I wouldn't think that would be the case. I have heard on many occasions that the LS1 gearboxes can handle 1000hp. Surely they haven't made them weaker since then

Yeah i dont know Dan

Ive got stories galore... There is no resource like SAU for LS2's on the net... The forums thatare around are all about posting how bigger skid you did last night and not about the cars them selves. You get the feeling on those forums that everyone owns a VN and just says they own a GTS or a R8.... :P

What can you do...

I believe "Power Torque" are about the best in the business when it comes to Chev V8's...

Their talking $4700 for one weeks labour with the following;

* twin plate clutch

* LS2 edit (dyno time)

* sports camshaft

* performace headers

* new 2.5" twin system

* 110mm throttle body

* CAI with performace filter

* oil cooler

Sound pretty tempting... They seem to have a really good reputation so mabey after xmas Ill look into it...

True, but my 32 cost me $12.5k 5 years ago. How much did your mates LS2 cost?

Add of the cost then and you've got a 10 or 9 second skyline

Yeah see your point but to be fair R32's when brand new were around the same dollars as an ls2...

Think of it as a exercise for all 2007 model cars round the 50k mark...

How much do you need to spend on a 2007 model (insert car name here) to mark it 11 second car???

True...apples for apples I guess.

So what would you compare an LS2 with? I did a really nice crap about half hour ago. :P

I wounder if they brake the cam in half like the 6 cyl buick motor pre eco tech. Oh my bad im just judging all american motors must be the same :P

Same could be said for Rb20's, arhhhhhh :P

Nah in the spirit i guess Falcon Boss 290 vs SS Comm 270 would be about fair...

(edit: boss 290 is 10k more than a stock SS comm so its a bit of a price difference)

But i guess im just causious of the damage that can be made and the fact you chuck away factory warranty when stuffing with these things...

how much do you need to spend on a vp to get it to the 11 second mark

Hope...

It does not fall apart if you give it enough power to become an 11 second car

Can I ask, and answer honestlly...

Would you modify a brand new car???

Considering you have a perfectlly good car and all its gonna do is burn more fuel if you f**k with it...?

Also you would loose factory warranty and it could end up being a 50k+ mistake???

Would you honestlly modify???

Cause i think im talking myself out of it, that and id be killed by the mrs for touching another car...

Anyway time for bed for me, Dan if you hear anything about the gearbox's in the VE's let me know???

Cause one guys told me their the same as the V6 gearbox... Another said their good enough to run in drift cars then why worry...

Edit: Ive also been told that they can handle anywhere from stock to 1000rwkw so thats quite a varience...

I also called a gearbox shop and they said they have never had a VE to pull down so they not sure until they get a broken one... :P

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
