XRATED

too much.

were is the car located?

Nice work on the ol-ye 31. My old (12 years ago) gts-x coupe was black over silver. Black cars rule! Put a bigger fuel pump in the tank and run a 100/150hp shot of gas.... just make shure you have a good exhaust and set of headers, otherwise the ehaust temps will get to high for sustained use. I love gas!

Thought so... Your 240's going to be much more fun than the s10, but it won't be as fast down the quater. It's hard to beat a v8 and a big auto for a quater run.

If the stock plenum fits use it. As the professionals have said, the stock manifold will easily do the job. Only change it for ease of installation/packaging. I recently bought a cheap ebay manifold. It was ok... I then spent 5 or 6 hours port matching it to a gasket, smoothing out the runners/transitions and removing all the nasty cast marks... then polished the outside. The flange was straight, the castings were thick where it needed to be and the holes were all in the right spots. It also had a vh45 tb pcd and adapter to the stock tb. It's going on a thrasher motor... otherwise I usually allways buy genuine jap parts.

threegle/thweegle?... ha ha ha

+1 for Jack and Boobies What's the plan Dirty Man? OHC Head with massive valves and a huge cam, monster single, big auto, slicks, methanol and wheelie bars??? ooooo yeah!

I saw an awsome s10 at moroso a couple of weeks ago. Very neat with a set of slicks and a quiet, turbocharged small block... ran 9's all day and pulled wheelies to the 60ft mark! what did you have in the s10? Is the 25 auto? My numbers were made with a manual trans.

The cooler had 2" inlet and outlet too... It was a marked improvement over the 2.5" into 3" pipe work and huge cooler that had been on there. I downsided to try and pick up some transition time and also to allow more air to flow to the radiator. 280rwkw is a good number for a 25... With the right turbo choice, it should still be nice and responsive. Try a precision turbo 5557 with the billet comp wheel and t04e comp housing.

John, where in the states are you? I've run 2" from turbo to cooler to throttle body with great sucess in the past... the little rb20 was running around 380bhp. The smaller cooler pipe work helped reduced the transition time from off boost to on boost. J.

Yeah you could. (Machine work in the states is alot cheaper than in Aus.... and if he drives a 240sx, he's american) Ha ha ha ha ha ahh a.... it was shot in a sound studio in Navada. Apparently in the movie you can see the light from a door being opened off stage.

I hope so! I'll provide plenty of feedback and testing back to back with an origional N1 pump, when I get my "shanef" gear set installed. I have the perfect rb25 in a 32 test bed... and a 26 crank-rods-piston set waiting to go in when/if it blows.

I know there are 2 or 3 workshops on the west coast of florida that can re-calibrate your stock rb20 ecu to suit more airflow, larger injectors, larger MAF etc. I'm shure there will be a workshop around NJ that can do a similar thing. Correctly re-calibrating your rb20 ecu will yield far better results than an add on fuel controller... not to mention a tune will lift the 180km/h speed limmiter, boost cut and lowish rev limmit. If you can't find a workshop in the US that will re-calibrate your ecu, then send it to an experienced tuning shop in Aus, like Sam aka Dr Drift. They can lay down a non spesific tune to suit your mods, then use your fuel controller to fine tune your car on a dyno. Your going to need a Z32 AFM (MAF in american) as your stock rb20 unit will run out of resolution around 210rwkw. I would also invest in a good fuel pressure regulator and guage. Other than that, you'll need a healthy engine, good set of plugs, good clutch and use the best oil you can afford. Be nice to your rb20 gearbox at over 240rwkw... AND DONT PUT A VENT TO ATMOSHERE BLOW OFF VALVE ON IT... you'll regret it.

5 years ago honda crunched the numbers on the then newish to the market Prius. The extra pollution created to manufacture the prius was only offset after 22 years of carefull driving as to compared to a base model civic. The civic was only .3 lt/100km in city driving more thirsty than the fkn prius. My vote is for super efficient turbo diesel medium side cars. One of the most fun little cars I ever drove was a new diesel pug, with an exhaust, cooler, intake and intercept module. It fkn hammered!! Tourque steer city at under 2k! The thing sounded awsome... and was still super efficient.

