Who says it cant be used on the street? Rta dont have to know ;). I would love to see this happen, so what it might not make a million kw, but it would still be cool in my books, and very unique.

Best of luck mate, hope you can make it happen.

God help us if hot rodders had the same negative attitude some people on here have. We wouldn't have any of the cars or products we have today. We'd still be bolting on an air filter & exhaust and thinking how hot we are.

Somebody, somewhere has to have a fresh idea and move forward to complete it. I would be very surprised if help couldn't be found from the Castlemaine Rod Shop or any experienced Hotrod shop. I remember when Peter at Advan Performance put a V8 into his GTR. They said it couldn't be done, crap. Ok, so he sold it before it was finished but he was pretty busy at the time. Making any engine fit is no problem with enough fabrication and if you have knowledge or friends or associates with knowledge then go forward, be the 1st, what a car it would be.

street, track, drag,

in the world of AWD cars its a little fuzzy

what i want, a car to race on the street,

currently i have finished subaru liberty GT

pumping out nearly 300KW at the wheels

its a very fast car and its so usable on the street,

and i can takedown some more powerful rear drive cars on the street (while they sit on the start line in a cloud of smoke)

i was thinking of making that more powerful until i found this skyline

now im inlove, i have to get it on the road, it deserves it

but i want it to be fast, 10sec passes if possible, (yes i know this is easy with a rb26)

but the larger the engine we use the less lag we will get,

RB26 is a GREAT engine, RB30s are great too but they can be hit or miss,

a VR38 will be reliable, it will be fast, it will be upgrade able

now ive been talking to the guy in Europe that has put the vr38 in his r32

he said it was a bitch, and i will lose the power steering and aircon,

he says it will be a drag car,

and we cant really argue, he has done it

it wont stop me from trying, but i will make me look into all this before we start

everything is possible, its just how much money we want to throw at it

If you really want to do something stupid put 2 4g63 or 4b11t engines and gearboxes in, one in the front, one in the back.

you sir are on another level

im brave but not that brave

but that would be a rocket,

i recently stripped and rebuilt a 4G engine, they are actually pretty cool

Honestly the only reason i ask is looking at the above R with the conversion there is a hell of a lot of modding to make it close to fit. One would think the legalities of getting it on the road would be horrible. They have cut half of the front end out.... Just depends if they did that for weight saving or because they had to.

Have you spoken to the appropriate people regarding the legalities of getting the thing registered?

Also you are talking about racing on the street, i would leave that part out on a public forum. We don't support that kind of stuff around here.

I understand you wan't little lagg and power. I understand you want to do something that no one has ever done. There are so many things to consider before locking into anything. The main two are obviously can it be done and is it legal when fitted.

Like i said i would love to see this be done, but keep looking into it man.

Yeah i wouldn't want to be risking that as to fit the engine i'd say you have to go past a point of no return...

You can't exactly weld back in everything and swap the motor over lol

Not to mention it will be pretty noticeable for the cops... Massive bonnet lol

so what im seeing here

laws of physics are against me, it wont fit

budget is against me, it will be expensive

government is against me, it prob wont be allowed on the road

and now its clear why no one has done it before,

lol

Could still do something different.

Twin turbo V8?

But really how much money/time do you really want to throw at it.

Edited by Anfanee

so would it make everyone happy if i throw some forged internals, cams, bigger turbo and got it tuned

is that what the worlds wants,

I think you will find the world will be OK no matter what you do.

the Ls1 fits.

But i wouldn't bother.

3.4L stroker kit. Small twins or single. Make good power, good response, and spend the extra cash of diffs. Job done.

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
