Rb25 - 650

B&m shifter - 300

Ecu and loom - 400

Mail order tune - 200

VZ Ls1 and auto - 2800

Conversion - 6000

Gearbox mods - 2000

Cam & tune - 3000

Plus all the other misc crap, oil, filters, tyres, care products.... It's easy over 20 :(

Butttttttttt I'm with Matt

Lol once my mods went past the initial cost of the car i decided to ignore and keep going :P

I love the thing and its worth it every time I start it. As soon as it stops make me smile ill get rid of it (not gonna happen)

And that is why we do what we do! The minute you stop smiling you slap 2 snails down the side and you are good to go again :ph34r:

  • 2 weeks later...

Update:

Just got off the phone with a&t and they've informed me that the 1st and 4th bands in the gearbox are burnt (ie. f**ked) and will need replacing.... Great :(

second hand box would be cheaper at a guess mate.....

Gearbox is fixed! :woot:

Picking the thing up this afternoon, keen to see how she goes with the new Stallie, you guys know what this means....

I'll b at the drag day to keep all the six pots honest :banana:

(Although will probley still be stock motored ie no big cam/tune... Yet)

I'll organise some form of camera/video recording for the drag day. I'm sure one of the sau qld boys will be filming it anyway.

Ill post up my time slips when I eventually run it (ie the 29th, unless I go down to a test and tune for a bit of a practise run)

Holly mother of god, just got this thing back with the 3200 stall, FMVB and first gear. All I can say is wow... A launch from 1st gear without and foot brake stall it just flashes up and goes limiter in first and then limiter in second as it lays about 80m of black lines, I'm in shock, i love it.

These poor 235s just arnt up to the task anymore, and I may have to source some better tires for the drag day as these may aswell be plastic.

Big thanks to Trevor from A&T autos in toowoomba, great company to deal with and would recommend them to anyone chasing trans stuff in the area.

Tomorrow is my last day on my p plates, so keen to get rid of them an unleash "The Abomination" on the streets :devil:

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
