PM silva33 he MAY still have it, not 100% sure though.

Wait till after July, the price on 33/34 Skylines in VIC are going The price for a std 32 gtst may actually go up, not sure what will happen with modified 32's, all depends on how the Police enforce the new laws. Wonder how many P-platers are driving 32 GTRs :|

Thanks PS: Sorry to kind of hi-jack your thread Nick

What brand of oil are Group V's or 300V?Have you tested Fuchs GTO? (not sure if i spelt it correctly)

Thanks Snowy.I never said a sump is a must, just stated that it is good insurance. I always side on the side of caution, so if some consider my enhancements as overkill, well so be it .

Not hear buddy I have also done my research and act on various advise from various people, including those for interstate. If i just listened to my mechanic i would have never fitted the r34 hi-hlow, which was a great item and my current build would have a 800hp turbo running NOS Yes one can make the power on a standard engine, using a bigger turbo or running more boost, etc. Cams have been a well proven benifit, and even Ben wouldn't disagree.

Read what i am typing buddy............. It's NOT about the power, it's got to do with my applications and high reving.

I wouldn't think you would fit race bearing for power, but to accommodate/protect for extended periods of higher reving.At the end of the day, i would prefer an "overkill" setup, just for piece of mind.

Ben is very secretive about his builds, and fair enough, he has invested alot of his time and effort to sort out the common rb26 issues. So i'm not too sure he would give an honest answer, if one at all. But it's not too hard, or expensive, to fit a Tomei baffle or even make one of his own.

You "freely say" alot of things Ash; many of which alot of people disagree with

They say R33's are the new Vl's, i just bridged the gap a little closer.

Ahhhhhhhh.. Thanks for clearing that up.

I know what you are talking about, but that does not apply to the RB20 or RB25, good idea though.

I'm with you Jake: Standard R33 "M" body kit: But i would like to fit the 400R rear bar and D-wing (i have the D-wing, just need the 400R bar). Actually there is a rare front lip, that attaches to our front bars that i wouldn't mind getting as well. Similar to the S2 Nismo lip but for the S1 bar, i believe it was also a Nismo item.

But seriously...........................

No lag with that turbo on my new engine; it's actually the smallest recommended turbo. Ask Rob he knows what i am building.

Hey Nick, i'm building my motor: it's a little different but same principles apply. Basically doing what SK has listed in the thread you refered to. Fitting a H.E.(High Energy, circuit type) 8.5L baffled sump and an N1 oil pump. I am also using GTR race bearings (ACL, i think). The block has to be modified to fit, but the gtr's have groves in the middle of the bearing to improve lubrication to the crank (and possibly rods). Oil is the blood of your engine, the cost of the sump is cheap insurance and eliminates any possibilty of oil starvation. Good luck buddy, hope to see the beast back on the road soon.

Hey Bec, is the cruise following the usual route? If so, we could meet you along the way, as per the previous trips to Heathcote.

Come on guys, Nick and i want to blow up someone elses engine!!

Geez, you must have alot of spare time to spot that

R33 abflug kit I must have some bad tastes

How come Chris? Team SAU: Yourself, Snowy, Jack, Aaron, JFK, Brisby, Matt, Ferni(Andrew), Anthony, John, Ray, etc Come on guys, we'll have it in the bag!! I would like to do this but i have NO P.I. experience, would need to practice first and learn how my car handles/drives

Am i missing something, i can not see any GTR pods I think the bar looks pretty aweful, does not flow with the car at all.

Spoted it within 3 secs Pretty bad photoshop as well.
