First of all, that car makes serious power, so what did you expect it to cost $5?

What bad things did they say about a GTR?

Second the stock GTR gearbox is a sensational piece of automotive equipment. You try to put 3 times the manufactures power through a WRX gear box and see how long it lasts.

Same goes for a clutch, but you can source strong ones at sensational prices.

BUT what times do you want to run?

Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go?

If you are going to get a GTR that does 10's, get an R32. Japan has plenty for import if you have the cash. For example here's one that would easily run 10's (and probably 9's if setup right) and it's only $35k~

This one was already sold, but theres that many high hp R32 GTR's floating around the Japanese auctions you would be stupid not to consider them :)

Oh and that price is very damn valuable I might add. Trust 6 speed gearbox's are like $AU10k+ alone, you'll pay about the same for the T-88 turbo kit, and that doesn't include the bodykit, internal engine mods (it would have to have a built bottom end to reach 800hp/ps), wheels, roll cage, guages, suspension, carbon fibre bonnet and so on.

That sort of value is indicitive of the general value in buying from japan.

If I had ~$35k that car would have been mine....

Oh and if you have LOTS of money, try this one -

building a 11 sec gtr is not that expensive, but 10 sec is.

the maintance of a 10 sec car is scary.

btw,11 sec is more than enough and will be a big different again with yr commie.

low to mid 11 sec - 2 x GT2530 tubro, intercooler, cams + cams gear, gasket, full exhaust system, injectors, fuel pump, Power Fc, clutch (somewhere around $20000-25000 )

not that much as i guess u have to spend similar or more to bring yr LS1 to 12.2 sec

The following vehicle has just come into stock with a supplier in Japan for 3,520,000 yen FOB. The cost in Australia is estimated to be $60,300.

We have included the cost of shipping, import duties, GST, and our service fee in this estimate. Not included is the cost of compliance (about $4,000), tyres, Govt. stamp duty and registration (normal licensing costs for any vehicle).

The additional cost required to remove all modified parts for compliance is not included. :)

need to remove EVERTHING in the car and put them in again after compliance! the labour i guess would be another 10000 or so:shake:

Finally some people that know what their talking about.

Recepie for 11sec.

2x Air Filters

2x HKS 2530 Turbos

6x 550+cc injectors

Apexi Power Fc

z32 AFM

Cam Gears

Twin Plate Clutch (dont stuff around with a single button)

Intercooler

FULL Exhaust (Dumps-Tip)

A new bosch motorsport in tank fuel pump

Good tyres

Up graded Brake Pads (Going faster means you have to stop faster too)

Competent Tuner with accurate dyno

Maybe Suspension if there is money left over

What you Dont need:

Different cams. Not worth getting step 1 size because money could be better spent else where and Step 2+ need to modify the head, again spend money else where

Head Gasket, providing you follow the Competent tuner advice and keep boost levels about 1.5bar which is right at about the efficiency of the HKS 2530's

Bigger turbos

Forged Engine Internals

Forged Gear Set

Providing you dont mind going second hand parts you could probably get away with spending $10-13k including tuning and labour.

Hey if you've got $60k for a car you can probably call in another $10k for something like that, especially a 1000hp skyline! :D

It's fargin scary let me tell ya.

I finished a detuned setup today (timing backed off and the fuel on the rich side). The thing spins the wheels all through 2nd from 2500rpm till 100kmh, smokes the tyres all the way and gives more of the same in 3rd.

I'm thinking of doing a smaller jetting for tyre ecconomics, 205's are not up to the task :O

well its looks like its going to cost a fair wack of money to get a 33 into a 10.

What about if i do some simple mods like, cooler , up the boost , exhaust , twin air filters and cams, button clutch. will the be a good solid combo ?

this combination and the right tuner should do 11s,but forget the cams,cam gears are all u need,with a competant tuner u should get 240-250kw which is good enough for high 11s.u wont even need the cooler.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
