a stock rb25 will handle about 350-380hp safely, any more and you will start to lose a ringland or two. :)

depends how you drive it too..

i know of one in WA making ~400rwhp, but its not driven very hard, its barely driven at all.

whereas ive seen other rb25's let go at 330rwhp..

hell, mine died at 300hp, but thats another story..

well, right now horribly

when im done and dial in the spring rates to help with body roll in addition to the correct rear sway bar when someone figures out what car to use it from since its obviously not a GTR rear sway (200 dollar lesson)

i think it will handle well once i get everything done.

perhaps import a Whiteline rear swaybar from Sydneykid or Whiteline direct?

very very high quality piece of kit

Im using the whiteline front and rear adjuystable swaybars, whiteline bushes and pineapple rings, Bilstein shocks with height-lowering circlips with standard stagea springs.

very comfy and very very grippy. great suspn package and can be lowered by a fair bit. mine sits a tad high but thats my choice (2metres tall) due to picky police etc.

im going to see what i can do about whiteline from the US and have it shipped here. shouldnt be too much

But as an update

trying to research which rear toe rods are the same. If i had a copy of FAST i could do it myself.

I ordered 8000k dual beam HIDs shoudl be here next week

Bought some puddle lights

bought two 12s and an amp for a temporary setup until i fiberglass my setup and order my real equipment

got an alignmet today, its horribley still toe out in the rear, but since its been adjusted camber wise and as much toe as possible, i have almost 2 inches of clearance between shock and wheel. no more rubbing issues i see, but i ned to roll the rear fenders a tad more.

the kit never got ordered by my "friend" so im debating if i want to order it through someone else, or buy more go fast and handle fast parts.

i have yet to decide

OK

ordered DMAX s14 rear toe arms

THe prosport gauges came in today

the K LIGHT 8000K HIDS came in as well

im still waiting on an AEM UEGO

FPR

coilpack

and a dash pod

your HIDs are wayyy to blue. your going to get a ticket as soon as an off base cop sees them.

  • 2 weeks later...

OK

biggg update

bougth a manual swap

Got my greddy oil, flywheel bolts, and pilot bushing in

tranny will be here tomorrow

Garson, headrest pillows, mirror, trim accents, and soem other stuff.

bought NEW Work Emotion XD9 18x9 +20 all around

AEM Uego came in

Prosport gauges came in

FPR came in

HKS twin plate is here

lol

not cheap..... and you'll be parting with it soon enough ?

sad :happy:

what did you do with those 3 spoke wheels? man they look HORN

(Keep the dish, have as much of it as you want, not my style whatsoever, but BEJEEEBUS I love those 3 spoke rims!!)

i sodl em to a friend for 400 US.

im not sellign it anymore, now that i found this stupid 5 speed.

"stupid"...hmmmm

...i take it the manual install is not all wedding cake and honeymoon ??? :happy:

Edited by captinsane

OK

you can drift an automatic Stagea with the front shaft taken out

its crappy becuase its like an open diff or something, but it happens

I make an entire o2 housing back exhaust

i need to redo the part that goes under the subframe becuase i ran out of time and used a prebent section from an R32 exhaust...so ill do that next week or something

im still waiting on my tranny to get here

its boredome

im waiting ot get my new turbo in

once that happens i can order all my pipe for intercooler pipes and exhaust

i want to order it all at once to save on shipping

i found a place for 5.00 a foot for mild steel pipes

will be using a flowmaster muffler with two lone tips out the back

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
