RE30's, bombed

yep, fronts are twin, rear is single.

*cough* i have a set of 33 calipers for sale.

i dont like people who derail trains between me and my car. it's sitting loaded on a train in adelaide waiting to head to perth... fortunately it got to adelaide BEFORE the derailment, so it's on the first train to leave hopefully on monday.. anything that arrived after is backed up big time.

this whole thread was around leaving the car on, OBVIOUSLY.

and believe me when i say they are minor, i know the owner of it.

there was a RB25 powered VS ute around perth a while ago.. the owner now has a VQ30 powered 32 4 door. apparently it was just a matter of swapping the front cross member over to a VL one, and a few other minor changes, and it was in. ps.. that purple/polished engine bay looks awesome brad

do you think if you turn the car off for 4 minutes, the oil is going to go stone cold and all vanish into the sump?

you cant fill out any transfer papers, they are vehicle registration transfer papers.. firstly, you cant transfer rego to someone who doesn't have a license in the given that state (ie, you dont have a victorian license, so you cant transfer vic rego into your name) secondly, the car isnt registered anyway. just get them to write a receipt stating they sold you the car for $xxx, and all you need to do is take that to the pits when you register it as proof of ownership.

actually the fans on RB's are clutched, they apparently stop moving at higher speeds. but yes, they are constantly spinning at idle

so what about cars with no oil around the pistons, and oil contaminated with fuel? maybe we should all leave our cas on 24/7 then... only 5% engine wear!

only popped one box in the leggy.. the second box is still going strong after 30+ launches and lots of tiptronic shifting... first one was obviously just a dud. had the leggy for over a year now, i wanted more power, and its not worth spending $3k just to convert it to manual, then stupid amounts to be the first person to upgrade turbo's, etc... might as well come back to something that is tried and proven, and i know skylines and RB's like the back of my hand. and yes kark, you'll be familiar with 31 tail lights. pits shouldn't be an issue.. as far as they are concerned, its a "stock" RB25, and has R33 brakes with bigger than 33 rotors on it, and upgraded suspension.. should pass easy.

brad's stagea would be the least driven stagea in australia i think. 5000km in 6 years i think...

so maybe i lied. Forged RB25DET Conversion Polished and ported head RB25 gearbox with short shift kit Tomei technical trax 2way diff FMIC and piping KKR480 Turbo (will likely get a GT3076R soonish) Koni adjustable sports suspension R33 4 pot front calipers with 325mm slotted rotors R33 2 pot rear calipers with 300mm slotted rotors Power FC + hand controller Shift light HKS super squeaky (coming off asap) PWR alloy radiator Twin bucket seats Sparco hyper fang II 17x9" all round 3" turbo back exhaust Z32 AFM 720cc nismo injectors 700hp fuel pump Gates timing belt

yep.. the only time we realised we hadn't plugged my mates thermo fans back in, was when we pulled into the macca's drive though, and it started to get hot. most fans will stop, or slow down when the car is moving.

why would keeping it running be better than turning it on and off? that is, unless you want to waste fuel, and wash all the oil off your cylinders.

the PFC will flash the engine light when it reads knock over a certain level.. so they may have pulled a bit of timing out, but you can also change the knock level the engine light flashes at too.. if you think its still pinging, they might have just bumped up that figure.. either way, speak to the workshop about it, they SHOULD help you..

they should dip to around 12 when on boost, and a bit higher off boost. this is the dyno sheet of the car i just bought.. it probably runs a bit too rich, but its safe..

i dont want a leaky 26/30 i'm sure i can wedge the 27 in the boot

better hurry up and upgrade to a GT35 then, i'll need the GT3076

must stay to the back though! i might even have more power than you for once, haha.

have them all rock up at your place brad.. your neighbour LOVES stagea's doesnt he? wonder if i'm still welcome to be the honorary non-stagea driving attendee for the 3rd time.. in a nissan this time though!

nissans are still shit, i only bought one so i can get free upgrades when you want more power. it should be here about the day you leave, lol

take it back to the workshop who tuned it, and tell them you think it might be pinging, and would like to know what the AFR's are like

so i bought another skyline.. it's an R31 Passage GT, pretty stock...
