the car is a 99? it's had 13 years of whatever people wanna do to it, not nissans fault! as the certifier/engineers that did my car said most the nissans are on about their 4th bastardiser!, if you have a later nissan with a cvt and a stretched timing chain etc you can probably comnplain a bit!haha
/\/\ this is gonna get locked, 25 with 3076 highflow or various, only gtr box if 4wd gts4 which box is very similar anyway, gtr box can go rwd but a bit of hass
so hard to say, there's alot of not great mechanics around but also alot of people turn up with a car that's not prepared(and maybe a can of worms), maybe get back to basics and check everthing over for fresh attempt
I agree with it being hard to find good mechanics, that's why you do it yourself, also hard to fix problems when you're not sure what you're starting with
i drove a guys 33 one day to see how the turbo was, it had a megaphone exhaust with screamer and the loudest bov in the world, everyone gave me the hate looks within 1 minute of driving, before even flooring it, As quiet as possible is the goal I reckon
38 tial v band, plumbed back, certified, doesn't seem to be restricing power? screamer will attract unwanted attention and will fume the car out like the biggest purposely made exhaust leak, they're not illegal just for the noise
are they familiar with rb and turbos? sounds bad they have no pointers on why it's detonating? o44 & 740s should have plenty of fuel, maybe try somewhere else before they run out of det. time?
quite often if you bend one piece of the suspension you bend everything (in that corner), i know someone did something similar in a r32 recently which pushed the chassis rail back about an inch aswell, ...is on the chassis machine next week
the 33 is the bargain, 25 etc without spending heaps or rolling around on the garage floor alot
if you put the 25 box in the 32 theres 30-35kg weight advantage lost and seems marginal from there?
the newer models being slightly wider and having the petrol tank a bit further forward seem to feel a bit better?
which ever shape you like you can't go wrong they're all good!
i've had a number of de daily drivers, seem to be pretty hungry 12-13l/100km (around town driving mostly), going along with the under engined thoery the 25s used less gas than the 20e & 20de and go alot better
