Cubes

The police around the sturt area appear to be fairly good with the imports.. Not as nasty as the police up north or down south.

How much did you find one for?

hrmm yer.. I must admit when I was 18 and bought my VS V8 5speed I was often pulled over. One time I had the police search through the car and ask where my 'stash' was. He (the arsehole) opened the glovebox, slid his had in behind everything and pushed it out on to the floor. Soon I turned 19 and lost the P's, no more hassling. Well once I suppose , I was approached in a service station for running a stock wheel on the rear right of the car. The moto officer approched me and said it was illegal to run stock wheels on the back of my car, If i were to run stock wheels I had to have them on the front and the mags on the rear. I said erm.. I had a flat tyre and its my spare.. Look on the other side.. Its a mag wheel. lol silly man.

I quized regency a little while back regarding using my daily driver at Mallala. 1. big loud exhaust.. Its perfectly legal to drive around on the street with a silencer attached. 2. adjustable suspension is legal providing it is set to stock height. 3. The cross-over pipe, bov & associated piping, piping between the turbo and afm must not be modified at all. Only pipe work that is allowed to be modified is before the cross-over pipe that goes to the ic. You are allowed to fit a fmic providing it doesn't protrude lower than the bumper and you do not cut any of the body to make it fit.. i.e GTR style on a GTST 4. pod must be attached firmly and not be oiled, if oiled it MUST be in a box. Thats what I was 'told', we all know that what one person down at regency states may be a totally different story when the time it comes to be inspected. Especially if the bloke inspecting the car is one of those knobs that shout out pssshhhtt or turbo's suck as they walk down the road with a beer in one hand.

Be sure to take a very close note of how well they check out the motor that is sitting under the bonnet. It will no doubt come in handy at a later date. I've got the engine stand also. I have only just got all the gyprocking, flushing and sanding finished and we have moved back in. Everything is still a mess and slowly being unpacked.

Robo, 5700rpm... wow.. the hot side is killing the top end VE.

Thats what quench does. Swirls or creates turbulence that cools hot spots, mixes the charge better and also squeezes it towards the central spark plug. Quench is designed more so for low/mid range as it isn't as critical in the higher rpm's. But as we all know average power is where its at. If it wasn't why would we bother with the rb30det over the rb25det or even the rb20det.

I've got a dodgy sender that some times does this. Your description of how it reads zero then after a few minutes it reads normal again is similiar to what mine does. "Occasionally" Mine doesn't actually read 'zero' as reading zer has the red warning light come on. It reads around .5 which is a 1/4 away from the first line (2) but may look very close to zero. I thought it may have been the rb20det motor was a little buggered as it had done a shiet load of kays. The new motor also randomly does this. I've had mine tested on the dyno as it appears to do it when underbonnet temps get high. Perfect oil pressure. The std pressure senders are dodgy. Especially when their 12-13years old. Does any one know of an aftermarket 'performance' sender? I've heard of people who change their sender than 25,000km's later it buggers up again. It appears the replacement jobs are not of the same quality as the origionals and don't last as long.

Darren we paid $150 for our headgasket. Be sure to follow the manufactures install instructions. They make them to suit the RB26 (same as RB30) and also the R33 RB25DET with its VCT. The RB26 headgasket is a little more expensive than the RB25DET gasket. You can use the RB25DET gasket on the RB30DET with no drama's.

first thing i said once they began reving it was... Amazing..

Courtesy of Darren. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.p...77&page=1&pp=30 A good thread on aftermarket rods for the rb30.

Stock new pistons? Have you taken measurements for the comp ratio? The quench area is the flat part of the combustion chamber that is level with the rest of the head plane. I actually thought it was quite large for a 4valve head, there isn't really any room for more quench. The RB20DET head has almost zero quench area.

The R32 RB25DE VRS kit is around $275. It includes all top end gaskets consisting of inlet manifold gasket, plenum gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, rocker cover gaskets and valve stem seals. There may be more thats the most important one off the top of my head. If I was to buy JUST the valve stem seals from Nissan they wanted $330.. lol

That is exactly what Darren and myself did.

My take is that the cops are not blaming modified car owners. They are cracking down on certian groups of people that hang around a few select areas. ACA are idiots, state the facts unambiguously. Their story only made them look stupid by stating hoons this hoons that.. Oh look hoons shoot people. lol In reality there are gangs of lebs 'hooning' around with guns hanging out their windows. I think we all really know what the story was getting at. Leb's hanging around in groups need to be split up to prevent any more shootings. I say kick their arse, get them off our streets and in to buses or push bikes. I understand not all 'lebs' are dicks like illustated. The majority spoil it for the very small minority.

All the R32, R33 & R34 turbo's have ceramic exhaust wheels. R32 and Series 1 R33's run steel or what ever metal it is compressor wheels. The Series 2 R33 and R34's run the 'plastic' compressor wheel. VG30DET turbo's come in 3 Flavours. Old school VG30DET non-BB full steel (comp & exhaust). Old school VG30DET non-BB steel comp but ceramic exhaust. The new VG30DET that are sourced from the jap Leopard's & Cima's make 190kw at the flywheel. These are BB have steel comp wheels and ceramic exhaust wheels. On the RB20DET I would use the RB25 turbo over the VG30 turbo any day. The VG30 turbo has an ever so slightly smaller comp wheel but much larger exhaust a/r compared to the Rb25 turbo's. Obviously this is not what you want on a little 2ltr. The car will make much more average power with the Rb25 turbo. I've had a BB VG30DET turbo on my RB20DET, never again for the amount of extra lag and loss of mid range response. The RB25 turbo is a nice balance and have been known to make up to 190kw at the wheels on the rb20det's with 14psi or so. Not including the VG30DET turbo's, the R32 turbo's appear to be the toughest then the series 1 r33. R34 & Series 2 R33 turbo's appear to fail a little easier when pushed.

When cold mine sits on around 14v. Once warm it sits around 13.2 to 13.8 but generally smack on 13.5 during the day. 13.5v is apparently the best voltage for charging the battery.

I've always wondered why car manufactures don't include a warning buzzer when the car is running too hot or more so dangerously hot. Warning for cat convertors getting hot but not the engine.

Before joining up I did a little research. I chose Internode and have been with them for the last year. Excellent ISP, not a single complaint. Unlike TPG, Bigpond & E-Access that my oldies were connected to, they are now on Internode and strange enough the email problems, occasional web browsing speed problems and jerky Uni lecture streaming play backs have dissapeared. http://www.agile.com.au/data/connectivity.htm That being said at this very moment in time Cable still has the upper hand for downloading. Uploading is another story. ADSL has faster speeds for uploading.

Its not just the rb25de head.. You will need the whole lot. That will make it a 2.5ltr.

meh.. worrying over nothing. I have never heard of an Rb20det failure due to the inlet manifold design. Come to think of it.. RB20DET's hardly ever fail. If they do, generally its a spun bearing.

The R33 RB25DE N/A appears to be $1000. R32 RB25 'should' be slightly cheaper. When I priced my RB25DE head up I remember I could have had a complete long motor for $900. The beauty of the R32 RB25DE it simply is a bolt in, all plugs and wires match. The Injectors are even the same as the RB20DET.

block and head assembly is a long motor. Short motor is just the block.

http://www.rycofilters.com.au/index.php?pa...&vModel=Skyline I'm going to be checking out the size difference between the Z200 and Z387. I've previously ran a Z202 and currently running a Z200 which is much smaller.
