i was thinking of an engine rebuild

- some new rods (preferably off a GTR)

- some new pistons (prefer not to go forged) hypereuretic? anyone know where i can find these?

- gtr cam shaft

- some new cam gears

- probably a powerfc

- might need a new headgasket i thinks

and last but not the least A BIG A.SS TURBO :flamed:

nothing wrong with it lol, just time to see wat kinda power i can make it produce, oh 7K is just my starting budget , so as i keep working and the money keeps rolling in, id say it'll be upwards of 10K, but id like not to spend more than 10 if possible

You'll need 7k for the motor alone.

And you dont want forgies why? If you want a "big ass turbo" your gonna need them.

I suggest you do a search mate. This has been covered in far more detail that the slight bit you have touched on in your first post.

5600... for the 'kit' add 2 grand for machining and assembling..

you aint got nufing left if your tryin to budget 7k... if your goin to budget.. do it reasonably maybe 15k will get you almost everything to suit the 'big ass turbo' or yes simply do all the bolt ons and get it running rich as **** so you dont risk leaning out the engine n melting pistons 6 and a few others...

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
