We don't really need dribble threads like this.. The police have been 'smarter' for a long time. I'm happy they enforce speed limits otherwise people would speed in silly built up places more so - unable to brake in time and bang. closed.

Cool.. Its good to see your not carrying on like a pork chop about it any more. I wonder if I qualify for a slap? lol

Live down south they have been doing that for quite some time. Whats with the pic of your car cops pick on it or something?

Through defence health here. Cheaper than the others and fairly reasonable with what they cover. If your not in the defence force you need to have a partner or parents etc that were with defence health to qualify for cover.

Troy.... So you've ditched the std exhaust manifold to make the 364rwkw I presume?

The whole 5ltrs will be fine.

Still using the stock exhaust manifold, all port matched to the gaskets. Near its limits obviously. The airbox has a 4" inlet cut in to the bottom.

Good on ya Adrian.. Its really not all that hard but is a pain in the arse getting that inside banjo no matter how many times you do it. Its well worth the $$ to grab a braided line for it.

As bodgy as it may appear I had my 30 bottom end built up by City Dismantlers. They checked the motor out and then gave a solid quite. Didn't go over by $1. Less than 3 weeks later the motor was completed, strapped to a pallet wrapped up nicely. All up back then inc. all the usual line bore (crank), forged pistons, rod resize, block & rod crack test, forged pistons, grub screw & king bearings cost me 3.9k to also fit the head and drill/tap the upper tensioner position. Motors been good, always made good power and has done 100,000km's so far. The same things done to the motor from Miltons they wanted 6.5k :S Main reason I went with City's is the bloke who was in charge back then (Andrew) was able to answer any question I threw at him without hesitation. He had a history in speedway since a young kid and built many a few tough vlt's back in the day so he knew all the little tricks to perform with them. They had what looked like new machinery, workshop was clean and organised. Some of the places I checked out I wouldn't be suprised if they lost bits. :S Either way fixed price with no umm's or arr's, clean workshop, organised and the bloke was able to answer questions others were not able to won me over.

I've recently spoken with Lewis engines and quite happy with their knowledge and development with the RB. Fairly reasonably priced also. http://www.lewisengines.com.au/ - http://www.lewisengines.com.au/category9_1.htm Unsure why the rb26 rebuild is worth so much more than the rb25/30 rebuild.

Kellie, Regardless if he's still new there's was no need for that comment. Nene260RS has handled this well; there's no need to be so bitter. People like things simple. You live you learn you move on.

lmao.. footy's just as bad as soccer these days.. oh he bumped me. Suspended 2 games. As a social game soccer is more entertaining. Footy tends to get a tad boring.

I went fishing and AndrewJZX100 took the bait.

Its all good Mike. Adelaide I am. Keep an eye out for a stock black R32, near stock ride hight stock wheels with a little 3" tip poking out the rear with a exh. note not quite right. --- Going to single.. Additional cost of a nice exh manifold, ext. gate, new dump pipe and new inlet and IC piping. It would add up fairly quick. Definitely not worth the hassle for under under 360ish rwkw.

There must be some credit to using the twin route as Nissan would not have wasted countless $$ on doing so. My own experience with two similar sized setups the twins did make their peak boost 'slightly' later, came on smoother BUT had noticeably improved response when going from zero throttle to full throttle once over 4000rpm.

bah toyota smoiata. They spin bearings. http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&...earch&meta= lol.

Ahh yes 3cylinders. From what I've seen parallel twins tend to make their peak boost just that bit later than a similar sized big single. i.e GT30r .7a/r rear on an rb25 to a pair of GT2510's on a 26. Up in the higher rpm's where the lack of exhaust gas is not an issue it all comes down to the intertia/weight of the wheels ability to accelerate faster.

Ahh the Vipecs.. Recent dyno day Graham West was raving about them. Apparently quite a good ecu. He made mention ~1.6k for the plug in and 2.5k for the wire in that utilises the knock sensors.

Power delivery of twins is just that little bit more progressive. Response once up - response is going from zero throttle to all throttle on corner exit. Why.. The turbo's sit closer to the ports and good old inertia. Its simply easier to start spinning a smaller wheel than it is a larger one. At a higher rpm where there's no lack of exhaust gas throttle response on corner exit etc is improved as the turbo's are easier to start spinning/moving.. Mr Lith.. The reason supra guys go for big singles is its cheaper and easier to package than a pair of monster twins that are 450+rwkw capable. --- Up to 350-400rwkw a pair of twins is far easier.

Be sure to bring the soccer ball I haven't had a kick for a good 9 years!!

Still running std manifold. GT30r is a waste on a nice exh manifold and ext gate setup. Unless I were to go 380rwkw+ and a GT40+ I'll stick with int gate.

lol. Thats if I can source an actuator in time. I've been waiting on Bill for a good 4weeks odd now but nothing has came of it so I'll take a trip up to MTQ and start looking interstate. A Little O/T but Darren your 18psi actuator is it the small can or the large can? I've found a 19psi small can from MTQ which hopefully I can grab and then retune for in time. Other wise it will be the usual 17psi and only just 300rwkw.

Compression height is too high on the rb30 pistons so they will poke out the top of the block. RB30 bottom end is needed as what makes the additional displacement is the longer stroke and deck height to maintain a decent (better than rb26/25) rod to stroke ratio. 1.81:1 from memory which is near perfect. You'll have to do a little fiddling with lowering the motor etc otherwise it will foul the bonnet. The RB30 sits 38mm higher. BUT the difference is like night and day. Drive an rb20det then rb25det. Thats the increase in torque on top of the rb25det you see and the thing still rev's to 7k without issues. Much more than 7k u need rods, pistons, balancer and then its good for 8.5k providing the manifolds, turbo and cams are up to the airflow required for those rev's out of the 3ltr.
