Depends where you get them from.. about 4.5g to 5g AUD for brand new 2 x gt-rs. I would assume similar price for hks twin 2530/2540. :) Works out almost the same price if you order two garrett gt25 thats rated to 400hp with similar a/r housings... :)

That's right, for 300kw at the wheels you will need the following.

Bigger turbos say 2540's, power fc, cam gears, injectors, rail, pump, regulator, exhaust, bigger cooler & probably suggest some coils and a bloody good tuner. You can pretty well get to 270kw at the wheels with out doing the fuel system but again you need a good tuner. Bottom line is you need money.:uh-huh:

Ive got an R32 GTR with 2530's and power fc (and avc-r) and my god it flys, as you probably should be able to tell by my smashed gearbox and clutch :rolleyes: (quarter mile attempt #1 gone wrong)

The car made 309kw on a dynopak dyno, so this is around the 280-290kw mark at all wheels. It was a pretty good tune I guess now (in hindsight), car never detonated, but I was frequently getting warnings from the Power FC that the injector duty cycle was 90%+ when I was full throttle coming upto 7000rpm. My advice would be;

Power FC, HKS 2530/GT-RS, HKS adjustable cam gears, new fuel pump, new injectors and if youre budget can stretch it, a HKS step 1 (256 degree) exhaust camshaft... the exhaust camshaft makes quite a large power difference, and on a similar setup to my car previously, would make 50kw more at the wheels than the best I could do.

Hmmmmm. 300 rwkw cheaply...

I would go for a pair of N1 turbos (or standard turbos with N1 internals) around $2200. Bolt straight up, saves heaps on pipework and fittings.

Pair of split dump pipes say $700.

3" engine pipes and 3.5" exhaust $900.

Bosch 044 motorsport fuel pump $400.

Adjustable Sard fuel pressure regulator $350

Standard injectors OK, with 10% overdrive using higher fuel pressure.

Used set of HKS 264 cams say $800

Standard intercooler OK

That totals around $5500 plus fitting (if you can't do it yourself) and tuning. Sounds about right.

It would have good average power as well, not just a peeky 300 rwkw at one single rpm point.

Hope that helps

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
