hmm - no major immediate plans for mine.

*Suspension ~ one day > happy with handling, it just sits too high

*FMIC ~ one day > stock one flows well enough for stock turbo anyway.

*Possibly upgrade clutch, like a twin plate or something, [would also lighten flywheel at same time].

*Couple of other 'little' things I will do very soon but they secret :)

ey andy, Ill stand there by the car if ya need me. I got a GREAT baseball bat ive been meaning to test out

hahahaa

but seriously, if theres any trouble, holla at me and youll hear me running from the other side of the building. (For ppl who havent actually met me, im kinda big:D:D:D:D)

Horus - HKS 2530's, spool up quick (approx. 3500rpm) and good for 1.4 bar. With other mods (powerfc, full exhaust, filters, adj. cam gears, ebc, injectors and fuel pump) should be good for around 310-330 rwkws.

Also providing you have a decent twin plate clutch to hold the power!!!

If I get a 180 or R32 probably will just go straight for the HKS 2530 or 2540 .. 2530 on an SR20DET sounds pretty fun.. that was the turbo i was going to chuck on my R33, but nah, cbf now -- too much money..

mmm... Funkey... you can take it off my hands.

but it wont come el cheapo.

only becasue it's got the t04e... extractors... ecu/loom..

All of which aren't cheap (extractors are 1-of-800 made)... but in the package you'll save.

remember it's making approx 190rwkw on the lowly 9psi :D

wat do you think it's worth? considering 250rwkw will be had with JUST BOOST. and nothing else :P

Future Mods: Weight reduction on the buggy and a 13B Turbo Conversion.....

Goal - 1:1 Power to weight (HP/KG)

Then we'll see who's quick jet!!!

Did a calculation and I reckon with 400HP, 400KG, a perfect launch, and traction = 8.1 @ 176 MPH!!!!!

SOme people think i'm a little cwazy?? I got no idea why??

Doc.

got my new project cars :D

should turn a few heads fitting an sr 20 to this just to be different and to make a wicked track weapon.

jet congrats on the car If I had the cash lying around I would have grabbed daves car in a heart beat. just learn to respeckt it as it bites :)

this is it b4 it dissapears into the work shop

nah mate not drugs common sense this is a very good and very popular swap

some reasons for the swap

1 no need for a custom plenum.

2 power fc bolts straight in

3 there are heaps of parts for them.

4. it makes the weight distribution 50/50.

5 there are no high profile ones and i like to be different.

6 I found some one who is willing to do the conversion for a reasonable fee.

7 the motors are more torquey.

8 the gearbox just had 2k spent on it in a full rebuild

9 the motor only has 80 000 genuine klms10 when I need to upgrade things like pistons and injectors I will only require 4 not six

and development on the rb20 is finished in japan

    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