Dude... read the post. As I said " 5. who dosent love a stroker??? I bet most of the dirty thirty boys would have gone a stroker if the rotating assembley was cheaper!" If you could have a 2.8lt stroker set up for 2k would you consider it? "And who said they don't rev?" some of Aussie's best GTR/Skyline tuners for the last 15 years! 7500rpm wooooo.... my stock 15yo 400rwkw 26 was raced to 8.6K for 2 years (thats not special either)... but it's not the overall rpm, it's the way/how quickly it revs. I'm not going into the endless rb30 v's rb26 v's rb28 . FFS!

My vote is for the stroker crank... 1. the stock nissan crank is soo good that if you were going to get super serious with a 2.6 you've got enough cash to buy a brand name crank. 2. if you are going to go to the trouble of buying a crank... your probably going to look at a stroker anyway, especially if its simmilar money to a 2.6 counter crank. 3. if your replacing the crank, your most certainly going to buy rods and pistons. So you might as well get the similarly priced stroker crank, then buy the matching rods and overside pistons. 4. 2.8 is the best mix between a revvy 26 and a torqueeee 30... plus no new blocks, no cutting holes in bonnets and no fab/adapter plates. 5. who dosent love a stroker??? I bet most of the dirty thirty boys would have gone a stroker if the rotating assembley was cheaper! hey, but that's just my opinion? Cheers J.

+1 for the tough book! In the last 6 years, I've drowned it twice, dropped it in the bilge (i work on superyachts) a dozen times, tuned a 3000hp 4000 series MTU marine diesel with 47psi of boost, seen 16 yachts, it's been to 18 countries, 4 continants, saved my ass in 3 air ports, had me questioned once in germany(thought I looked suss with all the datalogging/satalite gear and a millitary toughbook), had 3 different OS's, 2 ram upgrades and downloaded over 300gig or prn... oh and tuned my GTR... ha ha ha must have flown off the seat 25 times! without a hicup!!! who needs a sissy mac!!! Hey Trent, how do the trust sumps stack up in your sump testing? Cheers J.

Ha ha ha... Believe it or not I've driven both those cars. The ferarri I drove in Monaco--- was cool, the sound in the tunnel was sweet, but eh. The lambo was fkn cool (boss' car, I had to drop him off and drive it back to the yacht in Miami) and fast man, awd was brilliant. Good choice bud, have fun in vegas. PS. The most fun exotic car I've ever driven was a modified tesla (electric)... instant torque/power and silent! You could fry the tyres waaaay to easily

NEVER EVER EVER USE TAPE OR SEALANT WITH JIC/DASH/HYDRALIC FITTINGS PEOPLE!!!

I use a trust/greddy set up with the in built thermostat. Helped to keep a highly stressed origional bottom end together. The thermostat was a must for me... Tassie is too damn cold most of the time, (great for making hp in turbo cars... not so good for warming oil to working temp). If your going to drive it on the street, get a thermostat... otherwise it's a real pain warming the car up for so long everytime you want to go for a drive.

Nismo belt FTW. Better than OEM quality and durability.

Hey guys, anyone want to part with they're rb25det gearbox? Looking for somthing in reasonable condition. PM me Cheers Justin

Dude.... I love my R3C! Switchlight clutch and a dog box.... mmm love it. Hell, my GF drives my car... J

396rwkw+ N20 at the track on 15yo stock bottom end. Raced (drag racing... mid 10's) and regular street driving for 2 years. Only reason it went bang was a bad batch of fuel and a 300m burnout... -5's... pft! easy. Just get it tuned properly!!! J. P.S. 5 years ago, there were atleast 3 stock bottomend (re-built with prepped, stock parts) cars regularly racing with more than 450rwkw. They lasted more than 25min ha ha ha ha ha haha ha haha!!!
