Well I'm looking at getting either an R32 GTR or, an engine and gearbox-less 32.

I'd be putting in either an RB25det or an RB30et.

What do you think would be a good price on a gts-t etc with a blown engine.

Will I need to do any mods to the brakes for the power?

Are the rear axles 28 spline, I'm assuming yes.

What has 5 stud and what has 4 stud.

I'm basically looking for something thats already tough that will handle a half cut or similar.

And I'd only want to pay 6-10k for that car if everything was in good condition - minus engine gearbox.

Tell me what you think.

Good price i reckon you wuld get a 32 fair condition with a running engine for 10 if u hunt melbourne is the place too search for cheap cars......

you would get a great looking 32 less engine and box for 10 ......

just make sure you get the turbo version of the 32 due too brakes and diff difference too much hassel if you dont get the turboed version

Thanks for the quick reply, well currently I'm in the middle of converting my n/a vl. But I'm getting slack on that and want something newer.. Not much newer but still.

Hows the MX7 go bolting up, will it fit in driveline channel and have the stick poking out in the same area? I'm assuming engine mounts would be the same for all rbs or very similar.

May even buy one complete and sell engine/ gearbox, do a transplant into my vl. Got me onto another idea, thanks champ.

As in will the mx7 - 5speed turbo gearbox out of vlt, fit into the skylines driveline tunnel.

And would the gearstick come out in the same place in the cabin?

I'm assuming the engine mounts would be the same as they are all the same series.

I'm just trying to decide whether to put an rb30/25 with the mx7 gearbox in or to go with something else.

stick with the RB30det block and put the Rb25 det head on too make it twin cam very common in all skylines and vls .... should fit i dont see why not engine mounts will fit just use your rb30 block from the vl stick a rb 25 head on it .

dont know why u wanna use the vl gearbox just get a manual or rb 25 manual stick it behind the rb30 you have to sheer the dowl in the rb25 box too accept the block if not it wont line up ....

well if u wanna drag or drift im assuming u wanna drag so stick with the vl auto beef it up a lil and go tear the strip down ... if u want go with a powerglide 2 speed box they are as tuff as guts and dont need much modifying too get it too race specs chuck a high stall convertor in it and theres a few seconds gaind alone .....

    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
