Just thought of something else regarding insurance: Since you're young, get your MUM or DAD to insure the car under his name, with you listed as a secondary (/occasional) driver. Should come out cheaper. Works with NRMA, should work with other places.

Also you dont need rods mate.

I ran 370rwkw with $150 GTR Rods. 2k for rods in motor thats gonna see 300rwkw is a grave waste of money :)

Dont have time for a massive reply at present, might later when i get home with more details on things

Sl33py - don't give out legal advice dude..

Well, it was good enough for NRMA to pay up. They take the youngest driver into account when quoting, it would be a little more than if it was just the older person. Noone should make legal decisions based on what a bunch of car enthusiasts in a forum say :) Besides, NRMA won't touch him or that car.

Quick question Racebreed, and im not trying to make fun of you. Have you ever been in a skyline with 300rwkw? If not why did you choose this number?

300rwkw in a skyline is a lot of power, and for you to jump from your previous cars to the skyline is going to be a big enough power upgrade. Once you get used to this, add some more power, maybe 200rwkw, once you get used to this and want more, maybe aim for 250rwkw and see how you like it. Don't just randomly pick 300rwkw when you have no idea what it feals like. A sudden mistake in a car with that much power will see you kick out and spin the car, trust me, i've been in plenty of cars with that much power or even more (dads monaro has 370rwkw) and when pushing them to the limit it takes a lot of concentration and skill to not get urself killed.

Your budget is not going to allow you to get all the mods you have listed like many people have said. When you consider everything you will need to make the car with that much power not be a ticking time bomb or the rest of the car not being able to keep up (ie suspension, brakes, diff, clutch).

Just don't rush into anything and get used to your own car before you set out to get a number on a dyno sheet for bragging rights but not being able to actually control the car when your in it.

Just my 2cents worth.

no offence sleepy but that dosnt work, and dont even waste ur time, oldest trick in the book and all insurance companies go by the youngest driver.

as for Racebreed, i came on this forum about 2 years ago askn the same thing. how much is a r34, wat mods do wat, and just talkn up the forums all the time. my cars about a few days away cummin out with a full built motor expectnn close to 380rwkw.

my advice is do the basics 1st.

cooler/bod/exhaust/ect ect. This will give u abount roughly 200rwkw, quite a good amount of punch, if ur not happy with that, THEN go for the big 300.

wheels are your choice i no alot of ppl spending more money on shitter rims.

the BOV is your option but i would highly recommend against it, firstly yes its wank factor but it sounds like shit so not much to wank about. secondly yes its good wen cops come over but they will look at the thing and will be able to see if its a non factory item, if u honestly wanna get a bov get something else like the hks or greddy. nice sounding bovs, but dont mount it in the factory position. mount it on your cooler piping hiding it from the cops. i dont care wat poeple say but its the best option for someone who wants a atmo bov.

300rwkw is a okai ask on stock internals, alot of ppl refuse to give honest opinions like nismoid who goes around typing shit like "how longs a peice of string" like seriously wtf does that mean to someone who dosnt know anything? (not saying that u dont know aything)

honestly buddy u CAN do 300rwkw EASY, as long as u dont hammer the motor, bouncing off the revlimiter every day ect ect.

the rule of thumb is to keep the engine fresh and healthy, and that means not thrasing the motor, regular services and ull have 300rwkw for years to come. do the opposite and u proberly wont even get 300rwkw, and it will die. turbo will not support 300rwkw just FYI.

as for insurence, its either GIO or Justcars dont bother with this shannos and other crap. give just cars a call and get a quote, and go to GIO and ask them the same thing, mention to GIO that u have a just cars quote for 500 less then what they actually gave u, GIO will beat it i garentee u.

im sitting on a rating 5 with 2500 premium and a exess of 1800. im 19 and on my Ps with a no where innocent lookn car.

but u gotta expect high premiums and excess wen ur young and drive a skyline.

if u need any info on anything buddy shoot us a PM ill be happy to help with anything

:D

lol, that goin' under parents name thing has been fine and been paid out on every occasion thus far for my family, thanks. And the quote was always different with 1 older driver VS 1 older and 1 younger, I checked. I'm no SK/whoever, so I only say what I know from experience. Anyway it's irrelevent here, as I don't expect it would work with an import, and this was NRMA. Anyway as GTST said in this case, it's most likely JCI or bust. OK, back to OP's topic.

