hi all , my head is about to explode ,iv built an rb30det over the last year or so ,originally intended for an r32 gts4 skyline but then i changed my mind as the car was costing too much to get on the road to begin with, after lots of cash and frustration id had enough so i bought a vr berlina to put it in for something different , now im very confussed , one of them has to go but i dont know which heres what will be done to both once on the road.

vr berlina:

respray in original color , dark green

rb30 fitted with twincam head

t51r turbo

maybe sc14 supercharger to get it movin

4.11 full spool

statesman dash and caprice seats ,carpets and door cards (already fitted)

ve v6 brake upgrade

ve stockies or stato rims

fully manualised turbo 400 with transbrake

r32 gts4:

respray matte black

fit rb30

gt3540 turbo

already has coilovers ,hicas lock bar ,adjustable everything

starcorp tracer 2 rims (already fitted)

half cage

blue/black leather retrim

r33 gtr brake upgrade with dba rotors

very strong clutch

my dilemma is i could have either car at this state with the same amount of effort and although an rb30det vr would be cool the r32 would also be a cool car

further down the track nitrous and a spool 3.4 stroker kit will be added , hav the nos havnt got the stroker kit yet.

im just really confused and after peoples opinions

research has been done ,all is legal , same emissions , no holes cut blah blah , the car is a streeter , weekends friday nights ,drags and burnout comps if vr drags and track days if 32

Tell me when you register it if you use the VR.

Mark.

so you think you can legally fit a 3.4lt Frankenstein Nissan motor into a Holden, add a massive turbo AND a supercharger, run a spool'd diff, nitrous and a transbrake, and somehow make all this legal?

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
