ok where should i start on this one;

ok i got it my vette is a 1988 model which can hold over 500rwhp on it rear (dana 44), people in the states have got up to 650 if im not wrong. now lets see the skyline we are talking about is a r_33 which is mid to late 90's and can hold around 500hp also how is that stronger than my vette? or other american cars?

I would like to see this guy race me in feb next yr (04), some how i dont think his 400 or 500hp skyline will come close my 500rwhp vette.

:) learn about car and then can i reply to this. if a rear-end in a 80's america car is as good or better than rear-end in a 90's skyline how then is the american car the pos? hmmm

after that who cars, its still an american piece of junk with shit quality controlled parts! :D

Latest HPI magazine tested the new C5 vette vs a R33 GTR and even tho the $95,000 C5 beat the $45,000 R33 by around 0.3 secs in a straight line when the corners came around say by by to the C5 in the rear vision mirror. And the ending statement was quite accurate it read something like this, 'While the GTR has been designed by engineers the Vette seems to have had more input into its design by the marketing department than any engineer, it looks the goods but cant delivery them'!!

Now back on topic.

Soulja, gearbox? Shift kit? What have they got to do with anything? I will give you the benefit of the doubt re: the brakes and assume you are talking about pads only. But you forgot to mention tyres.

Lepperfish, you shouldn't have to upgrade your fuel system until you get over 220rwkw or so. So if you get a 500hp turbo and can't afford the fuel system upgrade, just run it on lower boost until you can. EBC does wonders in this regard.

Umm it really cost him SFA cause he made it from efi hose...Just t'd off the hose for ever injector etc etc, cost him SFA in the end...maybe $60 for the whole rail including fittings, and he used the stock FPR so thats not an issue..... Twas easy as to fit and works well!!

Soulja im afraid to say that i have never heard of anyone blowing up diffs in skylines..They might loose they LSD effect but i've never seen anyone blow one up..or 1/2 shafts for that matter either...Or gearbox's.... They are strong buggers, well over engineered :D

Yeah im wanting to do the upgrade in one hit, so I can see maximum results, what do you think if this turbo ? New 2835 pro s with t 3 flange, will give 300rwkw at around 1.3 bar and costs $3100 new... How much boost on the standard rb25 engine ?

Ask GCG for their best price on a brand new Garrett GT40R with .82 AR rear and fit a external wastegate. Ask Brett there about his GT40R .82 with internal wastegate that will bolt straight in. He said they are coming in in around 2 weeks. Then email me your price and I'll see if I can beat that for you.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
