ahh yes! get in now, suprise them downt south at the july track day :ermm:

Even just with the turbo working properly it will be a surprise..last time I was there I was limited to 210rwkw before the clutch started slipping

this is true

fingers crossed nothing goes wrong this time :ermm:

Ian,

Regardless of the big end being spun, you will still have to do machine work, pistons, rods, rings and service the head. Then you look at turbos so kiss 5k there away by the time you add dumps etc. What about cams that can be another 1500 - 2000 gone right there. And theres the small things like speedflow fittings, braided hose, brackets and fittings that swallow a lot of cash really quickly.

shane thats because you have set huge power figures for yourself and you spun a bigend, both of which I have not done.

25k doesnt include a new gearbox to handle such power or diffs, so realisticly to build a reliable gtr 25k will be the end price, no matter on power figure.

jesus christ i went to bed at 4:30 pm and just woke up ready to go clubbing thinking it was about 7:00pm :|

i lol at ur stupidity :(

spoken like a man who'se built a car himself :)

Still troy, I think with 20k you can build quite a reliable RB26 to put out 400 HP if you allready have the engine with money left to spare to respray the car.

u can do it cheaply, but dont expect it to hold together for too long. hence the price figures that go along with any type of decent and reliable build. You dont start realising how much it cots until ur half way trhough it, and then its too late.

All this talk about GTR's and the cost to rebuild them is scaring me....... I think I will stick to my RB25 and see what I can get out of it safely. Plus paint it. Plus a new turbo. Plus new injectors.

Still cheaper than the GTR and any needed rebuild.

And 90% of the time just as fun...if not more, response FTW (And before anyone says it yes GTRs even stock are laggy)

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
