I live in northern arizona and have dabled in all cars. I am curently driving a 1985 Mercedes 380se which is not an AMG but i badged it to look like one and put AMG 17" wheels also. but the reason for joining this forum is my next project. I am going to build an s13 with the stylings of jdm in mind. that meaning 2 piece 15" wheels with low pro tires but with some good meat on them still, lowered with stock bumpers and at most a lip kit, jdm s13 front end, and as simple and true jdm as possible on the outside. Underneth that mild skin though i am shooting for a 650-700 horsepower RB25DET 5 speed with kaaz 2way diff. pretty much tame streetable look outside, mean coked up Godzirra inside.
Let me know what you think.
First off, you used BCNR as your user name, but you're going to run a 25? BCNR is a GT-R designation which uses RB26DETT power. You could have just said...ECR13-SpecD. Oh, and Godzilla (name actually given to the BNR32 GT-R) would be pronounced Gohzirra in Japanese if that's what you were shooting for.
Here in Japan, most tuned and stock looking S13s usually run 16" to 18" wheels, so if you're going to go with "the stylings of JDM in mind," at least be accurate. Anymore, most guys are going for aero kits, GT wings, and the occasional wide body. Not to many "stock" looking cars out here any more.
Oh, and getting to that kind of power on a 25 isn't going to be cheap...or easy. Depending on which series RB25 you get, you're starting off with either 250-270hp. Achieving that much extra is going to be quite a large step.
But I'm just sayin...
