congratulations on your new purchase, ill see ya on the roads soon!

im saving up for the 30det to put in my 32 gts4.... the 25 can obviously pull the sorta power your looking for reliably but if you can come up with a 30det cheap enough why wouldnt you go that over a 25??? im craving the torque

Have you flow tested your plenums???

yea... ill do as much as i can... my budget isnt as big as id like it to be though. this is a great thread, cant wait to see the power figures

FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR OUUUUUUUUUUT!!! THATS A BIT OF DOLLARS.... not even including the turbo? geeez loise... i didnt think i was lookin at that much... my power goal is in the low 300kw at wheels braket

while we have this up on topic; i have a very basic idea on what the following terms mean, but for better understanding for others and myself; can someone please explain in detail what these mean: - Pinging - Retard - Rich/Lean CHEERS!

hmm... well i already have a jun copy plenum, wolf ecu etc.... so just curious. how much has the engine build alone cost you not including the other bits and peices like the ecu & plenum etc.

wholly crap 900hp on a 25???? wowawoowa! good effort... i feel sorry for your pockets though.......

get rid of the box... you wont notice a difference... open pod is easiest. I played around with heat shielding with my last skyline, for steet use its not really worth worrying about...

this is exciting for me!!! i just stuffed my rb20det... either warped head or the head gasket blew.... or what ever else could be the cause of my 3rd cylinder to be full of coolant. So im trying to decide to rebuild it to rb24 or get a 30det..... Cant wait to see the results!!!

Ok ive decided to go ahead and go the RB30det. I'm using the guide that can be found in cubes signiture.... I'm no engine builder so i can see myself hitting many walls when attempting to get this thing together.... It will be a long wait, but im sure the torque will be worth it!

Doing the labour myself would obviously be the cheapest option... but I have no idea on how to replace the head gasket and check for what ever else that may have gone wrong. I may aswell take the engine out and have a play with it, pull it apart and learn a thing or two. If i stuff anything up, its just as cheap to buy a second hand rb20det as it is to rebuild one. Looking at prices online... i think i could come up with a 30det just as cheap as buying a 25det... so why the heck not?

thanx mate, im also considering converting my RB20det into a Rb24det with the gtr rods.... Has anyone here done this? what sort of power can these engines pull????

Here is my plenum... I'm not sure what it is as the previous owner just said it was 'custom'. It's using the standard throttle body.... my head gasket just blew the other night... not sure if this is related to the damages as im still trying to grasp a better understanding on mechanics.

hey guys, Recently i bought myself a R32 GTS4 (RB20det) from QLD, Cairns. I live in Adelaide so i got it transported down here. I have family in both QLD and SA so im kind of back and forth, I should only be driving it in SA though. My plan was to keep it registered in QLD to avoid unnecissary defects in SA. I have 1 week left to transfer the car into my name before it needs to go through another RWC. It is a decently modified street car, which is now my weekend car. On my 6th time driving it, i encountered an engine problem, (I'm no expert and im trying to soak up as much information on mechanics as i can) from what people have told me, ive blown a head gasket. I had to drive the car home for a few reasons, which im sure caused further damages. (i suspect the car was making around the 220rwkw mark while it was running). I have been quoted around $1500 from 4 workshops to replace my head gasket and machine the 'corroded' heads as all workshops said would need doing. On top of that i dont know what else could be wrong. This price has sparked my head to wonder about other alternatives... My mind is sort of set on converting to a RB25det, RB30et or even a RB25/30det combo, as i like the extra power down low. I'll be using the same turbo from my last set up (GT25BB400R 0.64 turbine 0.7 compressor 400hp Garrett.) which was extremely laggy on the 20. I'm chasing power figures of around 270 - 300kw at wheels (i want this to be fairly conservative and safe power). My car runs a GTR gear box so it should be able to handle the power. Id love to hear from any 32 GTS4 owners with power figures around the 270 - 300kw range (or even more!), and hear what conversions, mods they have used. And off coarse im open to hear anyones advise.... My main questions: - What engine would you go with? - What has to be done regarding rego and rwc in QLD after an engine conversion? - Approx. price on a particular engine setup that you recommend? Thanks for your time... ~ MIKE

For sale is a JL Audio Subwoofer 13W1v2 (13.5") in a nice JL Audio box. This product can be found here: JL Audio Subwoofer 13W1v2 This product cost me $400 from JB hi-fi about 3 months ago. The sub has not yet been used other than the time i had it demo'd at JB hi-fi's. This is a great sounding sub that goes hard, just like any JL audio sub. Reason for sale: Just blew a head gasket in my RB20det and who knows what else. Need money desperately for repairs. PRICE: $250 ono (and definately worth the buck!)

anyone???

willing to send to SA?

as mentioned in title, after R32 side skirts to fit a GTS 2 door. I will travel anywhere in Adelaide to pick them up. If you have a pair inter state let me know and ill sus out the price including postige. Cheers!

im also interested if anyone has ordered from these guys.... $500 for a full vertex kit and free shipping??? smells fishy

spotted a blue 32 with white rims on anzac high way heading towards the city, it turned off to the right on morphet rd.... i was kinda hoping for a little drag cause i just got my car. Shortly up the road a blew a head gasket

still have the side skirts for sale??

Aslong as this works for GTS4 R32's (im under the impression it does) PUT ME DOWN FOR ONE!

seriously... its about an hour and 15 minutes drive up there on average (spoke to a few people that have done the drive a few times). That sounds like a good cruise and a great fun time!!! Who's keen???

wooah inspiring!!! i would love to do something like this one day but all mechanics involved id be in way over my head.... GREAT WORK!!!
