I think the fear is due to the cost involved in rebuilding a blown RB26.

mmmmmmmm My thoughts exactly! I'm really keen on going with the electric water pump. In two minds now. What do I do? Pay $325 for a new GTR water pump or a little over $200 for an electric water pump?

Well they said because its electric it is more prone to failing. For example if your electrics fail your motor gets no water. Direct quote "DO NOT TOUCH THEM!.”

Why would making 350 be an issue, didn't the HKS GTR with GT-SS make 415kw? (I understand that the HKS car had a lot more add on's)

I heard they are "no good" on RB26's by a workshop here in Melbourne. I was pretty keen on running an electric water pump as I have read that you would be able to gain as much as 15kw at the rears. Anyone use these pumps on RB26?

AHHAHAHAHAHH! that's a classic! :lol:

Are these the electric pumps?

This is a must for high revving RB26's! And DAMN this is so cheap! FREE BUMP

Yea! I heard good things about the OS gear sets. They are also at a good price around $4k delivered. How much are the pfitzer and PPG dog gear sets?

Thanks guys! I got a price on both water pumps: R32 GTR water pump $325 VL Turbo water pump $126 I might save myself any hassle and get the R32GTR pump. Massive price difference though!

Did a few searches but I didn't come up with any relevant info. I was just wondering if the VL turbo water pump is the same as the R32 RB26 water pump. Anyone know? Help in this matter will be greatly appreciated!

Asking for a friend here! Are HKS step 2 cams too big for this set up.

I think you will get hassles regardless. You are driving an import; cops love defecting imports. Well this question depends entirely on you. You have to ask yourself, could I be bothered changing everything back to standard if I get a defective vehicle notice. I personally believe if modifying your car is going to make you happy. GO FOR IT! You really shouldn't let circumstances (or circumstances that may arise) determine your life. However, having said that; I know some of you who are reading this probably thinking that I am a moron and that we should abide by laws set by governing bodies. But I firmly believe that all the EPA notices/ defecting modified cars is a load of hogwash considering this country along with the US are the only two nations not to sign the Kyoto protocol.(Referring to the argument that states modified vehicles do not meet emission standards.) This is my own personal view point and I totally understand if people argue against it.

Hi rickhead welcome to Melbourne! The guys are correct; this has been discussed many times before. But even if you used the search button I don't think you will get much regarding how bad a workshop is. I think due forum rules and most importantly due to legal reasons people are not allowed to post bad comments or experiences they have had. Regardless, I don't think people will disagree with me when I say; Take your car to Racepace. I don't know every workshop in Melbourne but I think you should save yourself from headaches and take it to Ben. Hope this helps you in some way!

You don't like pie? Not even apple pie?

OH! I so want one!

Aaahhhhhh there is a great Blitz high mount kit manage13 is selling on this forum.

That is a nice pic!

Thanks for the info R31Nismoid.

If anyone is interested here is a link to an Australian supplier of Garrett turbos. TO4Z is $2,300. http://www.tuneagent.com/public/content/Vi...gory.aspx?id=85

Hey people, check this out. http://www.wimp.com/cemetary/ Fake or not?

Hey R32-GTS, first of all congratulations on a great result! Just a few questions for those of you who know. Are the TO4Z capable of 700rwhp? What exhaust housing are you using for the turbo to be as responsive as a set of 2530's? Would you recommend this turbo for a car that is going to be used predominantly on the track? I'm sorry if I may have hijacked this thread, just curious since we were on the topic. Thanks in advance!
