At least the emo won't try and grenade itself.

Or maybe it will.

I'd own a 34. But f**k paying that much for one in this market.

I agree. U could buy a brand spanker evo x and have change and warranty. Its a no brainer, except its like selling your soul to the devil[emoji12]

An ex workmate of mine has one, he modded and maxed out the stock turbo at around 300awkw on e85. Engine eventually threw a rod and he spent an arm and a leg on a new block with cosworth internals and FP turbo for a reliable 500awhp. Don't work with him any longer so can't say how its held up in the year or so its been at 500whp.

At least 2 less cylinders to worry about when rebuilding.

Anywho,

Drove the car. Makes my 33 feel as old as it is.

-Steering is very responsive with good feedback.

-Brakes are amazing for standard rotors and pads.

-It's slow. But what do you expect from a standard car.

-Chassis is stiff af. Coilovers contributed to bumpiness. Momma ain't raise no pussy.

-Gearbox feels nice.

-Seats are great. Those emo recaro's are so good.

-Engine bay has lots of space.

I can see why these things do so good at the track. There is no real sloppy feel anywhere. Give it a exhaust and put e85 in the tank with a tune and I reckon it is a perfect car for driving on the road and being a weekend track warrior.

TLDR Probably going to sell my soul.

it's a sad reality, but R32/33/34 Skylines GTS-t GT-Rs are pretty much all siet boks compared to newer cars.. heck a Ford Focus RS would munch hard... imagine a basic modded Ford Focus RS.. would clean up a a GT-R with 50k worth of mods.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
