No Crust Racing

I sold brand new parts after changing directions too, lost nothing. I would think 6boost or Sinco would have a manifold option for you, 6boost would certainly make something for you. In the real world, twin scroll and GTX might gain you 300-800rpm of response, it sounds like stuff all but in an RB20 it will definitely help. Is it worth the cost? Your call. Maybe try and line up a ride in one that's setup that way.

Should be a tidy little rig. Could I possibly encourage you to go something better than Kinugawa... RB20 needs all the help it can get with response. A Twin Scroll GTX would do nicely without breaking the bank.

Nice, it will look great when it's done. Plans for the engine?

Looks decent, still sad you didn't go for it while it was all setup and reay to go. Now you are a pro come do mine thanks.

Club rego... ahh that would be nice but I don't think I'll manage to get a RWC now lol I thought there were a few pics in this thread actually? Showing the cut piecem reinforcing etc. I know there were pics of the V1 on NS that was MDF. Read on from here, click the arrow top right, not the title link. It's not aluminium though it's alumalite, the stuff sign builders use so drop by any sign builder locally and grab one, get the 4mm sheet though, I got 3mm accidentally and it flexes a little too much, hence the bracing. I've seen full aluminium and it was heavy as and still flexed. This is fairly light, quite forgiving, but is an aluminium skin over a composite centre. The edges are just as they came off the jigsaw.

Similar but no, Nissan had quite a few reds through the models. This looks good. Why are you pulling it down if it was already resprayed? I like your wheels better than the RPFs

Is that Active Red? Looks damn close and brings back memories of my first 33. I will never own another red car lol

Also, I am not looking forward to trying to get my engine and all the shit into my bay either, this is stressing me out looking at the clearances lol

Your bank account must hate you lol

OK the last post made me realise I had kinda forgot about all this, quick update on the last 5-6mths. - Took a few months of and got house projects done while exploring employement options. - Got a new job, still in tech but not fully, wide mix of stuff in the PD. - Bought an FG XR6 as the LandCruiser was too thirsty as a daily lack of safety bothered me. - Kept that a few months while I decided what to do with work, sold that and the Landcruiser after starting the new job. Got a Prado as that ticks all the boxes between both the others, has a few mods. Had that for a couple weeks only. - Have been out exploring/learning the car and 4wd in general, has been good. - Got a chainsaw, 2 actually, cut and split a lot of wood, kind of enjoy it lol, Learned how to cut properly from a local group, learned how to sharpen chains etc, no loss of limbs yet. Built wood shed to accomodate, will build bigger one in spring. - Got a couple sheep, awesome mowers, but they escaped a handful of times. Did some fencing, escaped some more lol, got fencer coming this week for mad fencing work. - Lots of house projects, upgrading, replacing, maintenance etc, learning lots. Had all the girls birthdays/parties etc. - Life has been busy AF. So cars - Prado has deluxe winch bar, BP51 2" lift kit, recovery points, KO2s, dual batteries, onboard compressor and some additional plugs in the rear, good GB, snorkel, side steps, etc. Will get some more mods moving forward. Started with some LED high and low beam upgrades from Stedi, need to be aimed a little better I think and rotated to get a nice beam pattern. Also have panel filter on the way (dry), will do an airbox mod at the same time, exhaust priced (approx 2k for full system - coated extractors, twin 2.5" into single 2.5" with high flow cats etc). Might also got a basic tune and that would be it for power/economy, car is petrol so a bit heavier on fuel than diesel. Made the call to stick with Petrol after reading all the issues with Diesels, sooooo much less hassle with maintenance/repair, caring about fuels/EGTs, noise, smell, etc. Petrol is much nicer to drive (I test drove Jeep, Pajero, Fortuner, Older/Newer Prado etc before settling on this). Beyond that, basic winch, stereo upgrade to modernise/add front camera/sensors, might get a basic roof basket/platform and I have my awning from the 80 to put on if I get there. Some pics of the beast and a few spots we've been exploring added below. Wanting to mod has made me keen to get back in to the Silvia so I spent some time in the shed recently "starting" to unpack and sort things, it's a brothel. Car has been started a handful of times and that's it =\ Trying to get motivated again.

That's about normal boost response for those size of turbos I thought? Especially when you have a half decent head. Remember manifold pressure does not equal lb/min of flow, it just means the turbos have pressurised the intake to that level. What's more important is rear wheel torque at 3900pm or wherever you're wanting to measure from. My head was stock, but I had cams and gears and it made about 20psi at 38-3900 rpm on it's way to 24-25psi, which it almost held to redline. As per my opther comments, the turbos were at their limit and being outflowed, just like yours (mine were newer spec -9s with the better centre cartridge). Traffic light grand prix is fun, just don't blow 3rd

Mate you're keen. Yep, still here. Was just getting engine bits organised today. Have been busy with new house and daily.

Wise.

Yeah a rub back and another coat won't hurt, especially if you're already set up to do it now. Never gonne come out like a pro on your first go, kudos for having a go.

And each setup does barely a tank of fuel before parked in the garage again...

Glad to hear you're enjoying it. Given it makes less power than mine did, and mine asn't fast, I would also avoid the motorsport section if you plan on trying to win anything. Remeber the types of builds people are doing these days, show and shine is a good choice for you. The thing to remember with GT-R sideways action i to not lift the throttle, you need to keep the power on to allow ATTESA to do the best it can to sort the issue. When you snap close the throttle in a panic, the power stops being deliverd to the front wheels and the car grips up and follows the direction you have the wheels pointed. Seen plenty of GT-R's spear off the track directly into the sand because people wind on too much lock trying to correct oversteer but don't pin the throttle. The other big GT-R issue is understeer, they're a bit heavy over the fronts, you will need to fix that with suspension setup or throttle control to bring the rear around. We're ready for onboard and dyno vids now thanks.

What major issues are you running into painting it? dust? runs? Colour looks nice.

T88, 2.5k RPM powerband Wangan style.

We'll be flat out getting him to put fuel in it I reckon...

Because maybe twin 9280s for GTR festival?

Twin EFRs now?

I love the way it looked.... moving.

Ancient video is ancient...

Deets?

That might be a bit greedy A mate is much happier having sold his first 33 for a rougher more modified higher k's example, enjoying himself much more.
