between 400-500 is my target. When I get back ill have about 65,000 to work with.

 

lol with 65 gs i'd put a huge down payment on a house, i sure wouldn't spend it on a tc

 

wow 65gs...definitely get rid of the tc now and get a very nice new car when you get back. or like the previous poster said, put it towards a house

 

how long will you be gone anyways?

 

65k...i'd buy an R33 skyline with the 500hp RB setup (extra 10k from sticker) from motor-ex...if it was me

 

x2

 

I actually just saw they are comming out with a 2009 Nissan GT-R with 480 hp. So I think thats probably what im going to do

 

I think an 11 second car is feasible out of the tC. Of course, as a daily driver you'll want to turn the boost down. A custom turbo setup, a sleeved block, and some upgraded driveshafts are necessity for your goal. I think you can do it with about 20K. Just make sure to do your research before diving into it.

 

ur gonna need more than 65k...there supposed to start at 85k...but either way...a way better choice IMO

 

but the fact that they don't have stick version...

 

^^yeah, that kinda sucks too...i'm not a big fan of the paddle shifters...but a possible conversion can be done

 

g35 twin turbo ftw!

 

there are bolt on turbos that can give a tC 300+hp. Honestly that is plenty for most people.

 

I say you buy an S2K and get that greddy turbo kit. S2k is THEEE sexiest car in that price range. The greddy turbo kit is now CARB legal. o yeah you're not from CALi anyway...lol

 

Yea, a new Skyline is a great idea. Spend all your military money on a car you won't be able to afford to insure.


If you were smart, you'd keep the tC, buy some used crotch-rocket that will do a quarter mile in 10 seconds all day long, and put the rest into an IRA.

 

I agree, you worked hard for the money, invest it, have it work for you, a house is a good idea too. Cars are fun but they'll never pay back, use some of the money for fun and do something smart with the rest.

 

Choice #1 keep tC as a daily and buy new car with AWD and turbo powerplant. 65k on stock GTR or 35k on new evo and 30k on mods for new evo.

Choice #2 Get new pistons, rings, rods, head gasket for tC and hope for the best.

 

400 would be attainable, but not for that long. Maybe a season or two.

Good luck...moneybags!;)

 

you dont need a AWD on a car that was not made for it in the first place, the only thing awd offers is traction the easy way, fwd all you have to do is get the right tires, differential(lsd), ETD...etc anything that will make the car hook up and not burn tires all day....then spend some money on one of the stage 3 scionspeed turbo kits that burn 500hp Maserati's in the 1/4 mile i know they ran around 9 sec on drag radials, there is a video on you tube somewhere look for it

 

lol sounds like he wants a quadruple digit dyno queen
