K&N or drift filter never have an issue again. Take it off and put it on with a socket. Save ur hands and ur time.

Who cares. Trust mate that's what I am talking about. That's why its important that you have a engine builder that you have a good relationship with. Mate people buy new cars and get slaughtered by dealership workshops every day, for what. They plug in a computer and change some fluids for 600 a pop. Apprentices work on the cars while the supervisor is too busy sorting out the stuff ups. You want a workshop to talk to you about your car and treat it as their own. Eventually its a win win. My Mate who has a blown gen 3 has been running low 10s for 10 years has got 300 000km. In 2003 spent 10 on the motor had a freshen up 3 years ago cost him about 3k. Car runs better than ever. He does a basic service every 5000 and gets everything at cost through the workshop. Win win. That's the type of relationship I want with my engine builder. Each to their own I suppose.

Don't know. Not an engine builder. But I do listen to experts that know and do it over and over again with results to back it up. This guy wants advice just trying to help. Just speak to an engine builder that has the runs on the board. The freshen up issue is up to the individual mate but in my mind if it's going to cost me 2k every 7 years its a good safe guard. That's $5 a week on a 30k set up. Makes sense to me. Everyone is different I suppose.

I woould rather spend 2k for a freshen up than 10k on a full rebuild. But that's me. That's the way I do things and never had issues. All you every hear on forums everywhere is hipo motors having issues after 5 years. Then getting sold because people have had enough. My mechanic has done this to all his cars and his regulars that's why his 9 to 11sec cars have never failed and a lot of them are more than 15years old running massive boost on all rbs and ls engines. Speak to any engine builder and they will say the same thing. I plan on keeping gtr for a life time so I don't mind

Honestly....I would develop a fantastic relationship with a workshop and get them to build the thing. Price sounds about right but its the things you can't put a dollar value to that are important. You take $1000 off the price somehow and eventually you will be paying $5000 back to them or someone else.

Been down this road a few times. I think the best place to start is what power you want rather than how much money you want to spend. If you don't know then go for a drive in cars with different set ups and power levels and see which one you want. This will dictate what engine specs you need and the supporting mods, turbos, cooling etc etc. Just remember, just because you build an engine capable of 450+ kW and run it at 370 doesn't mean over time it won't wear, it won't break but it will wear. So doesn't matter what you build if you want to keep the car forever its a good idea to freshen it up every 5 or so years. Point is if you have a stock engine and want 400+ and reliability and need to upgrade other stuff you probably need deeper pockets. If you want a forged bottom end and run 330kw and the rest of your stuff is OK then you will have a fair bit of change left over for you freshen up in 5 years..ha ha Summary...go to a sau meeting and go for a drive and see what you want first and network with other members and don't rush mate and what ever you do don't get hooked up on dyno figures, get hooked on driving experience.

Ha Ha Ha. You actually saying that we have to open the bonnet and check the fluids once in a while? ?? That is ludicrous, ridiculous, unbelievable. ..how dare you

Hey guys. Not sold. No hand controller. Pm have been sent. Thanks

Hey mate interested in the driver's doorcard. can you pm me and cost to send to melbourne. thanks

Anyone?????

Just go for a drive in one first because if it's a daily might be hard to live with. I recon just go with the stiffer rear sway bar and see what it does to the balance. Might be all that's needed and the cheapest option. Cheers

No 15 hicas lock bar for me. pm me to organise thanks

Just pulled it out of the car. Ready to go. Serial number is: PFC RB26 9807-0035

As above for AFMs . Never missed a beat and is still in the car Reason for sale is going for another setup. It has been tune for a stock engine with stock turbos very safe tune.
