conversions would help, they're a very compact engine, the vq30det is quite small

damn this thing must fly! awesome dude, can't wait to see the results after the fuel system is sorted, might as well upgrade it to e85 spec too hey she'll make some big numbers then!

Great build mate, good updates, shame its been tarnished by a bit of immaturity, doesn't this place have mods to delete that sort of crap?

awesome car dude, it's good to see someone persevering with these cars when so many put them in the too hard basket. I still think they're a great platform

put me down for one. cheers

do you know if that upgrade would use the same bits on a series 1? i'm planning on buying an r34 gt-t brake setup so i'm hoping the lines mentioned above would work on mine too.

do you happen to have the drivers side weather shield for the c34?

i'm also chasing a drivers side one for an s1 if anyone is able to help me out.

really nice gu you picked up there mate, please get a tranny cooler put in too, auto's in forby's get hot with lots of beach work and towing etc and with you chucking a turbo on it as well it's going to be working hard! the motors are also designed with low down torque in mind, they might not go so hard 'for 4.5' litres on road, but when your climbing a hill with the revs at 1100rpm and it keeps on pulling you realise how they work. also you might want to look at a set of stronger rods, the tb45 ones aren't known to last long with boost in them, tb42 rods are a fair bit stronger and cheap too plenty of info on outer limits forums if your interested keep us updated

that's some good news, hopefully she's still healthy and ready to punch out some numbers

a mate of mine was telling me a lot of the earlier 6boost manifolds did this, apparently he made an alteration which has fixed the problem and they hold the set boost with no problem now, i'd get onto the 6boost dude and just ask if it's true

the vq25det is also not the only turbo vq series engine the vq30det came out in y32 cima's and other luxury nissans and is a pretty good motor, dude here been making nearly 500rwhp on standard one for quite a while now, they'll also do 300rwhp on a stock turbo (with a manual) however the stock turbo is like other nissan turbo's, doesn't like more than 1 bar or it shits out a ceramic wheel awesome car dude

no one can help me?

as stated in title chasing some bolt on fender flares to suit a dr30 sedan any help would be much appreciated cheers Trav

wouldn't hurt to do a bit of research into PWR dude they're very well respected worldwide and are used in some top cars their products would be easily comparable to anything made japan or the us etc

FJ20 Turbo 5 speed gbox- $750ono dr30 complete rear cradle - $750ono (will find out today if it's lsd, pretty sure it is) fj20 turbo tailshaft -$200 fj20 wiring loom and ecu $200 the Passage is complete minus rear cradle and front struts hubs etc has damage to drivers side strut tower and right rear quarter rest is in pretty good condition apart from some minor pin dents etc has original redtop eccs rb20det in good condition and 5 speed manual have front fenders in good condition in original colour as well as a new bonnet these aren't perfect but are straight pm me anything you need from the Passage and i'll get back to you with a price will also take offers on the entire car and all the parts i have for it pm me on here if your interested in anything

lol well done Ghostrider MrMayhem would have forgotten more about nissans than you'll ever know, the fact that he's owned and modified more than i care to remember means i listen very carefully when he offers his advice personally i went the hr31 rear end because as mentioned before, i already have a brand new mechanical lsd to suit the hr31 rear end, as well as the 5 stud conversion and brakes why the f**k would i go to all the trouble of getting the same done to a dr30 rear end when i can just unbolt the 31 stuff and bolt it into the dr30?

figured i'd bump up this thread as my question is related my project has been a hr31 passage gt which for various reasons can't be completed i've bought a new mechanical centre, done five stud conversion and upgraded the brakes i've been offered a dr30 sedan and while i know the entire rear cradle can be dropped in allowing me to use my 5 stud rear end with the upgraded brakes etc i'm wondering if the hr31 struts will fit as well? if not i'll need to get the 5 stud done on the front which means more money any help would be much appreciated

i ran a 34 neo turbo on my redtop 20 for ages with no tune, was very very rich, when it did go on the dyno the afr's dropped of the scale to below 10:1 got an old style safc tuned on it and picked up 50hp and heaps better fuel economy:)
