Stock rods

Forged pistons

you dont neceserally need forgies. But if you have the cash then put in either GTR rods or Eagle H-Beam rods with CP forgies.

acl bearings, oil pump and water pump, good head gasket. For a healthy engine that wont pack it in after u hit the 300 mark. Make sure you have a good fuel system too. Drop in Nismo or any japanese injectors over 500cc, 500hp at a minimum fuel pump.

a good ECU is a must, if you can get your hands on a Power FC then get it, if not a Greddy Emanage will do if you can find someone to tune it. If you go a pfc then get a Z32 air flow meter.

Turbo you can use a 30/40 .82 or a 35/40 .82 with a Tial 44mm gate, you can use a standard exhaust manifold with an adaptor plate, or an aftermarket lowmount or high mount. 3" at a minimum exhaust all the way.

You dont really need an aftermarket intake manifold, but a Greddy Plenum is excelent if you want to make things neater.

Find yourself an R33 GTR intercooler if you can or a JJR cooler will do. Get good quality piping made up.

With that you will easily see 300kw.

But then you will need a twin plate clutch (ORC 709D) is good and if you are gona drive it hard, you might want to look into a KAAZ 1.5 or a 2way diff.

Firstly you will need about 10-12k, that will get you your engine parts and supporting mods.

Then another 4k for R&R of engine, machining and assembly.

Or you could just whack on a GT35R (with supporting mods) and have some fun in it while saving for your engine rebuild.

there really isnt any point making a limit with how much you are going to spend, because you will never stick to it. By the time you know it 12 grand wont be enough. just make a list and buy buy buy

haha i finished off my engine and made 295kw.. then sold off the 3540 and baught something smaller, i have an easy 5grand left to spend on engine then i haveto do panel work then a new clutch then a rollcage etc etc so on and so forth.. never ends..

if i hadto start agen, i would do everything at once, not in stages. Because it ends up costing more and taking longer.

Keep the internals stock, push the power out and see how long it lasts. If it breaks then decide whether to build it or what direction you want to go with the car. It might last 3 years before it lets go and by then you might have enough money to buy a OS GIKEN engine for all you know.

^^ ain't that the truth.

Also, someone on here made 314rwkw with a GT3076R and Water/Meth injection on stock internals. Cheaper way to 300rwkw IMO, and im looking into buying one of these kits from AEM.

Plenty of threads over the years on this... here is a handful... all i searched with was 300rwkw, nice and easy.

Please take the time to read all these threads, and peoples pasts comments (which probably wont be any different this time either).

Once you've read them all, then start another thread with the specific questions that are not answered in the below (if you have any questions left, some of these threads go into immense detail)

The Dyno thread for one is a good place to start for parts vs results

Then the "300rwkw" threads...

    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
