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

    • Welcome.  800hp should be a bit of weekend fun!
    • I'm going with "Just run two gates". Fix the problem conclusively. It's the only way you'd ever truly know, right?. This is all pretty much splitting hairs. Even the extreme example where it takes two whole seconds at 100kmh or something sounds monstrously dubious. And anyway, when you're punching the throttle when you 'need' this power, you aren't at 2800rpm in the wrong gear. Test it at 5600rpm in 3rd gear, when you're traction limited punching out of a sweeper. Much difference there when you account for traction?
    • And the full R32 GTR wiring diagrams are also freely available. Hmm.... there's supposed to be an auto replace that would have linked the thread. Here it is, manually  
    • Ahh...should have been clearer ~ there's 2 ... SMJ = super multi junction (connector)...   ...this is connector 6 & 25 in above image -- body harness to engine loom (6) & body harness to main loom (25) Headlights go to front via connector 6 ; fuel gauge goes to tank sender via connector 25  ...like I say this is R33 diagrams, but at a pinch R34 won't be too far different. *IF* the two ground faults are related, this can be the only place where both wires converge (as one runs to the back, the other to the front)... ....thing is, you probably need to establish if the faults are related (unless you examine that area and find obvious chaffing on the looms there to body ground)....*IF* the fuel gauge is still broken (full needle deflection), I'd be headed for the boot, remove fuel sender wire, key on and measure the voltage there ~ it should be roughly 10volts. If that's ok, check sender to ground resistance...if this is a dead short to ground (and there's fuel in it), then sender has failed or something funky has happened to wiring in the tank. edit: ahh...rereading the thread, this is R32....above fuel sender test still valid tho'
    • I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I’ve been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I’ve driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times—no issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It’s not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test—belt isn’t too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it’s slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it’s just how it sits? I’m probably overthinking this, but since it’s my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don’t want to mess anything up.   Also, I’m thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there’s a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!
