R32gtst

So I've decided to buy a r32! I'm pre approved for a loan but only have 2 weeks to use it. I have the option of about 3 cars. 2 of them have rb25det but run RB20 transmissions. And 1 has the standard rb20 

The 2 rb25det are around the $10-12k and the other is $6k 

I have a budget of around $15k 

Question is am I better of buying the 25 swapped ones and spending a few thousand on mods. Trying to reach the 250kw -280kw with a budget of around $5k 

Or buying the rb20det one and having around $9k to spend and doing a 25/26swap ? 

The car will be only used as a weekender and maybe a track day once a year. 

And whatever one I get will be upgraded over the next few years.

$5K will not bring a stock RB25DET up to 250KW and upgrade to a big box transmission. Do not have your choices dictated to by financiers. If you are good for a loan take your time finding the right car and use another lender if necessary.

3-5k to bring a stock RB25 to 250-280kw is a joke right? Injectors, turbo, ecu, RB25 gearbox, clutch, tail shaft, tune plus all the other small things your looking at $10k minimum. If you want to be able to make stop, turn and go you are going to need a 1.5 way LSD, decent pads and rotors, briaded brake lines, tyres, new suspension and new bushes, that's another $10k there.

My personal opinion is don't get a bank loan for your toys, if you can't pay for them straight up wait until you can.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
