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.

Melv,

its andrew here man when are you going to come up and see me at work? u know i can hook you up with a gtr !!!! and parts wise mates rates ;) cya soon bro!

BTW we got our dyno this week so next sat we are having a dyno day so you will have to come up and run the commie!

    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day  
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
    • Are you 100% sure this isn't tune related?
    • 140-150 across the board. At this point hoping the grounding harness fixes it. My grounds are all tied to the chassis and none to the battery. For SR and KA that’s never been a problem for me but had a few other guys here and Reddit who told me RB really like a very solid ground setup tied to the battery so going to try that next, I’m stumped if that doesn’t do it. Never had a car have spark and fuel and not fire off before. Only thing I can think is the spark is intermittent/weak because of grounds nothing else really makes sense at this point 
    • I am having close to the same issue. Can you help me with what wire you grounded to get your pump to trigger?
