[WazR32GTSt]

have you considered buying that R31 then dropping in the RB30ET from the VLturbo? will provide PLENTY of power for you (probably more than an rb20det from the R32) even though its single cam it still has the extra displacement

it must be a straight fit as its the same engine and all the wiring/ECU is probably the same or very similar...

r31's handle like boats with 20yearold suspension, and from the sounds of your posts, your gonna wanna drive it sik and thrash the crap out of it in general. so if u have 2.6k left over

spend 1k on the suspension, 300 on some decent brakes (new rotors and decent pads), and keep 1k for broken things (in 6months you'll find out if your car brakes lots of things, or nothing at all)

spend the other 300 new timing belt, new oil, new plugs, new coolant, (new 02 sensor if the existing one is stuffed, like most are, if you don't replace this and yours is stuffed you can enjoy 16-20L per 100k's type economy, instead of 10L/100k)

thats the sensible but boring thing to do

the fun thing to do,

turbo your current motor, can be done for about 1.2k (DIY)

3" exhuast 600

FMIC 800

thats a fun way of spending 2.6k, but bluntly you'll kill yourself if your new to driving and kill yourself twice if you have stock suspension/brakes

what would be the best thing to do to a RB20DET to get as much outa it for cheap?

The best thing to do to the RB20 would be forget about it.

If you want to do it "on the cheap", the RB30ET is the way to go.

The RB30 is much easier to get big powergains out of for less $$$

The best thing to do is buy a stock R31 and just learn to drive properly. Stock R31's driven properly (even heavy ass boatlike TI's) have been know to run away from modded R31's on twisty roads because half the dickheads out there can't drive for shit.

Don't go and buy a car purely because it is quick in a straight line, you've a good chance of crashing it anyway, or losing your liscence. Wait until you're more mature before you get a quick Skyline
