alot of SR owners wont be happy with you! SR's are great motors! why wouldnt you spend the money on the SR? in any case, id love to monitor the progress of this project so i can rub it into my SR loving friends....

as for big hp in an RWD car....i think its pointless to be quite honest, unless you have tubs and slicks, no traction is an absolute nuisance!!!

get a GTR. a better platform to modify from PLUS the added traction with ATTESSA.

There is a guy with a R33 GTS-t here in North Carolina, pulling alright numbers with Power FC and mild upgrades. I am in the process of putting a RB25det motor in my s14 from a R33 gts-t. Hope to pull good numbers considering the weight differences between the Skyline and 240sx.

Steve: The reason it is so much to legalize is because there is only one place in the whole country that can legalize the cars. Motorex. So basically, they can charge whatever they want really. Not like i have anywhere else to take it. They have to do the whole VIN number, gauge cluster change, emissions, etc... to make it up to american standards. American standards suck.

Hmm, no good. Just a thought, if you can get GTSts so cheap, what is the cost difference to GTR? and what is the compliance cost difference?

I cannot say too many bad things about the GTSt, apart from the fact I own one. But, I must agree with franks, there are times a bit more traction would be good. Every time you go through a round of mods, you got to think of new ways to get the power down.

Then again, nittos are pretty plentiful over there - they'll get you sorted;) If you know, what is the price of nitto 555 275/40/17s over there. I am currently looking at trying to aquire some and would like to know cost options?

Cheers

Another thought, buy a GTS4, as you will be changing turbo, manifolds etc etc - the cost of converting to turbo wouldnt be much more than fully building a GTSt? About the only extra you may need is to enlarge the sump.

How is the rest of the GTS4 driveline compared to GTR? Would it hold?

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
