why has everyone gone for twins on a 'cheap' drag setup ?

go for a big single (garrett off the shelf). injectors, map sensor PFC, clutch, exhaust and ALOT of nos. i rekon you MIGHT just scrape in under 5K, with some second hand parts :)

Is that before or after you include the manifold you need, then custom dump/front pipe, custom piping/hosing oil/water lines etc etc etc etc etc.

Big squirt of gas. An ECU. open pipes and a cheap RB26 manifold with an XR6 turbo with some cheap injectors. If you can weld up the pipes yourself and get soem cheap 2nd hand slicks...then strip the hell uopt of it....maybe. But why woudl you bother when for 5k you could have a nice daily driver that runs flat 12s to high 11s ?

I will say it can't be done...just because if i say that some bugger will try to do it.

ill be the 1st to shake the hand of somebody who can acomplish this feat.

after a few broken engines and gearboxes they will agree with me...it can't be done.

It really not even worth trying. Even if you did everything yourself, even if you got all the parts you need under 5k, you'll be very lucky to get it off the line let alone make it down the quarter. Better to put in 10-15k if you can afford it and do it right rather than waste 5k doing it wrong.

Well said.

If this goes ahead, its likely the car will be f**ked in the process and the cost of then repairing it and doing the nessesary work to bring the thing back up to scratch will be huge.

Try and cut corners putting together a GTR and it WILL bite you in the ass, mark my words

It's one thing to talk about doing this to an XR6T which I presume is what is being discussed somewhere else and someone has said it can be easily done to a GTR. But there's one difference I think were all forgetting, A GTR is actually a good/rare car and ontop of that they aren't produced anymore, anyone who even thinks about butchering one just to prove a point is retarded. I'm happy for you to try it with an XR6T cos their becoming more popular than vl's and their still rolling of the production line, hell you could probably get most of the required parts at my local supermarket......

it will not

it will fail

TO4GTR has run an 11.2@121mph still using his original 210,000km+ engine with around 310rwkw. And he doesn't baby it at all :) Must be a freak engine.

I pesonally don't think it can be done for under 5k. Under 10k is very possible though.

I love all the expert replies from so many people that have ran 10's, according to my cousin all his mates cars run tens its easy

hahaha fools run the times consistantly then tell us how easy it is

consistancy aye buster, that why you've got an auto? :)

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
