Congratz dude cant wait to see car driving again. If you dont mind me asking how much you payed and where you got it from im interested just to compare. Took my car to R31 vs RICE dyno comp today was good to see her in action again. Dont get licence for 9 more days but had a freind drive it first time since i've fixed it it's really been driven was good to sit as a passenger even :)

Boost feels good again.

oh man oh man that looks so damn good and for 7K delivered???? they are that cheap?? how much to install??

i'm wondering now is it possible to replace my RB25DET with an RB26 but couldn't justify if it is like $7K to install so might aswell sell my R33 and buy a R32 GTR

im starting my Fly in fly out work with WMC shortly so im not even gona be here to finish up my own engine just yet :)

Its not to bad to install you just have to pull alot of crap out and remember where it goes!

The only things that i can see that i need to get done professionaly are get the gtr sump modded and modify the exhaust. The wiring im not to sure about yet but i doubt that will be hard

It took me a good day to pull the engine out - ive never done anything like it before so yea it took me a bit.

      Max horse power stock internals?

      G30-770. So long as you're talking engine horsepower, and not some bullshit wheel/axle/mystery horsepower.

      It's a lottery, no one is going to be able to predict how much HP YOUR engine is going to handle as history has a huge part to play.    As examples though. I have one rb26 on 630rwhp, running 16 years now at that level, track use, only a couple of times a year.  Another 790rwhp, about 2 years now, driven every weekend.    If i was to give you a "safe" number I would say 450rwhp on 98 and 550-600 on e85.  Seen plenty of motors pop with less though too

      Fair play on the 120k, sorry just live in nanny Aus.  High rpm on cruise would kill me too.    On the gears, its not just first, so beside the fact I really enjoy that nice punch you get when you accel in first. 2nd is all messed up in the gearsets too. Most people I know with gearsets(even sequentials) have to drop into 1st for tarmac rally slower corners as second gear is too low in rpm, its painful. Translate to the street, I am using a 2.3 gear out of a low speed turn, gearset you got a 1.7 second. I can tell you now between my two cars which one is a LOT more fun.    On a track its a different story, once the car is moving the gearset ratios are supreme, 1st gets you going on a big rpm launch, then 2nd is no issue for the corner speed on most tracks.    Yer the price sucks  , old enough to remember these selling for $1500usd here in Aus.

      Will mainly be steering the car as tracking it in China would reduce its value a lot and mines a near mint condition v spec 2. Just weighing out the options for the next improvement. Thanks

      Thanks for the info. With the 2.8L stroker kit what would be the best single turbo setup for around 700-750 drivable horsepower? As I think after that it’s going to be very aggressive power delivery.
