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

    • 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.
