Hey guys, I want to get a GTR to build up, I want it to be a sort of time attack car. I'm just wondering since I will be changing everything from the driveshaft, the engine, seats, doors, boot, bonnet, wheels etc why buy a gtr for like 40k if the chassis is the same in the GT. SO my question really is, is the chassis exactly the same? I mean EXACTLY as in you can put all the GTR parts in if you wanted to without any mods? (Not that I'll do that). Is it made from the same material? I'm asking this because I've found R34 GTs for like 10k, that's dirt cheap and thats not all, I would sell the GT's engine, seats, bonnet, exhaust etc and it would end up as like 7k only. Then I would build it up, I'm pretty sure it's cheaper than buying a GTR and then doing the build. So what do you guys think?

Well I suppose it depends if you want an AWD or just RWD.

If you are just after RWD there is nothing wrong with buying a GT/GTt.

Here is a good thread to read http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/R3...ld-t280439.html

The materials with the exception on the front hanging panels are the same.

Major points of difference are bolt-in strengthening in GTR (at B pillar and rear tower notably), and the GTR also has scallops in the front "chassis" rails for front driveshafts.

Firewall also recessed for booster for clutch master.... but not essential for a race car.

Basically, all of it can be got around.

if you don't care about 4wd and are happy with rwd then go the gt-t. will work out a lot cheaper. for the money you save buying the car you could have it modded to be much faster than the gtr. if you were thinking of making a 4wd gt-t with a heap of gtr stuff then just get the gtr to start with.

If it's only for track use, go for the GT/GT-T and spend heaps on Mods.

One of my friend did pretty much the same as you. He built up his GT-T with RB26 in it, etc. for track and spent lots on it. But now, I think he's selling it for $30k+. :D

I was thinking about 4WD but I guess 2WD isn't so bad, the thing is I could buy a GTR but this idea just hit me that maybe this is cheaper. If there's welding and stuff to get it close to the GTR then I guess I'll just get a GTR and sell all the unwanted parts like brakes, suspension, seats etc.

Where can I get a high KMs GTR for cheap? There's nothing under $38,000.

They pop-up every now and then. Patience is the key :)

I remember seeing one not too long ago it was $36,000.

There were some on j-spec that were reasonably priced.

The advantage with buying a GTR (if you are thinking AWD) straight out as opposed to a GT4 (non turbo, AWD, only in Auto).

- GTR has the RB26DETT already.

- 6 speed maual trans

- Wider body

- Stronger axels

- Brembo brakes

Basically what I'm trying to say is - in order to build an AWD monster it will cost you much more to build up a GT4 as opposed to a GTR.

The cost of labour during the conversions/custom parts will cost heaps. Even if you decide to sell the GT4 parts you will not get much money in return. There also seems to be more support and bolt on parts for a GTR too.

Fair enough that's a really good assessment. I am willing to pay for a 40k GT-R but since most of the parts like the brakes, suspension etc are getting replaced I'm being patient to find a cheap one. I'm not building the car by myself I've got 2 of my mates in on it so money isn't that tight but getting a cheap one would help save some money plus it'll make the missus happy, she says I'm having a mid life crisis lmao. If anyone knows one for like 34-36k even in high K's I'd much appreciate it.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping.

      Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.

      Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂

      I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
