You guys realise he already has the engine, so there's no point trying to push your opinions on different engines.

you wanna do this as a fun project, and somethig different go for it! But keep the carby i recon... :down:

Thats right wana see how it would go i havent heard of anyone with the old school 302 in a 32 yet so should be fun. Yeah im thinking of keeping the carb at the momment and as for the 25 in it mentioned later thats been done before and the custom work wont matter as me and the old man have done custom before. also i already have the 20 and the 26 so time for a different spin on the nissan

I was thinkin of doing that with one of the new "aluminators" aluminum block 4.6L ford and twin turboing it. Imiagine what it would be like when you punch it at 3000rpm and before it gets to 4000rpm your torque jumps to arround 800 and stays within 50ftlbs of that through the revswith over 1000hp. An R32 to me sorta looks like a 88-93 Mustang but was way nicer and wont twist the car with the stock engine. You just gotta keep in mind that the 5L engine is only good for up to 450hp in good condition but the 4.6 can be pushed to arround 800-1000 absolutely bone stock with the fuel and spark and air to produce that so if you want a high performance machine find a 4.6 out of a 96' + (has to be over 96' or dont bother) and then throw in some 3 or 4 valve a cylinder heads and you'll be ready to suprise a few people.

Though if your not going for high hp then a carburated high compression 302 with a rhoudy cam would be really bad ass to hear that carburated rough idleing v8 under the hood. Hell i was thinkgin of doing the opposit some day and matting a r34GTR tranny/transfercase into a 96-03 mustang make it all wheel drive and twin turbo or Kenne Belle (Kenne Bell or nothin) supercharge it so i'd have pretty much the best of both worlds on street tires.

Hey mate,

I was thinking of using a late model engine either AU xr8 or the BA xr8 engine but as ive already got the 302 floating around mite as well use it i found a supercharger kit for a carby 302 i was only aiming for the 500hp mark outa the old girl wouldnt need much more in a striped out gts as a drift pig.

Would be different hearing the roar of a v8 in the good old 32

Like most engines the modular 4.6 needs a large wad of cash,work and bits thrown at it to make 1000hp. Bone stock isn't a term I'd be using to describe anything but a hand grenade at 1,000hp. If the thing hung together for longer than a week then I expect the main web and bulkheads are going to be cracked quite nicely in due time. Those factory blocks aren't what I'd be starting with for lots of power.

There is no magic brand or type of block that makes 1,000hp cheaply in a small cubic capacity. Thats the rule. The blocks best suited to it are race blocks, usually billet if we are talking 1,000+ hp.

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
