how does one put so much effort and money (and sponsorship) into such a car for so long... then sell.

...I guess cause someone else was driving/winning.

they had developed as far as they thought they could take it, starting a new project to go even faster now

it will be expensive. and EPA is a scary scary organisation.

but do it anyway. it'll be awesome. NA+Ts have moar low down torque due to the higher compression. Though, budget your conversion for turbo brakes, and stuff.

I was meaning more along the lines of acquire new engine, put in new engine. Not sure if the GT-Four comes with bigger breaks like the GT-V does. Information like that is hard to find.

Pretty sure it's been done before, and there'd be certain perks in doing so.

But also consider that it's most likely cheaper and easier to sell it and buy a GTT after your four years is up.

Moreover, consider the fact you may not want a skylineand post-Ps. My mate has a 34 GTFOUR, and I'm pretty sure for a long while he was considering N.A.+T. Has the AWD as well, so.

It's actually for sale at the moment as he's just got off his p's, if you want I can find deets for you (you could ask him deets about the brakes etc at least, I forget how much he's wanting for it).

But, I digress. He's on the hunt for an STi now. Which was my point about four years being a long time ; and that things change.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
