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?

A silviavwith an RB Won't last long on the street

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

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
