its around 20k from a stock car to 400rwkw RB25 that wont die on ya :)

and thats sounds a bit cheap just for the engine...not including all the other bits to need to be able to drive the damn thing.

Suspesnion, wheels, tyres. this will amount (in my case) to another 6-7k.

So far using the std bottom end, Like Als I'm pumping out the ~280rwkw mark. Thats new everything and would have cost about 15k I reckon for the engine upgrades (turbo/zorst/air & fuel bits etc). I was waiting until it threw a rod or somthing for the engine rebuild....can't wait..hehe

Ye, im not talking about anything other than the engine bay, and whatever else is attached to the motor...

Nothing like the 10k in brakes/suspension thats additional :)

But IMO - 400rwkw, RB26 will workout easier

spend the 8 grand on a 2jz conversion and push 400rwkw on a stock motor with an ECU, fuel system and t51R.

TOYOTA FTW

(im a freakin hypocrate)

Agreed that the 2jz is an awesome motor: but what a pain in the ass conversion!!! The effort far out-weigh the benefits, I would rather go 26/30 :)

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
