I've got yellow bilsteins too (unsure what model number exactly) I upgraded to Teins so these are up for grabs.. Have been told they are adjustables too will sell for fairly cheap

In... pending 4wd dyno issue

Same tuner

Yeh the turbo decay makes sense I was pretty confused with the shim bit Definitely once in a blue moon thing... If that

Yeh its most for showing off every now n then rather than anything else lol

It does a metal head gasket and arp studs though

So my tuner was reluctant to setup antilag on my GTR when he first tuned as he has a few GTRs come back with popped shims. This is a stock block by the way. Has anyone else heard of similar issues?? I've got him to set it up now but I 'm not planning on planting my foot down and engaging at every set of lights. Just thought I'd ask if anyone else has come across this. P.S can some explain exactly what a shim is?

my tuner quoted me $8k to forge the motor when we were fixing the head it included labour (which was probably discounted as the motor was already out) and $2,000 odd for tomei oil pump and baffle could pretty easily bring it down to around the $7k mark if you shop around for parts and go for a cheap pump fairly reasonable I think $12k for bolts on should be plenty

Minto United is also stocking e85 now

just take 6 - 8 x 20L fuel tanks with you and do a fill up every 2 - 3 weeks

One more up at Dee Why and thats about it in Sydney

how much power was this with buddy

-7 garrets @ 21psi = 370rwkw surely thats a typo although its possible on e85

their shop looks a lot different now...

Mine sits at 82% like ss8

nice the Caltex at pendle hill near unigroup used to sit on e69-e70 but I havent used that in a few months United e85 from Blaxland and Rozelle sits at e82 in mine

do you know the date?

Yep agrees it depends on application and how it's treated. I do have a 2.8L stroker fund put aside but would prefer not to utilise it if not necessary. Mine is running well actually... Had a big cut in one if the piping.. Once that was replaced the boost and power was back to how it was before. Still keen to chuck it on another dyno though... Anyone know of any awd dyno days coming up in Sydney??

yes thats true all the cars I know off are street cars who ocassionally see the drag strip on a wednesday night even so, having 500kw 'last' on a stock motor is pretty impressive.

Hello so it is generally agreed on this forum that the power limit for a stock bottom end rb26 on 98 is around 350kw... now I know it all comes down to how its treated and tuned etc, but do we have any indication of the upper power limit of a stock bottom end rb26 on e85? mine seems to be making healthy power and is going strong my brother's is making 440kw on a stock motor and has been going strong for months know of a few other stock bottom end GTRs making the low 400kws mark on e85 The Mercury Motorsport GTR is making a whopping 600kw on a stock N1 block with this fuel so I ask you, what do we think the limit is.... this is more of a discussion rather than trying to figure out the exact number because it does heavily depend on treatment, tune, motor condition etc etc What do you think? Do you know of any other stock bottom rb monsters? or have you seen high power stock bottom ends rb26s with e85 fail at a certain power level?? Discuss

i was happy with the power but I think one of the turbos may have let go only getting 12psi last few days... this was more of a general wondering more than anything... i still havent actually decided to do it yet lol was trying to work out how much it will actually cost me and no this will not be stock internals lol the accountant in me keeps saying to stop blowing money on this and buy a house but then I sit in a big single with 500kw+ and I just cant help myself!

Hello Considering doing something financially stupid. I currently have a 3.5 inch on my twin setup. Was considering going big single and aiming for 550KW. Does anybody know if the 3.5 " exhaust will hold power back at those levels? Was doing a budget and wanted to see if I needed to put a $1000 provision in for a new 4 inch exhaust. Cheers

$350? come on... I want some extra dough for Vegas!

what does that translate too in terms of the car's behaviour?
