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? :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
