.... If you need 2L AWD then go R32 GTS-4 baby but seriously...

One of the guys down here ran one - and its not a bad thing. Building one from the ground up would be better again as he bought his as a going concern.

The boys over here dont seem to be hearing the "Its been done..." M8

TT

Is that the one dressed up in Gibson-esque colours? It was a nice thing when I was looking at it. But when you see EVO6s for 8k as race only imports...from a performance standpoint the lil GTS-4 does not really stand up :(

But, if you shoot me an email addy Greg, I would be interested to know if there is any competition history for the car I am considering.

Yeah he had a very similar paint job to mine, you can't argue with his times though.... But his tyres were shagged at Targa fest.

You know there is another gtst for sale down here roy?

I only know of the two on my105...

I like the idea of classic as the variety of cars are more interesting and a fun rwd car does not have to worry about the army of awd hypo cars so from time to time there could be a few cars that you can get close to. There is a prepped and caged shell and a cheap registered runner to turn into one car for a decent enough dollar. It will be COOL!

now classic goes to 85, someone with money to needs to buy one of the group b road cars. A SWB Audi Quattro Sport, Lancia Delta S4, or RS200 EVO would go off

86 model though :(

Bodge is prepping up Rob Sherrard's RS200 for next year.

There's talk of 650 plus Hp all within rules.

Ummmmm, fark yes! :D

I'd rather a Subaru Leone than an Escort Cossie though :P Mainly because I could afford to fix all the shit that goes wrong on the Pommie crap.

And yes, my vag is tender.

just throwing this out there for the classic interest ( im not a huge follower of clasic) doesnt some voltswagen win every year?

how about a DR30 with FJ20 turbo?

they have IRS, turbo, cult following.

i know of a good 2 door shell in tassie and also of an original rs 4 door with original fj20.

Timmys had less than 6 months around EVOs and hes oviously been brain washed with all the coding he talks of AYC ABS STI rubbish. someone needs to take him for a ride in a nissan and show him what lifes about.

You could go to town on a DR30 since it's now under the classic rules. You could get a proper rear end designed for it, redesign the front end while keeping the struts. You have to use a turbo from the same eara as the car, so you could run a trust truck turbo. Stroke it to 2.2. Carbon fibre panels. They have a modern style ecu, so you could put a good computer in it.

Wouldn't make a bad jigger

A DR30, particular one of the ones with the big factory turbo would be a bit of a weapon, the man to talk to about DR30's on here is Discopotato.. he knows things, talked me out of wanting to build one LOL.

Well there goes that, was pretty obvious really. I have spent a good two weeks finding two cars to buy, one with a fully prepped shell and cage...and a DR30 is what I am looking at. May head up this weekend to look at the caged shell. 2.2L with a 5 speed dog box and with a friend who has a Gibson R31 and the pipeline of support on how to make a DR30 go :) Old school rwd goodness may be a Goer. ... :) Big thing is if the numbers add up need to consider what I could get if I sold it, as for me a lot of the fun woudl be building it...not sure if i can handle the logisitics and expense of tarmac rallies...so moving the car for not much of a loss if the sport is not for me is another consideration ?!?!?

The other thing i was looking at was a Nismo 270R as i can get a good running aus delivered car for a song to be used as the base. But S14 isnt as interesting as a DR30 :)

Well that makes two of us as I would kill for one of these Pommie Pieces of CRAP!

[pics above]

Sheesh, no love for the Royal Wedding or white trash Bristol Spec performance cars :(

A partner in the Rally Safe ting with YT has one as does his M8... one a repsol copy, the other Ford factory colours - look very ipressive...

Yeah a Z-Tune works for Outright Snowy.

Ok now we are talking :)

That could be some fun with an extra 100kw's or so. Then the car will also be in Pikes Peak spec as well.

Might have to go have a chat with the boss today and work out some numbers.

    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
