R32 chassis w R34 front. height is shorter and lighter (roughly 330lbs) than R34.

Oh yeah I've seen the kit. They have the full kit for the R32 to convert all the panels to R34. The wagon is a Nissan Stagea that's AWD and has a RB25DET in it. Thats good enough for me. With a r34 front end swap it makes it sexy as fuck.

1. Put stock tires back on in the spring and install turbo kit that I already have.

2. Look to get new wheels with summer tires in the spring (17x8s with 235 or 17x9s with 245). Keep the winter tires on the stock wheels and sell the stock primacys. Then go e85 again for the summer and do the turbo next year.

I have finally been able to find some people who were running a turbo even with low boost on stock tires and they said they spend a lot of time spinning tires even in 3rd gear with the primacys.

Yep, sadly I think I will put the turbo on hold for another year. I wanted to do a FI with stock tires vs actual wider performance tires comparison but it doesn't seem like it will be a good idea. Time to edit my signature and wish it would warm up so I can get some damn corn juice in my car already.

@Tectoniic I would buy some new rubber and keep OEM wheels and do your turbo this year. 225/45R/17 R compound tires on stock wheels you will be fine

I guess you don't abosolutely have to wait. Theres still the sticky tires on stock wheels option.

The most you can really do safely on the stock tires seems to be 225. I would really like to go 235 or 245, partially for the look and partially for the better contact.

I would also like to keep the stock rims as my winter rims so in the future I can just jack the car up on my buddy's lift and swap the whole wheel/tire instead of having to take it to a shop

Taillights. The last 400 will go toward car payment.

You know what though? I vote we hand over the reigns of the Loyal Order to Go and Sheep anyway. At our best (worst?) late night, drunken', post fests we did not fill a thread 10% as fast as those two do in one day. We have been ousted by sheer volume. I will stick to my frequent yet strategic pinpoint methods and leave the carpet bombing up to them.

Yeah, RB25DET isn't bad... just feel a bit gutless. I've driven R32 GT-S w RB25DET and it was fun... but after driven R34 w RB26DETT, it's totally different car. lol

Yeah, Kinda want to do R324, if I ever own R32... but at the same time, I like how R32 looks to begin, I'm not sure I want to change anything.

R32 is a classic for me and has great racing heritage. It's the one that got the name Godzilla.

The Loyal Order... I think that come with some high reputation, most likely in a bad way.
