Hey guys,

My mate has a budget, he is building a R32 GT-R at the moment, and it is going to be somewhat seriously braced,power/response.

Now, he has been offerd a RX-7 FC from japan, it lapped 1 minute flat around tsukuba circuit....

The R32 GTR has a fullhouse engine at the moment,but everything else isn't YET touched...

It is a straight trade for him at the moment...

Here are the pictures of the car :

**MANY MORE MODIFICATION ON CAR**

1 minute FLAT tsukuba circuit lap...

TOTAL GROSS : 1150Kg

It has heaps heaps heaps more mods... this car is unbelievly fast...

What would you do in this situation?

Im telling him to get this thing, its a monster...

how will the GT-R he is **planning** to build compare with this?

I reckon it will be trial and error for him and the GT-R to make it right....

it would have to cost him another 30k to build his GT-R like this.. but its a GT-R ?

Who knows.. his mind is extremely tied up at the moment, he had the whole GT-R thing planned up... this comes along and stuffs it all up.

Thanks

!!!!!!

What is your friend doing man.Get the rotor.

Are his plans for the gtr to race in a specific category.If not then go for the rx i recon.allot less hassels in seting up the car to race,and a 1min flat tskuba lapper is definently no slouch.

M2C......

i think hed have to spend a huge amount to build his gtr so that it can lap tsukuba in 1min reliably.

in this case id be taking the rx7, he could allways build another gtr later, but cars like that one, that have had every aspect of the car modified, almost never come available

Depends on what class racing he wants to get into. No point buying the car then realising he can't complete in the class he wants because of the mods.

But if it were me, I'd go the RX7. Easier to set up for different circuits with front wheels to steer, and rear wheel to get power to the ground.

What does he want to race in? Is he serious?

Because neither a 1min Rx7 nor a highly modded GTR will be able to race in *any* class in Australia :P

Just a winton race car mate.. and maybe a car club with lots of track days?

Also looking at doing some hillclimbs as its a ultimate response machine.

How much money has he got? GTR ultimately should be the quicker car if its completely gutted and well sorted, but sadly the things cost money, just to get the diffs, gearbox, clutch and suspenion setup he could be looking at another 12-15k then he has to suss out brakes and cooling.

Id be tempted to buy the RX7, and as quick as it sounds, consider that the HKS drift S15 did 59s so a light car with mid sized turbo will always be quick when sorted.

I will be going in the car next weekend, it is now in Australia under the 15 YEAR OLD RULE :love:

The car is an ultimate response machine , it has massive power output 20psi running that lap time believe it or not.. with some more tweaks and agressive tune id say it would have much much more power.

Hmm... ill see how it goes next weekend and update everyone :P

This has a twin plate carbon clutch and a straight cut gearbox :whackit:

Heh, i think he will do the trade lol...

Convince him to bring it to Winton mid July, SAU-Vic are rocking up to compete in teh WRX run Sprint, check out events in Vic section:)

Yeh, whats the date?

I think he will need to get the FCON V PRO removed and replace it with a MoTeC M4.

Whats the exact date, he might be lucky :fart:

Any other fast serious cars going from SAU?

The rx7 would be interesting....as long as he is ready for the regular rebuilds it is probably the way to go.

A gtr race car is a great thing, especially if you can take a heap of weight out of it.....but not cheap.

There is always some pretty quick cars at these days...but who really cares, just get out there and give it a go:)

Ultimate response machine...lol you seem to like that term:)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
