So if you had an unlimited budget, and were set about building a dream car what would it be? Don't just say R35, or Ferrari x etc , I want to know builds that you've always wanted to see but never had the funds to do yourself.

Excuse my ignorance when it comes to cars (I am learning, I promise!), but I would personally love to see a;

S13 body with a S15 front (the front being for looks more than anything, I don't know if it makes the car any lighter).

RB26DETT head with a RB30DE bottom, bored out, ported (does ported = bored?) and polished, fully rebuilt with all the works.

A hefty turbo upgrade suitable for the RB30, maybe the T88, or a nice Garrett. I dunno, I drive an N/A so I haven't looked into turbos too much yet.

Add all the bells and whistles to make such a build work.

Basically, it'd be a light weight car with a monster engine. I don't know if a build like this could work, or whether its been done before (if it has, please post a link), but I figure if the engine fits it could be a pretty realistic build with some very nice results.

2x holden HX premiers blue with white roof (i already have one but its stock) lowered on some nice cragar rims all body stock all original interior bench seats etc. suspension set up so the thing could at least have a bit of handling!

Engine for car 1 - a nice addition of a corvette LS9 supercharged 7 litre or somethin like that V8. worked up again to anihilate tyres in any gear. i wouldn't stop till i could count the cylinders firing the cam was that lumpy.

Engine number 2 - tokyo drift style Rb26/30 with massive single turbo conversion somethin big enough to suck small children off the street with! and all the accesories straight out of japan to get her goin - cooler, fuel pump, injectors you know the story.

sounds like good to me.

when everyone is finished building theirs we will have to go for a cruise!

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
