Just had a thought,

GTR fenders, whatever bonnet. grill, bar and rims you wanted. Added cost of spraying and fitting = ~$7-8000. Maybe more, I'm no expert on costs.

Sell your GTSt + at least $8000 = GTR. Its win win, plus you get an RB26, 2 turbos, 4WD, 4WS, GTR seats and a GTR badge :(:P

One question champ.... Why? He's building a drag car - what you've suggested would make total and complete sense were it to be a road car but it isn't. GTR's are VERY heavy, harder and more expensive to make quick for drag racing and a waste of money for this application. Did I mention how heavy they are?

BezerkR32 already has the RB26 but it's not going on an RB26 block, doesn't wan't 4WD for the reasons stated above and 4WS? Not many corners on a drag strip :O

GTR badges are important though!

Adrian

little bit late know, guards werent as expensive as you think, and not really keen on two turbos, Gtr are the most fun on the street but its not really what i need for the track. besides, just stuck this in. also trying to keep car around 2500 pounds (1130kg) big ask in a gtr or 33 whale.

Not everyone wants an overweight 1500+kg car, or a small 2.6lt motor :P

I'm the f**king juggernaut, bitch! :(

As djr says, why not buy aftermarket cosmetics? Carbon fibre is lighter and stronger than aluminium ya know.

Hey 28" rims, nice :P

I find aftermarket cosmetics do not offer the quality factory parts do, alos there is hardly a wide range of parts for r32s. Unless you want the some cheap fiberglass kit with a poor finish.

Also carbon fiber is dick all lighter and harldy legal anyways.

It's nicer to have Jedi powers.

Bye bye, Michael.

r u jedi or sith?

jedi use their powers for Good purposes, not evil ! :sorcerer:

Bezerkr,

go the GTR guards - get the rear end pumped out. fit big grippy tyres, run 9s

have fun doing so too.

btw: Dont test out that roll cage, ok? Might look silly on a 400m straight strecth of road, lol !

Sounds good, can you get me one for under $400?

How about the front bar from the gts4? I dont know if they all have one, mine does and it has a large front opening, looks good, is factory and not a gtr...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
