Well I'm about to get a 90 gtr, and its completely stock, how can i make it into low 12's with 4 grand, can someone guide me through with parts to get and good sites to get them from. And is it even possible to get low 12's with 4 grand and not having parts break down easily?

I dont want the car just for track i just want it a low 12 second car for a driven car day to day but go to the tack 5 times a year. Would I have to focus on putting aftermarket clutch etc?

Again like i said before, if anyone could help that would awesome!

powerfc, exhaust and 1bar of boost will definetly get u into the low 12s, cam gears are not necessary.

a close friends car has only these 3 modifications (standard clutch still) and it has run a 12.3 with room for improvement. And that was a 33gtr, a 32 is lighter so should be easier to get a low 12.

so powerfc = 1000

exhaust =1500

tune = 600

around 3000 is enough money.

get the powerfc from the forum, any exhaust shop can do the exhaust, and the tune is your personal choice.

I forecast you blow a turbo before you run a 12, watch the ceramic little bastards, I was in a 32 on the weekend when one let go. Be very careful

Hi Flipmo,

What did it feel like/sound like when the turbine died?

Obviously do all the maintenece stuff first, timing belt (if you dont know the history of hte car), fluids etc...

And winding the turbos to 1bar is your choice, some turbos last some don't. I did over 40,000ks on my stock turbos on 1bar including half a dozen track days. and they were still fine.

Timing belt is most important.

Change all the fluids for nice new fresh stuff.

Get a compression/leak down test to make sure the engine is healthy (should of had this done before buying anyway)

Get it tuned/put on a dyno to make sure its running ok before giving it stick.

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
