Also make sure there is nothing around the glowing area that can cook. IE hoses, wires. Might be worth while looking at some heat control like wrapping or some coating. But yeah nothing much to worry about event stock XR6 Turbos glow after a good thrashing. Yeah it does look great at night and on photos.

The price works out to be about $2200 landed to your door step for the kit. So it is good value. From what I have read they should drop straight in. For now I am chasing around 550hp at the wheels and my cut of is set to 9200rpm. I had a long chat with my local head tech. For my purpose he said to use about 270 duration and no more than 10mm lift. That way the engine will breath very well, still idle and perform well at lower revs and i dont need to spend money on the head. Just a general cleanup is all that needed. Any more lift and you need to start looking a major headwork.

Hi all I am looking at buying a JUN cmashaft kit which comes with heavy duty valve springs and titanium retainers. I am leaning towards the 272/9.7mm on both sides. Does any one know much about these kits? They are listed as a "JUN Stage 2R Camshaft Kit" on a few of the online shops. The reason I looked at them is because the duration and lift is ideal for the power I am chasing and it seems to be good value to. I know JUN in general are top notch with there gear. But any reviews or "I heard from a friend" would be great. Thank you.

I agree entirely. I live in perth WA. I have to say that for now we are lucky as Police seem somewhat relaxed about the car scene. But when it comes to zero tolerance, it never works. I used to live in Russia which was built on xero tolerance mentality for decades. We are only now learning that zero tolerance from the law is met by zero tolerance and respect from the public. Why cant you have a system where if you get a speeding fine, you can get those points back by doing advanced driver training coarses. Yes repeat offenders should get harsher treatment and drunk and drugged driving has no excuse. Also if I get a $150 fine, It bothers me but I will still be able to pay my bills. That same $150 fine for my little brother is a weeks rent. My boss is on $300 000 a year he will most likely not know if some one is taking $150 from his wallet. Doesn't seem fair does it.

i wish i had too much money. I have enough for this one last project.

hell yeah. i know what i am doing for my next party trick he he. putting my hks ssq back on. COol oh wait i have a cat, damn it. Shame about the fine. lucky you dont live in the city. i dont know about anywhere else but in perth, something like that will grant them ability to pull your car of the road for a month.

I do own a mines car, LOL it was a test bed for them. They left all the suspension work in it and the roll cage. plus the clutch. the body has all the extra re-inforcing to. As for hp over drivability. The fastest GTR's around tsukuba this year were all around 800bhp with one being 1020bhp. AS i wrote earlier, I am after the biggest power band possible. I am leaning towards the rb28 as it seems to be good balance between revs and cubes. As for head work costs, the saving i make on the rb28 stage 3 will coveer the extra work needed to rev it. But thanks for bringing it up. realy, thank you. Plus I am notr after winning races I am after a final project. Shit load of fun. I used to have a 600hp xr6t and all i did was dream about an 800hp gtr. SO now i have a chance, I am getting it.

From my high school days i remember the original argument about ethanol fuels. Ethanol is very corosive but it is not in the engine long enough or in high enough concentration to cause any damage. As for economy and rivability, ethan ol is less dence than petrol so in theory the economy should not change but its ability to supressdetonation is awsome. I cant wait to get it in wa. Some of the local workshops get it imported and they say it beats alot of the 110+ octane race fuels on turbo engines. From all i can see, there is no reason not to use it. To me its spells an extra 10% of power and torque and a healthier engine. all for the cost of one retune and cheeper fuel. love it

you know in all of this i didi not think of that, ill have to have a look. Yes the OSG does come all put together ready to go. but the parts for the stage 3 kit cost about 15grand less than the OSG kit.

I realise the costs of all the support ssytems i will need to put in place and believe me i have talked to alot of poeple here and uk and japan about them. That part is not a huge problem. As for my purpose, Like i said this will be my last one. I want the broadest possible power band. I am changing to a 6 speed gearbox. I have heard of the OSG being "safe" for 1400hp and 10 000rpm but i have not heard of any one proving those figures true or false for that matter. I have seen the stage 3 kit to pull over 1200hp and over 11000rpm. and make great use of a twin hks 3240kit. As for maintanance, no matter what you get, if you drive it hard enough and dont look after it, it will break. Thanks for the info so far. Just for peoples interests, it looks like i will most likely go for a single turbo from ITS, they have shown simply amazing results in the US.

i see your point mr baron. as for the laws on the targa, it comes down to the class. I am not going to compete i just want to be in it as a driver. There are classes for all cars, a few years ago we had a 760hp porche 3.6l and it had a class. Looking at the japans gt races the 2.8l choise also came down to the amount of boost they were alowd to run on them. as for drag, the fastest cars eg rh9 dont use the 3l kit. but as a general rule, you do seem to be correct. i posted a similar link ona uk forum and people there seem to lean towards the HKS kit to.

i thought so to but than i was told that the rb30 is safe for aobut 9000rpm where the stage 3 HKS is ok at 12000rpm. is that true or is it a pipe dream? Take into account that all supporting hardware and software that matter will be top notch. best of everything. but like i said i cant build it twice. cant afford to.

I am at a loss here guys. any help will be most welcome. I won an r32 GTR this will be the last car ill get to build up so I am going all out. i want to use it for curcuit, hill climb and if all goes well go into the Targa west next year. I would like a reliable 800hp at the wheels and initialy looked at the OSG rb30 and whent as far as ordering one. Than I got a call from the supplier who asked if I would consider the HKS stage III 2.8l kit. His orgument was that it revs better, costs less (inc build and all of the bottom end) and can produce similar power to the rb30. I have been pushed and pulled either way for the past four months I just need some one to give me the cold hard facts. Its very hard to talk to supliers cause they'll push what they sell and i can not afford to make a mistake. Until I order the engine parts I can order anything else and I wont the car on the road by this time next year. Once again, any help will be most welcome.

thast cause ethanol fuels have similar properties to race fuel. somthing close to 112octane. There is a review on just that fuel on a mild mod r32 gtr after tune it gained about 20kw at all four wheels by advancing the ingition timing. too bad we cant get it in WA yet.

i had that on my r32 gtr. turned out that the engine ran too rich and ruined plugs 3, 4 and 5. changed plugs and all is well now.

Hi. I am trying to install the greddy profec b-spec II EBC on my r32 gtr. Can any one help with some instructions please? Any help will be welcome. Thank you all in advance.
