Scathing where do you drive that you manage to buckle a Volk rim!? I drive on worse roads than anywhere in Sydney here all the time lol.

would a Ford inline 6 fit?

ceffy owners usually like to think that they are pretty special put an RD28 in it ya carnt, THAT would be different lol

Wouldn't you have to agree then that a brand like Volk racing might present the best value for money then since you're giving a rough price of $US10k for HRE rims!? Having JDM 'looking' parts is like buying Ebay knock off intake plenums for example. Yeah it might function ok, but in the end it's still a counterfeit item with little to zero R&D, and the cachet of JDM parts of course There is also the advantage with a lightweight rim that you're reducing the unsprung weight of the car. To quote Wikipedia (yes lazy I know) "The amount of movement is inversely proportional to the weight - a lighter wheel which readily moves in response to road bumps will have more grip when tracking over an imperfect road. For this reason, lighter wheels are often sought for high-performance applications. In contrast, a heavier wheel which moves less will not absorb as much vibration; the irregularities of the road surface will transfer to the cabin through the geometry of the suspension and hence ride quality is deteriorated... High unsprung weight also exacerbates wheel control under hard acceleration or braking."

Do you have a Cummins sticker on your car? haha

I imagine if they catch on someone might produce a bolt on solution for the RB series, from results seen earlier in the thread there's a lot of untapped potential there especially with the HX35.

VN 5 litre, wagon or sedan, earlier models are fkn squishy in the back like your average import. Or a VT sedan, acres of legroom, and they don't have the 'rustic' feeling as much as the earlier commos.

R33 are teh VL Turbo of the Skyline world, not inherently bad, and have some good bits, but nothing special either. R32GTS-4 brah, halfway to a GT-R and by the sounds of it you must have driven some pretty shabby examples of R32s! (the cool factor is just an added bonus) Any R34 for 15k is likely to be a dodgy POS anyway, so Stagea maybe?

yeah my GQ RB30S dosen't rev harder, it revs LESS than a RB30E, but I am speculating that it's the jetting on the carby that might be the culprit there. Good engine, but heavy on fuel (15L/100). Dunno how you'd go trying to adapt a twin cam head without a custom manifold lol. Marc I think you are saying about carbies being less efficient at atomising the fuel? Pretty sure the R31House RB30S is a triple (Hitachi?) carburettor. There's a video on youtube of it, ironically the test driver reckons that while it is a 'man's car, it had a flat spot in higher RPM and was difficult to tune.

haha nothing like Vic Pol and a blatant cash grab I'd probably rage and cut it off if it happened to me tbqh, but then I probably wouldn't leave a fine outstanding for that long

nice write up, I assume that in the US they are a lot more common than here lol

lol its kind of like perpetual motion, i'm guessing he was american and yeah I know its not the WHOLE exhaust ,i was being a smart arse

My bad I should have said that it's not really a complete bolt on solution for an RB, compared to say a GT3076 interally gated.

LOL that would be fkn awesome with the riot sheilds! up to the first Ramirez mission on Veteran, tend to find in veteran that rushing the enemy and keeping a flow of gunfire onto your targets is the key

you can get 370rwkw out of a standard RB20 LOL

should get my best mate to have a go, hes an effing freak at FPS games ;p

haha well that didnt turn out ALL bad did it?! (with the exception of the death penalty lol)

vic pol seem to be the most centred on revenues rather than catching 'real' crime.

Well when you're getting down to the real nitty gritty, as I said I like to have JDM parts on my car, like the Ray's rims, they suit the stying of the car,and are a proven lightweight wheel that can withstand the rigours of any rack use; the HRE carbon wheels only come in two different styles, and as for the HRE and Dymag wheels, there is no information on the respective websites about relative prices delivered over here. AFAIK I was under the impression that TE37's were a forged magnesium rim (incedentally I'd only be worried about fires if there was someone with a blowtorch nearby, aren't nearly all magnesium rims made with some kind of an alloy these days?) If I wanted European cachet, wouldn't I fit say a Remus exhaust to my car instead of a Japanese brand?

3076 (port shrouded) + injectors? bearing in mind nothing's been said about reliabilty

RB_Ryan, I go by the tyre dealers in Mildura - the Goodyear where I go offers a limited selection of Enkei wheels, I highly doubt that that any will be selling anything from Ray's in the near future lol

I personally don't see the point of owning a JDM car (EVEN a non GT-R 32-34) and putting el cheapo parts on it when in its original usage it's unlikely to be molested in this way. You are partially right - I myself didn't buy an R32 GT-R because of the inevitable maintenence costs involved (ie rebuilding the motor LOL), but when it comes to bolt ons why skimp on quality? it's not going to be 6+k a pop like an RB26DETT motor. The other reason is the 1000 odd km I can rack up on a week when I'm working. I wouldn't like to subject a reletively rare car such as a GT-R to that sort of daily highway cruiser use, it's a waste. However with owning a GTS-4 like I do, the suspension and ATTESSA is common to the GT-R so it is a bit more high maintenence than a GTS-T. To me using el cheapo wheels is like using an el cheapo turbo (shamefully I have to admit mine is still fitted with a KKR due to financial constraints), it might do the job but not as efficiently (with wheels relating mainly to the rotating mass), and without the cachet pursuant to a well made JDM part.

here is my original dyno sheet as scanned - 18psi, standard FPR and injectors KKR 480 and LT10S, however when I tuned my EBC in at 18psi I found the injectors hitting max duty so not so sure on dyno sheet :S

fark i'd have to try n dig up the dyno sheet, but from memory it was 11:1

true about hiding in the building thing, its like doing the chernobyl mission in the first one and hiding in the ticket building picking off dudes who run behind instead of being the true l33t sniper you're meant to be and putting em down next to the captain!
