cool, i can get an lt12s for cheap as with a plug n play loom, if i can use the standard igniter and coils this will be great, i am on the coast and can i grab this guys number. so the fact that i have different cams (rb26 ones) in my rb20 doesn't mean i have to get the crazy ignition set up. Cheers, Jonno.

i would also take an lt12s with loom for rb20 and x6 ignition box (but the x6 boxes are $150 brand new from microtech) and the matching coils if possible, for cheap. cheers Jonno

yeah tell me about it i think he just wants me to give him more money, so what do you reckon use lt12s and x6 box to run my rb20 with rb26 cams, and not worry about the standard coils as they will be fine. or should i go in another direction???

i bought a worked engine and i have an a4 page of stuff done to it, not to keen on posting as i dont want to type it out, is there anything in particular that you want to know???. i have spoken to the tuner again and he said an lt12s with x6 box is fine but i should buy coils as the stardard coils are not the best way of going about it, im not sure about that there seems to be a lot of people running standard coils

i can get an lt12s for cheap but my dynotuner says i need the ltx12s to run my rb20 with gtr cams is this true????

i want to buy a Microtech ltx12s for rb20det if possible with looms n stuff, email [email protected] or phone 0415580440.

i would like injectors somewhere around 600cc for an rb20. cheers jonno.

gday i need an ecu that will run an rb20 with gtr cams. i have been told by protorque that microtech is the go. what do you guys think??? cheers jonno

i have recently purchased a haltech e6x and been chasing a harness for it, during my asking for a harness one online store replied "how will an e6x work with a r32?? it doesnt have enough ignition channels" is this true??? cheers jonno update i replied Says up to six in pdf file, but then in ignition configuration it say 1-4 direct spark, and waste spark 4,6,8 cylinders I have included the pdf, cheers for your help he said You'd have to run waste spark which isn't ideal for coil on plug setups does this mean i should not run it in my car????

so looks like i'll be going with the 3' out. now the 3" gt 4-bolt out is $110 more than the v-band 3" out. what i am asking is should i go v-band cauz its cheaper i have to get a dump pipe made any way, is v-band any good???

anyone???? just keen on knowing if there are any performance advantages to the different style ehaust housings. i have to get a dump pipe made anyway so i can get any out, just keen on knowing if one is better than the other. they cant be for just different applications and have the same flow can they, if so i will buy the cheapest one if there is no advantage. cheers, jonno

i would like to know if there is any advantage of getting a different sized exhaust out on the turbo exhaust housing. i mean not the a/r or flange size but the actual size of where the exhaust bolts on. i have a 4inch exhaust and wondering is there any advantage of getting a 3inch gt 4bolt out over the standard 2.5inch 4bolt out or any other housing options. cheers jonno

This is my record with Benji's RB20det engine using a TR43 turbo running 21psi made 242rwkws. This turbo is in very similar spec as a GT3076 52T in a .63 housing, 38mm externally gated. Smaller turbo, more power, using similar boost with better response on a less modified engine. i thought these turbos were only safe to 20psi what about a tr43i on my modded rb20 when will boost come on and hit full

Roy-What manifold are you running? = top mount with t3 flange. FATGTS-R-I dare say the tuner could of brought your boost in a lot earlier with a .63 hot side but the 30/40 compressor may of gone into surge?. = yeah it was is a race car so i'd say he wanted the power up in the high revs, me i want reponse and drivability for drift/street. so i want something capable of 220kw-250kw+ with t3 flange for me rb20. now that i have said that is it is easier to change the flange on the manifold then find a t3 flanged turbo. where can i find a td06 for pricing?? Cheers jonno

g'day i was just after some opinions on what turbo i should run. i have an rb20det with gtr cams, pocket ported head, race bearings, etc. the previous owner of the engine was running a GT30/40R with a .63 exhaust housing (238kw on 18psi, dyno sheet attached) and he said if you are using your car for more street use i recommend a disco patoto up to a GT30/71R with a .63 rear. i am pretty keen on the gt3071r with the 60mm turbine and t3 flange .63 rear as i have heard bad things about the 56.5mm turbine version. any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Jonno

