Opinions on setup of turbo ect on a r34

[Birds]

Many of us could buy amazing cars if we'd saved our money up over the years instead of spending it on modifications, but then there's no enjoyment in the meantime and that's what car enthusiasm is about - not just the end product but watching something grow. It's like kid. And you can get to the end of it and say damn I wasted a lot of money or you can remember that you enjoyed yourself over those years and kept yourself entertained doing something you love. So I consider the cash spent a write off from the start. It's definitely one of the more expensive passions in life, but a passion nonetheless and no way was I going to waste all my years driving something boring whilst saving for something impressive

Don't agree with what OP has done but at least he's happy!

The thing is, the OP has done exactly what anyone with a modified Skyline has done?

It's only making 181kw because it's on low boost. If there was a DET in there the thing would be pushing 300KW at 22psi like everyone has been doing since 2005, and spending about the same amount of money that everyone has done since 2005.

The only kicker is the gearbox (maybe thats why its 181kw and not 300) because it'll have the NA gearbox. NA Brakes, but R34 has 5 stud hubs etc.

The takeaway from this is how much more it costs to mod your own car vs buying someone else's modded car.
If OP hadve sold his original car he would have got "some" money back. Lets say 5K for the entire car.

He could then take that 5K, and the 13K he spent now and buy this:

 

 

And had a MUCH better result sitting in his driveway.

I also should mention its a 25gt-v series 2 lol, agreed very well said kinkstaah havent put too much thought into it yet so definately throw some ideas at me [emoji14]

RB34! 

Spool Import sells complete short motors 

[Kinkstaah]

^--- if you want to go completely mad, start shopping for a bottom end now so when you need to put it in in a year... you won't be waiting for a year for the engine build to arrive.

Alternatively, buy a stock gtt motor now to have it ready for later, and be happy with 300kw and a fun car and save your wallet. (noone does this)

[skippyyy]

Completely mad sounds like the best option [emoji14] so rb30 bottom 25neo head? How much roughly would i be looking at for the build engine?

Hey, I tried 

[r32-25t]

For the price of an xr6 turbo these days you'd just buy one of them and for under 5k on top have over 300kw or grab an f6 and be closer to 400

[skippyyy]

G6 not f6 mate would be the way to go lol cheap with lots of power but fords arent my type of car, you go buy a xr6 get rid of ur skyline

[r32-25t]

I already have both 

[skippyyy]

Or you could just do that [emoji14]
