you can run GTRs in rwd....

and with a set of 2860-7s you can push 280 with no other mods.

buy a cheap one that you see all the time these days , fix it up and 'build it'

whack the 2860-7s or -5s in and your just about there power wise. :)

3 grand max for turbos + gaskets etc.

I'd go for a gtr and run it in rwd. Room for more rubber, stronger engine an the option to go awd again if you want to go around a track fast or you have too much power to put through 2 wheels. There is also the bonus of better interior bits and projector headlights.

There is still plenty you can do to it ie. suspension, build the engine, cage, fuel system, rims, turbos, cooler, exhaust, ecu etc. etc.

You could sink quite a bit of money into a gtst to bring it up to the same level as a stock gtr in rwd, why not start with the gtr and build on that.

I have an rb25 r32 and its definitely a wicked project. depends what you really want. The gtr is a good idea in some respects. But I'm having more fun building the gtst than when I owned a gtr. You could even consider a silvia with an rb?

Neo bottom end has GTR rods from factory which are better (stronger) in design. Not really that important imo unless your running serious power but doesnt hurt.

Neo top end (head) from what I (and many others on here) have seen/proven flows better and has a superior chamber design. Less prone to detonation, and overall will be able to move more air when compared to a R33 RB25 head. Obviously there are many variables to take into account. But when comparing apples with apples, the Neo head is a better option.

thats exactly where I was going Abuser :)

NEO + light chassis + big turbo + big rubber = Whur grrrr BOOSH!

might seem easy on paper but once you go down the road to building a car properly it's not as easy as you think. what you've mentioned might be good for straight line acceleration but you did mention you want a bit of track work out of it as well so you might want to look deeper into it instead of just lightness and power

oh, suspension and cage will be done at some point, theres not point having it if u cant put it to the ground, and no point going fast if u cant stop.

This will take ages, the first thing is getting the motor in then slowly slowly from there when funds and time permit

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
