It's a custom job with the appropriate yokes at each end. Are you really using a 6.2L LS3?

Yes, I was thinking about LS2, but the LS3 was only $1000 more, and between 500 and 550 HP. The wheigths are the same, and transmission are the same.

Im hoping the car would be ready for next season of drifting...

Im from Norway. I found a company from the US that sells the LS3 500-550bhp and Tremec T56 transmission, wiring and computer and all, for $10.700

In norway, thats a lot for that money.

That seems more than reasonable for a new engine and box! Provided you could get it over to Norway cheap enough it sounds like a bloody good deal.

Far out. $11000 is a lot of money, but when you sit back and actually look at what you get for your dollar its well worth it. If you were to compare it to an RB25, you would pay $4500 for a manual front cut, and then have to spend $15000 to make between 400 & 500hp.(Thats if you payed someone to do it) It is the sensible choice. In my case i didnt spend any where near $11000, but my engine is a 5.7 and i have spent $5000 on it to make 450hp. But any way you look at it, dollar wise it seams a good choice. Now it just has to perform. Its no good it being cheaper if it goes like a 253ci red motor. Rather the RB any day. Time will tell. at least it will sound tough, nobody can ever take that away. There is no arguing that the turbo motors make excellent power, but at what cost. maybe 2rismo could give us some idea how much it costs to have your RB25 make 500hp. Or maybe he shouldnt say infront of his wife....... sorry mate

the radiator is a PWR unit to suit r32 gtr, i just had them modify the outlet size to suit the ls1.

i also had them discard their fan bracket as i prefer to fabricate a full shroud.

Looking great!

What is the size of the radiator you are using?

I just started on my project, so I'm gathering some information...

      Starting again

      Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Duncan · Posted

      Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