Well it honestly is, if 2 years here hasn’t taught you that then you have learnt very little in your time here.

See other posts from people like URAS and so on, that have actually DONE the work, SEEN results same as myself.

Not just people who've blindly handed over cash to people.

The string comment stands as the variables are infinite. Soooooo many things to take into account.

You cant sit there and unequivocally say its safe. You don’t know that, I don’t know that .

Its wrong to say that it will do it "easy" when he knows no better as a new user, and its not "easy" at all.

Time and time again i've seen people come along with "i want 300rwkw", 8 outta 10 times the owners NEVER get there because they realise the costs of it all (upwards of 15k). And then the few that do get there either live on perfectly, or end up around a pole.

380rwkw up from a basic stocker?

Dude... i hope you've also learnt to have respect for cars in the last 2 years otherwise you've gonna total be in yet another 'bingle'...

380rwkw demands total respect or it will kill you. Same with 300rwkw, kill you before you know it.

Hell i nearly killed myself with 250rwkw driving home from work one night in a big downpour.

19 IMO is too young, your not level headed enough nor had the experience.

So i do hope you drive safely ALL the time and never succumb to "mates" egging you on because lets face it, 18-22 "shit" happens too easily.

so wat? does it make me inferior to u that i work and go to uni 6 days a week to not actually have the time to hang around a mechs shop taking notes on everything thats happened?

since when did a drivers opinion not count due to the number of hours his spent under the hood?

wats stopping me from saying its unsafe? if i throw u a fresh healthy motor i would have without a doubt ud be able to give me the numbers, yes there are "variables" that may account to it not hittn the numbers but where the hell are u gonna draw the line? wat???? a whales gonna come crashing down from the heavens causing severe damage to my car forcing it to not run?

puh-lease.........the motors expected to make the numbers, UNLESS something unexpected happens.....

fair enough input there, im one to defiently agree that any amount of power in the wrong hands is lethal. but lets leave the consequences to me okai?

although it may not seem like it im not one to plant my foot everytime my mates rev me on.....im just not like that. i am responsible where its needed.....

but ill give u this one, shit does happen to easily, but for my sake i hope ur wrong....

in no disrespect meant buddy but i honestly rkn your Dr.Phil style replies to questions is abit over the top. maybe its because ur a mod and u see more then u should of stupid questions but i rkn this forum needs to lose this arrogant "peice of string" style comments. this is a forum for fellow skyline-ers to share there exp with one another, not negative bs.

so wat? does it make me inferior to u that i work and go to uni 6 days a week to not actually have the time to hang around a mechs shop taking notes on everything thats happened

It does make you inferior in understanding the stuff you would have been taking notes on. How don't you get this?

Personally i'd be pretty nervous telling people their stock RB25 will handle 300 wheel kW easily.

it dosnt mean my opinion dosnt count.

well your a pussy, and i pray satin dosnt eat your children

come on are u guys serious? ur all telln me a stock rb25 will not handle 300kw? maybe the word "easily" is being misunderstood, but basicly what im trying to say is treat the motor well, and ull get wat u want.

theres plenty of ppl pusshin 300+ on stock internals....

heres a good 10 pages worth of proof.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rb...yno-t55845.html

like uras said

ive seen cars make that power for years.... and others last only a few months, there are just too many variables to answer it simply. Tune, oil, kms etc all play a part in longevity.

i dont see any reason why a rb25 will refuse to make 300 if everythign is in good nick

Edited by R34NRG
it dosnt mean my opinion dosnt count.

You're playing with people's money. At 300 wheel kW you have to know what you're doing to keep the engine alive. This guy has written off 2 low powered cars, is not yet off his Ps and wants a RWD car with too much power. He will blow the engine up. And then he will come back whinging that you told him it was 'easy'.

and i pray satin dosnt eat your children

What is this supposed to mean?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • 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).
