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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
