Old R32 GTR has gone and in the resulting down grade to a point 'a' to point 'b' car I now drive this......

Datsun 1200 ute!

with bits...

Built A14 with upgraded cam / pistons etc.

Garret t25 turbo

Silvia intercooler.

EMS Stinger ECU, multi coil setup.

3inch turbo back exhaust

bigger brakes and front struts etc..

goes reasonably, no gtr but, handles like a kart'.

The best part is watching me try an get into it or out of it :D

Give us a wave if you see me around and spare a thought for someone who has taken a step down in the world of performance cars :P

they aren't real cheap unfortunately. This ones a tad rough and I've got a fair tidy up on my hands.

For something like my bunky you can expect to pay around $5k (rust, needs a gerneral tidy up etc..) , I got mine cheaper so it was a bargain. Mind you I have to tune the ecu up and other things to make it right.

i paid $1500 for my ute 3 yrs ago , 2nd owner 85 model .. was offered 4k for it 8 months ago as it has no rust

I also have all new panels for mine when i decide to paint it up , lsd disc rear end n upgraded front brakes , 300mm rotors

rev to 10k? Hmmm...

I think the racing 1200 coupes motors got pretty close in their day.

This ones probably able to go to 8,500rpm or so regularly but, the engine setup is designed to make peak power a tad lower.

Dsturbd,

What sort of struts are you bolting those to?

At least your diff isn't going to die anytime soon. I have two spare diffs and one spare 4 speed in expectation of the carnage.

I got a 1600 and I don't know what brakes are on it. I got disc rears and up front theres a girlock single-pot caliper. So I'm guessing 200B front brakes? I think they're mounted to 240K struts. Need to find out what brakes because they need replacing. I can barely stop the car! and it steers itself under braking.

    • Thanks mate, couldn't find in VIC, ended up ordering one from NSW, getting rwc to get new plates and registration done.
    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home
