where would you like me to start?

at your age?

at your current car?

at your current license?

at the amount of money an R34 gtr costs?

at the amount of money it costs to build a 1000hp or kw rb26?

let's be nice and realistic for a second.

answer these questions.

what do you do for work?

how long have you been doing it?

do you live with parents?

what is your mum doing tonight?

how much power does your current car have?

have you been in ANY gtr's yet?

have you DRIVEN any GTR's yet?

do you know what 200, 300, 400, 500kw's feels like?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to own a GTR. Being able to and keep it running is the tough bit.

Don't be surprised if people take the p..s when you go from 1000hp/kw (whatever) to won't change the exhaust for 12-18 months.

Man on that schedule we'll be out of fossil fuels by the time you get ready the uber rebuild.

ok...i've got my eyes on a GTR for 56 from japan...and i understand i'm looking at ridiculous amounts of money for 800kw (1000hp) but it'll be an extremely extended project. years..i love the R34 GTR and i am planning on keeping the vehicle for a highly extended period of time.

as for your questions:

I work for Subaru head office in the customer relations dept, i've been here for 6 months. i dnt live with my parents..i live with my fiance who lives with her parents...current car..hasn't been dynoed but is running 11psi boost....i have been in an r34 gtr, and have driven a 32 gtr and a 33 gtr...and they were both faily stock...and even when i started doing the mods to it, it'd be gradual so i'd make sure i could handle the amount of power i had...and going back to the cost issues..i've got 25k saved..and have access to finance too and i can afford the repayments because i've already discussed it with my bank

yeah everyone here is acting like its not possible for me to own a GTR. yeah...thinking about it now 1000hp is probably a little inaccessable....i'll be happy just having the car

I'm sorry but you fail.

You have stated you are living with your fiance at her parents house.

fiance turns in to wife (about same time sex turns to occasionally)

fiance turning in to wife means wedding.

20 years old, $25K saved, working in current job for 6mths means that after wedding you will be left with nothing.

You'll be creating threads about petrol prices in no time and asking what people get ou tof their RB20's per tank of fuel.

Look mate I may sound like an arsehole (which is usual) but you really haven't experienced "life" as yet.

sure you can pay the loan back to the bank at your current wage and situation.

where you gonna live when you get married?

you'll be renting.

rent = about 300-400 per week.

most people also require food. - $100 - 200 per week.

when you rent, you'll find that at night times, you'll want tto turn lights on. and possibly the stove for cooking of food.

month later electricity bill comes.

you'll want to ring mum and dad for comfort about the cost of living = house phone bill

you'll want to be contactable when your out = mobile phone bill.

you'll want access to the intraweb to argue with realistic idiots like me = ADSL bill (possibly dial up by this stage)

How about some furniture to sit on and sleep on in your new unit? = Fantastic furniture bill

perhaps a fridge and other applicances to store and cook the food = Good Guys bill

how do your "EASY" car loan repayments looking now?

I sound like an old man and compared to you I guess I am.

but it's the truth.

it costs money to own these cars.

it costs alot more to maintain them.

it costs even more than that to modify them.

it costs even morer than the more before this more to make double the stock power.

you want 5 times the stock power.

Welcome to reality.

Dude, here's some serious advice for free

If you have a fiancee, I take it you'll be getting married soon(ish).

Are you planning on living with her mummy and daddy for ever? If not, start to factor mortgage repayments on top of the repayments for your GTR loan. Add on top of that food, travel, electricity, water, gas phone, internet bills to start.

No doubt, being newly weds, you'll be going at it like rabbits. I'm pretty sure, you'll soon be saying, "don't worry hun, we're married, we don't need protection", right? Well, then start factoring in new baby costs into your equation.

Now, do you really think you can afford and R34 GTR?

from what I've read, you havent exactly won the lotto, and unless you some kind prodical genius, I'm pretty sure Subaru arne't paying you $150000 pa.

This is why people take the pi$$. Nothing you have stated on here credibly says you will buy and R34 GTR let alone get 1000hp out of it within the next 400yrs.

But - hey I could be wrong

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
