Have you decided what route are you planning on taking to get the 700hp from the RB?
Also, what transmission work is planned?

Just curiosity as my GT-R runs that sort of power so I'll be interested to see which way you go with this.

Sounds like a top project though.....will keep track on this thread

is it going to be more expensive than buying the new upcoming GT-R next year estimated at 65-70k? nice project, cant wait to see the results. are you going to go the single turbo route to get that much power?

Actually the price quote the the shop gave wasnt as bad as i thought thats why i considered on doing this project. Yes im going to go with a single turbo kit with a stroked motor. Yes the rb26 is the skyline motor.

I hope ur super rich. You're pulling out a brand new motor still under warranty? I don't like the idea.

If your motor blew or something, but I really dont like the idea. Why not use a 240 or another car?

I supose a g35 w/ a rb26 is pretty sick though. GL with the project, let me know if you need a FSM.

OMG this project is already in motion. I can't wait to see progress pics. You should do the M45 headlight conversion while your at it. Or maybe you should be a sleeper until it's all tuned and ready for exterior mods. This car is gonna be sick either way!
