Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

[Ants]

Car was making 285kw's on 98, so I dam well hope its making over 300 on E85... I think i'll upgrade now.

I've been making up a bit of a spreadsheet of all things i want to do to the car, with prices and whatever other info I want to put in there, just so i can organise my head and jot down stuff so i don't forget it.

Shits expensive. UP to 25K already.

does this include head work Pete?

Would love to review you're spreadsheet PM me if you can

Needs more pool fence.

Well, i mean, it looks great without more pool fence but needs it. dam regulations

first thing I thought......how no fence? it doesnt look like an old pool.

Few more pix

Nice!. LED's are rad.......but pool lights in general are a bad thing they never last

[Bunta]

I would be interested in having a look too!

[Beelzebub89]

Yeah i did the same thing. Terrifying isnt it.

From all the options I laid out i think the best bang for buck gtr wise is -9s with supporting mods, overfill the oil and go nuts on brakes and suspension and tyres. 300-330kw responsive as hell and fairly reliable if you pick up a late model 32 with the updated crank.

Enough to have loads of fun on the street and on track but not so expensive that you're shitting yourself every time you're on track or you break stuff every time it gets taken for a drive.

Thats what I'm looking for in my next one, maybe some time next year.

[Ants]

-9s for street / mountain runs and occasional track day hands down.

Although I think Pete really wants to crank things up

[Beelzebub89]

Yeah ideally we'd all be able to afford 450kw monsters but unfortunately thats not the case.

Cost/benefit wise how much happier will you be with 400kw than with 300kw? Or even 200kw?

Not to mention the opportunity cost of spending 40k on a gtr vs investing it in something that will give you a return.

Sorry for being a bit of a downer lol

nope. You are just thinking what most others are mate.

I agree. Aiming for 400+kw is not gonna be cheap either way you look at it.

Plus after you go beyond 450rwkw things start to shit itself ie transmission, driveshafts

I like to keep the power levels (for Skyline GTR) pegged at 446kw / 600hp that's enoughto scare the shit outa you and maintain a good balance between power and reliability

But that's just my opinion

[Beelzebub89]

Yeah slippery slope once the wick is wound up.

Anyways im off to bed absolutely shattered, gnight mangs

[Ants]

Gnite Beelzebub89

Am to also going to bed

Nite all

[sneakey pete]

I'll probably start a build thread and attach something when I get back from work tonight. Some figures are hand wavy, like head work, others are more precise. Realized when I went to bed last night that I forgot to include costs for a crank trigger, but that's what this list is for.

as far as money goes, I'm not going to be doing the expensive engine work until probably the end of next year, and I'm putting away savings 2:1 to investment:car in that time, so yeah, I'd rather spend it on the car.

[Ants]

Crank Trigger eh!

Nice

Yeah build thread will help for sure so dooooooi eeeeeetttttt!
