What should I do with my car down the track?


Recommended Posts

Many of you know the story of my car:

Currently it’s an R34 25GT with a bolt-on turbo, bigger injectors, fuel pump and aftermarket ECU….with respect to the future, should I

A) Revert it back to N/A and sell it like that (would only take a day to do)? Then goto option D) or E)

B) Sell it as is with all the bits on? Then goto option D) or E)

C) Put in an RB30DET and keep it?

D) Get a 350Z and put turbo’s on that?

E) Get an R34 25GT Four and put a Stagea Engine and gearbox in and have a cheaper “GTR-esque” car?

Option D) would have to be a fair bit further into the future though...that's not cheap :)

Revert to stock.

Sell bits separately.

Buy a partially modded GTT or import GTX Four. You can't get RB25DET with 4wd in R34's but you can get manual.

If you go the four make sure you start with a bigger turbo and all the rest. Kick our arses straight out. I'm going to go RB30DET eventually I think.

option f) get gt-r gbox and front susp....(for 4 w drive) fit vk45 v8 and twin turbs)......big job i know, but it would be abso frikkin lutely awesome if done right

a) then get something cheap and put a fast engine in it for the "play car".. depends how much money you have and what you want to do with it.

if you want a 350Z just get one, but may cost a mild fortune to modify that properly.

I have a 350Z at the moment and have been looking at the twin turbo option ... APS are developing a bolt on kit they claim to be good for 340kw (info and clips on their website) and estimate the cost at about $15k, and Nizpro in Melbourne do a twin turbo kit + internal mods which from memory they claim something like 360kw but want $45k.

Problem though with the Z is traction ... even with just my s/s exhaust traction can be a problem and I have 275/19's on the rear.

Option F) sounds sweet....but I'd have to start with a GT Four, otherwise the 4WD conversion would get expensive.

Maybe some sort of 4WD RB30 massive turbo combo???? That could probably be done with a lot less wallet abuse than the other combinations...hmmm

I think now I'm on a house buying mission the 350Z will have to sit in my dreams for a bit longer...especially seeing as traction is not it's strong point.

Hungry...I'll do a straight swap for that!!!!! :)

Syl are you taking the piss? I'm not putting Chick Torque on my car!!! :)

I'm still leaning toward the GT Four...and the RB30, so if anyone wants to give me $25K for my car....in N/A form of course ;)

ide have to go with the 350Z mainly because of the rarity of turbo 350z's in australia

do something different, you know the 350z + turbo(s) is a really good combination :rofl:

grab a 350 still under warrantly, slap a hks 3040 on there with all the other goodies and if anything goes wrong, take it back to stock, take her back and say 'dunno what happened, was driving along one minute and the next a piston was in my lap'

j/k

at the end of the day, do you even know someone with a 350z? let alone a 300-400kw turbo one?

:burnout: :burnout: :burnout:

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
