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.

    • The title should have posted "EFR7670 exhaust housing selection RB26" I can seem to edit thr title on my Android.
    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
