IMO when it comes to mine its been reliable and almost maintenance free when you ask about wear and tear iv spent hardly anything on it and its lasted me for a good 4 years. when i sell mine and able to afford it ill buy another one atm other financial straps are holding me back from keeping it otherwise i would , now when modifying them they arent cheap especially when you go all the way and do things properly but when its all said and done no car is .

my buck 0 five .

Probably the wrong section to post in mate :rofl:

I'm looking at a similar HP figure to you with my 32 GTR.

People will no doubt give you all sorts of different opinions on costs to achieve this figure, and will depend on what mods the car you buy already has but for me as a guide.

HKS2530's low mount turbos fit to factory manifold $3900

Sard 700cc Injectors fit factory fuel rail $700

Power FC to needed to run injectors $1000

Tune Power FC (Not install) $400

HKS Extension pipes, better flow from turbo than factory $600

With a full 3" system, and a half decent RB26 motor that will get the HP you require (300rwKWs) with good driveability.

Obviously theres more things to add on also like Fuel pump (insurance), Cams ( I Beleive mine has a set already?) and labour to fit if you cannot.

Fuel economy depends largely on right foot, but driven sensibly, with above mods should still see a 400km range, but realistically I would expect 250 - 300 used as a toy ;)

I didnt really use it as a daily driver but i did take it out on drives ect its preety good on petrol as its only a 2.6 litre on boost it tends to use a bit more but with the petrol prices rising i think youll find its preety even when it comes down to it. so far on top of the car iv spent just abit over 2000k on minor mods , not much at all considering the time iv had the car. i use to own a s14 and like s15 it isnt a bad car either but in standard form the gtr and 200 series are chalk and cheese , Its funny you mention the 200 when i bought mine i was fairly happy with it but a mate bought a Ex circuit 33 R and asked me to go with him for a wrap around the block , this thing had the works !!! i admit , but for the first time understood the potential of GTR . To get over the standard form on a GTR you would probably need to add another 2-4k on top. To add things like Intercooler ,ECU , Boost controller ,Afm ,Injectors,High Flow turbos as the ceramics arnt really boostable. My car is running 1 bar comfortably with cooler, boost control , air pods and exhaust if i added the rest of the bits it needed my car should technically get into the 12s maybe even 11s .When you compare prices your paying more for for a smaller motor with less goodies like 4WD. Then again the 200 is a newer car but as time moves on this car dropping in value and before you know it the car will be a glorified slivia then GTR will remain the legend its always been making history as it moves threw the ages. In then end of the day it about personal preference .When i made the move from 200 to GTR i saw bang for the buck.

thanks for all that yeah will be spending a bit over time but il need it as a daily driver for another yr, what do you guys reckon of big single or stay twin?? and to make 300kw i expected to pay more but how hard is it to make more later?? heard of guys spending (well to me) 50-100g on doin it up. no probs i should look for in a gtr mainly the now aging 32??

They are a great daily driver i chose not use mine because the more your on the road the more chances someone will jump out and bump you . As for problems nothing to dramatic , but depends on the car you buy some older year models may need more TLC than others it varies on the buy , mine only needs minor things like left air vent :P but its to be expected . You can spend what you want on mods but i rekon Nissan has a very tight package in standard form and mucking around with it only puts you in hi risk in damaging it and that goes with any car you buy .Manufacturers do things for a reason tamper with it it can go both ways its a gamble .

Have you had a look at the trust t517z's, I read an article in HPI where they installed these turbos on a stcok GT-R with a PFC + exhaust and made 340 rwkw @ 22psi with more power created from 3500 rpm and no more than a 15kw loss anywhere in the curve from standard!! i'm not sure about the cost, but as they aren't ball bearing and are pretty small i would imagine they would come in pretty cheap.

Also the stock injectors are capable of a total of 360 kw but this would be at 100% duty and not worth the risk but for the 250-300 kw you are talking about they should be alright either way 700cc is a bit over the top you could save some money there and put towards some 80 mm AFM's and a better fuel pump. Just my 2 cents :D

thanks for all your help, wanting atleast 250 but more later as im tryin to buy my first house around the same time so need a car thats not goin to cause too much hassle, and as they are 2 different cars. what does the gtr drive like with awd dissabled?? are parts a hassle to get from nissan?? my last car was a 180sx most parts were to easy and cheap but things like radiator had to come from japan and cost a fortune. any other info on what mods to do, experiances etc are all helpfull

Pop the fuse or flick the key to accessories whilst rolling (it will re-engage once you come to a stop again).

I might be getting old, but if I needed a daily driver with Absolute reliability, I'd get the 200. I've had both, (my 32 GTR ran 11 flat quarter) but just wasn't somethin to drive every day. If you had to do something to GTR it takes time and money, and when you have a quick one you simply cannot drive them when "it's not quite right".

An S15 200 will be a little less heartake I suppose, easier to insure etc, but thats all grown up sh*t!

Cheers.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
