rb30gtr

Also waiting on data! Have a feeling I may have some before others This was a good start, g35-900 swap to a Turbosmart 6466, on a 2.5 stock bottom end

I was due to push go on the G series PRP single Kit for the Rb26 but Turbosmart popped out with their Turbo options that week, so I ordered the Turbosmart Turbo version from PRP with the Haltech and dual trigger system, went with the 6466 as Golby's put their video up on an rb25 and it looks the bee's. Q is, anyone up and running with a Turbosmart single yet? On a 26 or stroker?

expanded from corrosion..? Sorry its hard to see.

I second this notion. When my last 2.6 started to drop compression I turned up the boost... Thing ran for another 80,000kms till I sold it.

Legit on the 15th Marky? I might bring the rusty pos along for a squirt to Robbo

Easy to keep them stock looking, even air box and push upwards of 450kw's at the tyres.

The age of facebook being preference is surely dying. I find it a very hard place to take things seriously purely due to those reasons you mention. And I agree content quality is far better on SAU.

hahahaha, if only they didn't come factory with hoon bars. What ever would we do.

Keep an eye on the engine oil and coolant level just in case it is head-gasket, although thinking niZmO-Man is on point, turbo off time.

Too soon man

hahaha this whole thread is great.

Most certainly, getting rarer...and more expensive to buy

My current 2-3 year running cost = Zero other than basic normal and expected maintenance.. 'cough' it did need a new head but that was from the previous owners lack of maintenance and no changing the timing belt policy..ever... R32 GTR in stock or stockish form is the most reliable of the whole fleet!

Nice, I'll be following this one! What turbo combo are you going for? Oh and what are your plans with the p/s reservoir?

It's actually easier to take the lines off otherwise you end up bending them around and if they are old/original like mine were they may be brittle, there are good videos/threads on removing the turbos available. It's a bit of a ball ache but can be done. I ended up putting braided lines back on mine, but regret heavily not doing exhaust manifolds and dump pipes. So if you are getting elbow deep into GTR turbo's I'd suggest going in with a plan and parts. All gaskets, new turbo's, exhaust manifolds with studs and metal gaskets, braided line kit or new lines, dump pipes of good quality and new oil drain hoses. You could get all the mech parts second hand as most people just go single turbo so there are heaps of Turbo/dump/manifolds available with low mileage to save cash.

Any chance you ran a 98 tune also?

Very similar, they are Mamba turbos. So non bb cartridges wich would be the only real downside other than the size for the 2.6. Be interesting to see them on a 3.0+

Engine - Stock Rb26 Bottom end Head - Tomeii type b poncams & tomeii adjustable cam gears. Brian Crower springs, supertec valves and guides Turbo's - Twin factory mounted TD05-18g's, billet wheels with billet actuators Brain - Nistune, turbosmart eboost street Exhaust - Stock ex manifolds and dumps, Nismo front pipes then high-flow cat to 3.5 inch exhaust straight through to cannon Fuel and supply - 98 PULP, 1170 xspurt injectors, nismo fpr, 450lt/hr pump Intake/Cold side - Nismo AFM's, stock everything else stock including airbox, intercooler, blow off valves, piping and inlet mani 352kw's at the tyres on 19psi. Quite laggy but not as bad as expected, full boost hits just under 5k, 5 degrees adv on inlet cam, 2 on exhaust picked up heaps of mid-range. Very happy with the result, Mark from MRC worked his magic again, I was very nervous about those turbos, the stock airbox and exhaust manis/dumps but all and all it's great! I'll post a graph up shortly.

Reverse economics V's Australian utilities (roads, power etc) ? Or will prices creep back up until they are 3 times now that it's privatised?

Yep, my GTR this year in NSW was just under $500 which is a third of what I have paid for the last 15+ years. Is it aged based or have they just stopped ripping people off?

hahaha. Nice. But does it predate Godzilla? Didn't he kill off the dinosaurs? or was it a man in the sky

Tell me more..? Frakzz - If you want big twins in stock location, literally what ol Dosey says there might be a good starting point, Td05-18 or 20g's with billet wheels CHRA (yes thrust bearings) in a kit (including braided lines, gaskets and studs) for the same price as second hand -5's?

What did I miss? haha

Or.. Swap me the V-spec and I'll keep it bone stock
