Lucien, the turbos should be fine at up to 1 bar.
This isnt like the gts-t's - they dont get as hot as the one single turbo, because there are two of them.
you shouldnt damage the motor by taking it out.
I have done mine, and it is fine. It is definitely MUCH quicker.
1 bar is about the limit on stock turbos if you want them to last
The problem with buying any cars that have any sort of chassis damage is that the chassis can creak, or bend because it is slightly warped or damaged.
I had one with some 'slight' damage to one of the rails, and let me tell you, it made a helluva creaking noise whenever i went over a speed hump
rusty underbody -> yes
bent/dented/bumped chassis rails -> yes
crunching into 5th -> worn synchros on 4th and 5th gears are common on the gtr box. it could be as simple as doing an oil change on the gearbox, or it may be fully stuffed
catless exhaust, no o2 sensor? wtf ? that cant even be registered
strange noise could be just the noise a multi plate clutch makes, or it could be a problem with the front diff/transfer case ?
door/window seals are easier to replace than most other thinsg
bubble ?
I'd probably also need some advice in regards to this -
I need to get installed - cams, gears, injectors, fuel pump, sump baffle kit, maybe a metal head gasket, and the clutch.
Where can I get this done, where it wont cost the world ?
Mmmmmm
I might just jump in here and say I've gone down the GT2560R bandwagon. Apparently they're 320hp, and im really curious to see how they go against these SS's.
My girlfriend is spewing when i told her how much im spending
