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)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
