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

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
