Put it this Way.......

I own an R32 GTR......

I own a Version 6 STI.....

Sti chassis has 300,000km on it

Gtr has 70,000km & I can't remember when I last drove the land barge.

My suggestion to you is fit the power FC to the STI & run 1.5 - 1.6 bar through it. You will have 240-250 hp at the hubs.

Plus it will drive like a completely different car.

Don't worry about it having 175K km on it, my old motor had 260,000 km on it & was happily running 1.7 bar daily - it was pulled because I built a new donk (because I could, not because I needed to).

Plus when you work out how to drive the STI quickly in the twisties you will quickly forget the Skyline.

Happy to take you for a bat lap in my Version 6 anytime you want.

250hp in a GC is like 300+ in a land barge.

Buy short block 207.. Get some 272 cams, bolt that gt30 on, install that ppg box you built and the rest is all happy days
Version 6 has a 207, good cams & a VF28 that will run 1.7 bar plus all day.

Stock tune is Uber soft.

Fuck it.
Limiter. Side step first.
It will either break or smoke every other monkey on the road.....
Then take it down to rac and see what it does when your not just cruising around.


On a serious note. You dont drive along beechboro rd to/from work do you?

I see a grey V6 everyday.

Meh I can understand the appeal of RWD - owned 3 skylines and two jz powered rwd toyos...

Skids are fun.

Real skids, not the ones we pretend we can here on Perth WRX

I have same car. Spent money on coilovers and a heap of whiteline gear.
Goes great, handles like a rollercoaster. Only got 220hp ath without a tune.
Wouldn't mind feeling the 30hp difference Rossco if that offer is open to the curious.
Potential fun to be had kp. Have some faith.
If you build it, you will cum.
