What is not "kept stock" with this fine vehicle?

ps - I know this looks like a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt. But that's only because it is a Time Attack car that has no place on dirt.

Needs more dirt/mud

Good luck with that. You don't have your Skyline because it was a sound economic decision...

actually at the time it was. I purchased mine for less than $20,000 back in 2003 and had genuine 55,000km on it for an almost stock late 94 model R32. Subsequent to that, its been (and still is) a very bad economic decision. Having said that, I love my car and will treasure it for as long as I can until that spark is extinguished within me.

Also I have yet to see anyone materialise any significant ROI from such motor vehicles (unless ex group A car or alike) hence - unless a very rare collectible, you will always realise a loss on motor vehicles.

Fair enough, the next piece of hassle saving advice is dont turbo the N/A engine. Bin it and buy a Turbo engine, less hassle and its the correct compression ratio.

As chants has informed me the gt-v it a turbo engine minus the turbo so all compression ad internals are turbo parts

Alright well I'm gonna put this out there. Whoever wants parts at trade price pm me and we will talk ;)

Offer to sauqld members only and I might not be able to get all parts

I'm hearing varying opinions on this. I've always been against turboing an NA but it seems that a number of people are having a lot of luck with the RB25DE+T. My thoughts are, we need to buy a manifold and turbo anyway. Buy it attach it, it engine goes boom, buy new motor or bottom end as required and move on. If it doesn't go boom, happy days.

BTW, when you're shopping for turbo on the GT-V, make sure you get low mount kit not high mount kit. Mate and I discovered that top bit of intake runners hitting the turbo.

Definitely. it's going to be a daily so don't want the attention if a high mount.

Call me skeptical but I massively doubt that Nissan would give the gt-v a low compression version of the 25de. Why would they make a new version of the engine to make it less powerful and less efficient?

Oh, mate is doing a track car so legalities doesn't worry him.

Is high mount legal?

No idea about QLD but not legal in VIC unless it comes from factory (think late model N12 Pulsar ET).

Turboing an n/a works well when you run low boost on a turbo capable of flowing lots of air at low pressures. on the n/a block is there provision for oil and water lines for the turbo?

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
