Yeah no shit, thats about all you could get for around 1800. No interior, or box. Isn't the box worth 1500 anyway?

To put the 25 box in my 32 it cost nearly 2.5k at the end of the day and that's not paying for labour.

drag car aye.. ok i might know a weeny bit.

what class you looking at competing?

because if its higher classes, id be looking at getting a 3/4 chassis or a full chassis made.

so dont bother about too much about body condition, except for the roof and doors !

most of the other panels will be fibreglass.

how serious in terms of drag is it going to be? because drag / track = not same

driveline different, tough manualised gearbox for drag, 5spd for track, etc

i wouldnt worry about stereo, rims, exhaust, etc.

and if you are on a small budget, then drag racing isnt the sport you want to build a car.

and budgets blow out bigtime... i went from a simple 3540/6boost/nitto/80Lb inj, setup ... to a T51/6boost/nitto/220Lb setup ... why? because intercooling bugged me :down:

do it right the first time, dont take shortcuts. etc :)

Edited by Tocchi

Spend as little as 10k and get something already built and you and your dad can go racing. (S13, R32, old school R31 etc)

Building a race car is hugely expensive. No build has ever stuck to budget and unfortunatley once you start, your commited lol

As Tocchi, if your on a small budget then drag racing isnt for you.

Maybe look at the MC series, or AEM Speed dome events and stuff like that. There are guys there racing standard type cars. The more hp you look for, the more chance it will go bang and start costing big.

Good luck

thanx guys for your input but as i ask i am looking for arround the 1800 mark... now why will i be asking for a car with no box or motor... because i wont be using them and wtf... do you know that these things take time and why spend 5k on a body when there only worth 2k hmm take a good look at your selves and stop post number bashing....

BACK on track....

thanx mate yea you have a pm.....

tocchi yea man thanx im the gm killer from ford forums if you wana talk bout ur build there but were pritty serious and we know how much this stuff cost... as a ball park fig were both putting in 25k over 2 years and then the fun will start...

honestly, $25,000 can buy you a sweet car thats already built.

eg: my R32 cost me $13k !!! :thumbsup:

why not save up and then buy a ready to go one??

but then again, building a car is an experience... hard to say if its good or bad (we all know about my EF XR6T lol)

$25k will get you a decent way with a build... how fast are you looking to go?

because you can get 11s cheaply, 10s a bit more, but single digit times... yeh bulk coin... if you want, i can PM you a list of my expenses as of 4 months ago (yeh bit slack), but im aiming for 7s/low 8s .. so different paths i think

i so so understand that you guys are trying to help me ay... thats why i posted it hear... Thank you......

just when people say ahh thats low as and dont bother because these things cost money... but i actualy understand that you are trying to help me but to say that when they havent met me ay... and were gona build it not buy a built one... a bit of bonding and as i said.. we dont want to just buy a car then go to the track the next day.... its more rewarding if you do it your self and as we both have high hp fords... there is going to be a ford engine in it lol they make great power for a phoon motor stock and unoped your looking at 400rwkw in a 1100 kg car that thing will do low 10s mabe put a bit of money into motor and running gear and 9s are in sight... tho with the skyline shell anything is possable ... fiberglass is going to be on the front half to get the weight down...

lol this is going to be epic

now thats what im talking about what will that push 850-900 hp love the front chassi

also a clarafication i am on a buget of 40-50k over 2 years no rush and the first lot of 10k is comming form the sale of my old mans runarround..(00 ford fairlane)

I kinda agree with you there Chris. Guys, he asked a question that wasnt really answered. Yeah, he could have added a bit more info into the first post, but you all started flaming about the cost before you realised. Besides, building the car is half the fun, especially considering you two are bonding over it.

Wish I could do this with my dad :D

Good luck man, I dont agree with the motor thing, but thats just me :P

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
