Going from an exa to a 250+rwkw and only been driving for 2 years, look out people who live near the poo farm :Pimp2:

I would keep some $$ in reserve as its already had an engine sway so you cant say how many km's its done or what condition the engine is in as for 11k its very check with all that gear.

I would imagine it would have some sort of management assistance, obviously all the mods aren't listed and I wont know until it lands.

Wont ship out for a few weeks so will be here in around 2 months.

i am going to get everything looked over again and again, the beauty of doing business with work shops is that when you need a favor back its there :) Compliance and RWC etc. are all being taken care of.

I am going to be doing a few of those defensive driving courses, I honestly believe I am a good driver but i am not ****y and with the power this thing has I am going to make sure I know how to handle it.

As for the Km's no one will really ever know the true km's on the motor. The car has 134,xxx kms but the motor could have only 50,000 who knows..... A compression test and a general checkup will determine the kms i suppose.

A timing belt replacement sticker (or lack thereof) is often a good indication.

Yeh good point...

Just out of curiosity what is a RB25 conversion usually worth on an R32? 4-5k?

Alot of things they dont mention so we'll see how that goes when it comes.

RWC should be fine, being taken care of ;)

With the cam covers (or timing belt cover, what ever you call it) can it be swapped from the RB25 to the RB20? (so instead of having RB25 on my motor it will have RB20?)

Cheers,

Greg

Even with all the RB20 rocker covers. timing belt covers, the plenum will still be a dead giveaway that its an RB25:(

i just want it to say RB20 on the timing belt cover instead of the RB25, just so it looks like its semi the original motor.. if that makes sense.

I know the turbo is going to be a slight giveaway to the car being modded but i figure its 1 step closer to being stock.

Is it just me or do I have a GTR front bar minus the front lip?

In one of the photos there is something long and thin in the back seat, im hoping it is the lower lip, i think it is :P

Greg

OR am i wrong altogether and seeing things?

you'd think it would have an aftermarket ECU or soemthing running a much biger turb :P

Nice car Greg, i was looking at that for a mate. A little on the pricey side but you get what you pay for.

The car is the same as mine, stock ECU (alhtough mine is chipped with data logger) and was running other gear.

If you give Gary a call he'll give you all the info.

My DD is still running the Rb20 with that turbo set up and im pushing for 260rkw's and the turbo is rated at 435bhp.

im running low 11's with a very tired locker and has potential to run better so with the Rb25 your hsould post some good figures and get the desired power your looking for.

Good luck with the car

Cheers B

heheh congrats on the car, when I saw it come up it reminded me of my import :rofl:. Prestige were tops regarding my car, and you can all but expect a whole lot of surprises. Certainly I found a lot of interesting goodies that weren't listed :). I imported an RB26 powered gts-t 4 door, and it turned out to be a gts-4 ;).

ps. love to have a look see once it's imported :).

What I wanted to hear...

I will be sure to take it out to some meets up once it lands. Will be taking it down the strip to get some time slips too ;)

Wouldn't mind having a look at your 4 door GTR ;) lol

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
