The 240rs stageas came with rb26 already in them (stock).. Otherwise most of them are rb25s..

AHahh once you buy an import, you not gonna stop with the mods list. It goes on and on and your temptation will be overturned with new mods each month!!

All the best tho..

260RS Stageas had the rb26

all the rest had rb25s as you said

theres no such thing as a 240RS

I agree with the rest, go the R34 GT-T.

Doesn't go as hard as a GTR or RZ, but it looks awesome, is practical, cheaper to run and won't break. Therefore, you won't have to pour money into it. Tough choice though.

I dont really care about trying to beat GTRs and stuff, im over 1/4 mile action!! Of course at the lights its always fun to have a squirt just to see how u go, but then again these days u have to be careful.

Thanks for the advice anyway everyone.. Much appreciated! I'm really falling for the 34 GT-T, not real keen on a 33.. Unless its a GTR, but anyway lets not go there!!

Andrew I'll be waiting for that ride!!!!

R34 GTT's are hot, no doubt. Good value to. :banana:

You can pick up a RS260 for around 33-39k, full GTR Autech Stagea, Rb26dett manual, 4wd, full gtr suspn etc. Awesome. A GTR with 5-doors, room for the family.

Or a RS4 Stagea, Rb25det auto or manual or tiptronic (Series2), 4wd, gtr front suspn gtst rear suspn, etc. Series1's or 2's for 12-20k. Nice. :( A true stealth wagon, no trouble with the law, & very responsive to mods. Or no mods - your car your choice.

My choice is to mod! :thumbsup:

R34GTt is a nice car but don't have a lend of yourself thinking you can beat a R32GTR.

R32 is around the same weight, more powerful and is 4 wheel drive. Maybe the person driving the R32 GTR that you say you beat, didn't care if you passed them.

My friend both cars have 280hp my car in fact is a bit lighter and has about the same amount of torque if not a bit more then an r32 gtr. so its compleatly possible for my car to beet the r32 considering the age of the r32 its very possible.

as for him being happy to see me fly by the case was this we were both in 3rd at 100km the front of his car was at my left side mirror all the way from 3 to finish.

I know that now i am going to be eaten alive for talking about this on this forum but dont think that the gtr is unbeetable

BY the way my car stock only 3 inch cat-back and a pod filter the gtr stock.

I love the GTR more then any other car outhere including ferrari lambo and so on

i hope that one day i will be able to get one>

Here we go again...

I agree totally, if you buy a good, well cared for R32 gtr, it won't cost you a heap of cash to maintain. It's only when you get the BUG and start improving it or upgrading things, when costs start to soar, as with any car.

What do you expect when you buy a early R32 gtr for 20K or less? Remember how much they were new???

It will not be in mint condition so budget at least 5K for turbos, suspension and other wear items. Those old ceramic turbos could let go if boosted, and cost you lots more when you destroy your engine.

running costs are

I agree with that man totally!

Have been saying it ever since I bought my GTR a while ago. Probably the cheapest landed GTR in history. I landed mine for 15,000. I wish someone told me about the ceramic turbos which destroy engines... I found out the hard way only a few months after it landed.

Stock engines are great, just be aware of old turbos I say. You get one with healthy engine, stock or not, if its got new turbos. you'll be sweet.

Interesting thread, I'm actually probably about to now purchase a Series2 GTSt. Is it true these have steal wheels??

The series 2 R33s seem to be were its at value for money now. Hence me about to sell the S12 and jump in one.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
