That GTR just looks sweet!!!

Farrrk i just accidentally hit "report" on your post lol........ Its OK i cancelled it :P

I meant to agree with this - :yes:

im already looking at ECU and turbo upgrades -_- there goes another 7-10k for install tune and all the odd bits i need. will make over 400kw at all 4 tho with the rebuild. Looking at a Tomei turbo kits but i think that couldbe 12 months off.

Don't go with the tomei kits...it's in general agreement that their a laggy hunk of crap. I've gone with twin 2860-5 for my 400kw goal, but if i was buying the turbos now, i'd probarly look at twin GTX2863's OR possibly twin 2860-9 with E85....

...and vipec/haltech ecu for sure.

Have heard the same things...

Maybe -9s +85 would get you close with heaps of boost.. And would be super responsive?....

Yeah thats what i was alluding too. i'm a little worried about the responsiveness of my -5 set-up. i'm going to see how it all go's first, then if i'm not happy - i'll either vct the head or -9's. E85 will probarly come now anyway - i basically only need a surge tank :-).

IMHO -9's and E85 would be by far the easiest to do rather then going vct to get a responsive 400kw set=up

Yea it's all preference mate, depends if you like more linear power or a harder pull etc..

    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
