R34 GTR - dependable if done right , will increase or stabilize in value over time more then likely.

EVO - Broken Balancer shafts, gearbox, clutch failures sucks fuel bad for 2.0

STI - Broken rear mounts for sway bars, tranny failures, clutches, sounds funny..lol

Commo HSV, too common , to big

Ford same

Lexus IS200, with 2J power, for classy ride

Supra RZ TT

Lotus Exige anyone ???? no space.. but a hoot to drive

R32 VW is decent

Honda S2000 with supercharger kit on it. wide body kit

Honda Type R

Acura Type R

FD RX7 TT

MR2 done up with widebody kit, etc.

993

DB9

more to choose from interstate after the bank crash the prices fell fast on some decent rides..

just keep the GTR..lol

MY07 or MY08 Liberty GT Spec B Sedan Manual

Not a big as a JZX, better on insurance than an EVO or STi, but with all the STi running gear (2.5T, 6 speed etc). Sure SLIGHTLY heavier, but still heap of fun:

And with a few simple external mods look even more sexual (plenty of JDM K2 gear on this one)

Just like constantly rebuilding RB26's because they spin bearings everytime you go above 3,000rpm lol

Hardly... if looked after and tuned right. No worries. I'd honestly keep the 34 Bec, it's already modified nicely now, just enjoy it!

The man speaks the truth.

Your not going to find another car that can come close to the GTR.

Anything else, and your going backwards!

I was being sarcastic, should have used italics lol.

Just the generalisation of 'rotors need rebuilds every weekend and every RB26 is the world WILL spin a bearing' it fucken shits me actually

Just like the generalisation that RB20's are slow, shit, and weak motors....

true. dion had no problems keeping up with the convoy from loxton in spite of his busted turbo... was quite impressive

-D

RB20's dont have that 'boost rush' but they are awesome motors for drifting.

Should my CA sh!t its dacks... I'll be craming in an RB20 without a doubt. At the price of them its a win win lol

that's crazy, if your going to go 2 litre then you would have to go SR (that left a bad taste in my mouth) but if your going RB has to be 25 not 20.

Just remember the tight ass pays twice.

My motto as well

Why do I want a 25?

I am not doing it to get out of doing it cheaply at all but I think the RB20 is fantastic for hovering around 7,000rpm for extended periods of time.

SR's are sh!t.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
