I think an NA S13 with SR20 or a GTS R32 with RB20 or RB25DE. Both motors give you reasonable performance, cafs are cheap and unloved because NA...and both can be developed as you develop and get experience.

Reason wht i woudl stay away from old non EFI cars is that they just woudl not have the reliability that a late model NA car has and parts are not as easy to comy by.

R31 skyline wht.

its RWD, can get manual 3.0L six cyl

and for only $5000 dollors it will be track ready.

i.e $3000 on suspetion - springs, shocks, adj camber caster hat, stru brace, nolerthan bushes, sway bars. (this inc fiitting)

and for $2000 r33gtst front brakes and sloted disc rear.

and you still may have some change left over.

also thier cheep to buy and parts are a plenty and also p plate legal

      thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
