R34 25gt Performance Mods - Trying To Keep It Legal

[Viper_5345]

and im now debating on the fact to buy a skyline r32 N/A for around $10,000-$12,000 or buy a rx7 13b for $7000 which has 150rwkw

[Cubes]

so your saying to do what i said but forget the ECU, NOS and throttel?

No

Forget the loud exhaust. N/A's sound raspy with big open exhausts. Turbo exhaust will be fine. most importantly throw on adj. cam gears and get the ecu tuned........ as i said in my previous post.

Regarding the RX7.... Can you afford to crack the motor and have the seals replaced at a later date? Few mates owned rotors during my late teens. All did seals and all spent $$ building them up. Don't forget the poor fuel consumption. If that doesn't bother you then hell grab it.. Especially if its a 13bt dropped in to a S3 RX7, nice and light.

Good fun little cars.

ye, cool hmmm....

[SKiT_R31]

true that n/a's sounds raspy with normal mufflers, but throw in a bit resonator and they deepen right up.

Extractors > offset mufler > resonator = Deep throbbing throaghty exaust, sounds tough

some possible improvements may be an RB26 head with hex throttle bodies, and instead of forged pistons look into those hypereutic ones...

Yeah i was thinking about an RB26 head, but i think the extra money that would cost, would be best spent elsewhere/maybe doing up the RB25 a bit more, whats the flow differences?

Its hard building a motor, as you've gotta find a happy medium between power, drivability, economy, power and cost....

i was thinking about a Q45 90mm afm & Throttlebody... have you got any info/links on the "hypereuric" pistions...?

[Eug]

haha yeah, an RB26 head is not something you find lying around... unfortunately...

agree, the happy medium is the killer - but at the same time you're just dying to have the best parts to do it. especially with an NA, where your trying to extract every last kilowatt. unlike a turbo where if you lose some power here and there, its just a matter of adding more boost to make up for it.

in regards to hypereutectic pistons, i dont know anyone thats had experience with them - but from what i've read and heard about, they are like a happy medium between stock and forgies, they are an aluminum silicon combo, and seemed to be raved about for NA motors...

edit: found a wiki link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypereutectic_piston

actually you can pretty much google it.

[NA power]

bang for buck wise that may be true, but a few of the people here myself included are simply trying to build a well balanced driveable car that handles well, and has slightly more power than standard whilst maintaining reliability and keeping maintenance costs down.

you are never going to make big power or fast 1/4 mile times with an NA (in reference to a GTST), nor are you going to make big power with a GTST (in reference to lets say a GTR), nor a GTR (lets exaggerate and say a Zonda).

and while your points may be valid and true, NA cars are the base people choose have and want to work with. what i'm saying is that i'm sure most people here know about the futility of making big HP with NA cars and dont need someone telling them otherwise... and that is as a polite f**k off as you'll ever get.

also keep in mind that some of the faster cars around a track are NA, so while the fat chick cant do ballet, i'm sure she can try and do just as well.

p.s - i do not condone fat chicks.

with ya on that one mate

Hey I wiped off the rear of my 99 R34 GT-T and I'm selling the parts so if anyone on here is interested (the whole front end is fine) in buying my neo engine, gearbox, blitz front mount, nismo cluster, brakes, anything front end related drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and let me know what ur after n we can werk somethin out.

Oh also i got my plates if anyone wants them NSMO-34 black slimline.

Thanks!

[GTR Power]

how much would u be looking at for the neo engine and box?

Was that Turbo or N/A

he says GTT buddy, it'll be an RB25DET

[NSMO-34]

Hey guys already sold everything!! Thanx for viewing anyways. Oh and yes it was turbo durr lol

Thanx

just out of interest, if you dont mind saying, did you sell the engine for champ? just for future reference

[NSMO-34]

Sold the entire running gear (engine, ecu, loom, gearbox, n clutch) for $3,500. I threw in my front mount, brakes, gauges, cluster (Nismo cluster fckn siiiick) for another $1,000. So pretty much the whole car for $4,500....pretty sad actually when I paid $30,000 for it :_(
