Hi Guys I wanna join motor sport and i'm seeking a track ready car as I know building one form scratch isn't cheep.

Though i am an aspirated fan, i love boosted skylines

The link below is the car I have in mind though a mate on mine thinks the car is too powerful & serious to start off with. Do you guys agree?

I want value for money and more so Cheap Thrills, and i think bringing a car up to a similar spec as the one below will cost more. yes?

The mods are:

6 point roll cage

Bigger turbo

R34 GTR brakes

R32 GTR intercooler

Spitfire Coil packs

in car adjustable boost reg.

High flow injectors

z32 airflow meter

Recently dyno tuned

White line sway bars

Has been used in Targa tasmania.

I know its hard to say but generally speaking and from your experience, is a car like this expensive to maintain and should i expect regular problems?

looks like a bargain to me. If you think it's too powerful turn down the boost.

Definitely worth considering.

I wouldn't expect it to be particularly unreliable, no more so that any other car that regularly sees the track.

Good car.

Contact Savman or DJdrift to get the inside line mate.

or me :) , it is a cheap car for the amount of work that has gone into it , you couldn't build one the same anywhere near that price . as for your skill level , it's a bit of a jump in the deep end with that much power but i'm sure you could whack a smaller turbo on it and get it retuned untill your confident :D

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?

My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
