So like, I'm sick of fixing this thing... Broken cam shaft, cam shaft barings need replacing, a million other things. So Ive diceded to take it to hardcore (cause of some of the hot cars Ive seen drive outa there) and get it fixed, and modified.

I have a limit of 10 big ones (not 10 dolars) and I was going to get them to do,

Brakes,

fix car,

turbo,

clutch (I spun it)

and gear box needs 2nd to be rebuilt.

Do you think 10g's will cover that, and possibly some? I dont wanna walk in there and sound like a moron asking for this shit and being told its gonna cost my first born, and possible my left nut.

err - If you're going to turbo, I think it'd probably be cheaper to engine swap to an rb20det...

and if you are going to do that, take the rb25 route... hell yeah.

and to indluge my little fantasy... drop in a Nissan V8. just save enough for the g/b and brakes... if you beef up to GO, beef up the STOP...

plus r32 gtr 5 stud brake conversion and then ur set (4 pot front 2 pot rear, much bigger discs than the silvia - much bigger)

s13 can take the r32 gtr brakes - then with some guard rolling and some offset spacers u can take just about any rim that will fit a skyline

yep, definately bin your old NA 20 and go for a 25DET. try and get 25DET gearbox too but if you cant get your 20 box rebuilt. you should be able to do everything you need within your $10K budget.

So like, apparently Hardcore is no longer. I went to a place called TTR and they wanted 10g's to do;

Half cut, (4,000)

brakes R32 GTS, plus diff (2,500)

intercooler and piping (1,000)

and a 3inch exhaust.

I dont think its worth it. Does anyone know a good place to take my baby to, to get this stuff done? somewhere you've been to before and loved the results?

Yerp you heard correctly.. Hardcore was officially non exhistant as of 15th of september i think. That company went to the shit when peter and bruce sold it anyway. Im not to sure about where you can pick up an engine (check on here?) but I think peter who used to be part owners of hardcore may do the work for you. And he will most probly be able to sus out an engine for you. He has his own business now called pro torque performance its still in slacks creek. Give him a ring on 0438 876 649 and just tell him your situation.

I dont think its worth it.

i seem to agree as would anyone else on here...

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