asian auto spares seem happy to do these tests. BMI are another good place for engines. so these guys are good for engines anywhere else i should try near or on the gold coast (brisvagas, tweed etc) cauz if it gonna cost $5k to rebuild i am just gonna put another engine in for $1.6K-1.8K can anyone recommend some where to get rebuilt on the coast. cheers for any and all help, jonno

it was a few weeks outside of warranty so there is nothing i can do. they say the engine was fine when they sold it to me, but it wasn't. okay now that we know that rolin's are dodgy a-holes, should i get a nother second handy intalled or am i running the risk of the same thing again. any experiences would be great, on the gold coast so a good engine importer would be great would probably get them to install it if possible. cheers jonno only running on the engine:- pod, 3'zorst turb back, slighty larger highflow turbs, frount mount, foward facing plennum, bov.

spent 1200 on a second hand rb20 450 getting installed, took a while, had some outher unrelated car issues, finally got running but blowing smoke (cracked ring/ring landing), so called up rolins and apparentally i only get a 1 month warrenty so they told me to go shove it. it obviously had a cracked ring when i bought it, bloody dodgy rolins. now i need to get it fixed i have been quoted $2600 (or $5500 with pistons) by dereck at ad shine/asr motorsport on the gold coast. i need help. better mechanic would great preferably one would have been on to it enough to do a comp test on a second handy before installing it. and that price is ****, can anyone help, plz at wits end. jonno

fine under boost then take ya foot off the accellerator and a cloud comes out of the exhaust, not the turbo it got replaced 500km ago, any thoughts. i think it is rings. cheers jonno

failed o ring in rebuilt turbo, getting re-rebuilt for nothing as under warranty. jp

recently i got my 93 r32 gtst back from mechanics rebuilt turbo, 2nd hand engine (rb20det) and gearbox was installed. on my way home my blow off valve seized open via a metal shaving got in there amazingly. so this overfueled the car pretty bad as i did not realize what was wrong until the car started to splutter and would not get passed 4grand then it stalled and wouldn't start again. the inside of the exhaust was black and so were the plugs. so i got a new blow off valve and plugs, but is still blowing smoke on acceeleration and deceleration and it tends to blow more smoke when it is warm. i also have the cold start problem of engine shake and almost stalling. now after a highway run to clean out the excess carbon its still smoking and now has a rattle in the "exhaust" like there is something in there, cant hear it from under bonnet, can hear it from under the skirt. done bout 150-200km after replacing vavle and plugs and is stll blowing smoke but i didnt exactly run it hard on the highwat run. any help would be great, jonno

just purchased a new glove box for my r32 gtst and it has a spring on the back of it for "soft" open (pictured below) does anyone know how to connect this???? any help much appriciated, jonno.

the story goes i got a cheap r32 off a mate cauz he was gonna get locked up if he caught driving i again. the gear box was thrashed but he said it still did third gear burnouts but i need to replace the box. i am not gonna lie i am gonna give it a bit as i get my licence back in 4 weeks after a 27 month suspention i am keen as to burn some rubber. so i just want to know if anyone out there has had a simular problem of a weak box and if anyone has put the r33 box in the r32 and the results. any help on this would be great cheers, jonno

got a quote from nizzpro in ashmore on the gold coast for a 32 box is $550 and $800 fitted and for the 33 box 1600 over 2000 to fit. just wondering if the upgrade is worth it i am running around 250-300hp atw. cheers jonno

i have the 100w globes. my high beams are 130w globes. it does say on the warning that "only standard 60 or 55 watt uv-cut globes are suitable for use with polycarbonate headlamp lenses". does the skyline have polycarbonate lenses? dont care about people high beaming me just want to know if i can do it without damaging anything. what wattage headlights are people using out there??? is it safe to run something bigger than standard 55w and less then 100w, cheers jonno
