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 :

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:)

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • 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.
