Recaro Seat for sale~~~
justinfox replied to Stephen22's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
The seats look "HOT". LOL pun intended. I know so many guys who have had these seats stolen from their Type-R's. A torch on one seat with a tool to take the seats off? This is scary! -
RB26 stronger internals/rebuild help PLEASE!
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Good stuff. Had a talk with my mechanic yesterday and talkinmg to my supplier too. I've decided to go ALL THE WAY!!! Whoo hoo. This is all going to cost between $15-20k. Insane but I will be using all Japanese products. Tomei everything. I'll let everyone know how it goes. I'll be sure to take pics along the way too. Thanks for all the advice. It's helped a lot. -

What kind of power will I achieve with these HKS 2530's? Any ideas? -
RB26 stronger internals/rebuild help PLEASE!
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
OK guys car when it was dead stock got only 180rwk's. Since then I have put on front pipes, dump pipes, exhaust and boost controller up to 0.95bar of boost. In all honesty I am very happy with the car this way. I love it on track, enough power for sure. Adding these manifolds + HKS 2530 turbos will gfive me how much more power? I really don;t know. Or have any idea at all here. I already have the turbos. Just waiting to chuck them on! But still deciding whether to just chuck them on or go the whole hog and do the rebuild with stronger internals. -
RB26 stronger internals/rebuild help PLEASE!
justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
GUYS I AM HAVING 2ND THOUGHTS: What I'm really trying to achieve here is not a massive boost drag car. I want a RELIABLE AND BULLETPROOF (as much as it can be) GT-R that will see the track every month and also be drivable (only a little lol) on the street. I am happy with the power as it is really, a little more would be great so surely these turbos I am fitting will make more power? (I really do not know what to expect guys!). Perhaps I'm better off spending the cash for the pistons/rods on a massive brake kit instead for what I want to achieve. The HKS 2530's + HKS Manifolds will surely, at 1bar of boost, give me a lot more power automatically and perhaps I will be happy with that? So I have a few questions: What do you guys think about: A) Just installing all I have bought. (sump baffle plate, 2530's, manifolds, head gasket, injectors, fuel pump, power FC) and tuning the power FC and leaving it on 1bar of boost and running on stock internals B) Going all the way with conrods, pistons, bolts, port polish, machining etc. And also, with A) should I get some Tomei poncams + cam gears for more response? THANKS AGAIN for any help!!! -

PS: Carrillo looks good. Where can I find a stockist in Australia (Sydney prefferable) as all my contacts can only import Japanese goods. Thanks in advance! -

Oil temps sorted, turned out it was a stuffed up oil temp guage! How's that?!?!?!?! OK cheers for those brand names (non Jap) I will do some more research into them now. -

justinfox replied to justinfox's topic in Engines & Forced Induction
Cheers, yes I wanted to know about RODS and PISTONS that are not Jap. They seem so cheap, is this because they are not as good?! Arias, Billet etc? I have been told they are not as good as Tomei, but some of you may know better. I already have exhaust, Power FC is in the car. radiator is done, need new cooler I suppose and damn are my injectors too small? Not on the car yet so may sell them still. -
I have the HKS Atessa controller on my R32 GT-R. It's fun to play with it on track. I can adjust it as I am driving so when my tyres start to go I tend to make the car rear wheels drive so I don't get so much understeer!!! I have had the controller on max front torque on Eastern Creek and on corner exit at full throttle you can actually feel the front wheels pulling you out. It's a strange feeling though and the rear just doesn't slide out at all. I went to Wakefield for the first time in the rain. I had semi slicks on too and almost killed myself on the first corner out of pit lane. It was so damn slippery and scary I almost packed up and went home but I turned on the HKS controller to full front torque (full time 4WD) and wow, car felt AOK around the track. There were a few more GT-R's there and one guy came up to me and said "Damn how the hell were you cornering so fast?! I can't do that in my GT-R!" So there you go, it really works in the wet. I managed to do a 1.15 at Wakefield, first time and in the rain too. Car felt balanced and I even got to take home a trophy for the fastest GT-R of the day. I love the little thing. It's clumsy by design, doesn't look too hot but it works well.

Hi all, Some of you may already know that I have an oil leak on my RB26 (R32 GT-R). It's under the plenum somewhere that cannot be reached without pulling the engine out. I've decided to do a full rebuild whilst the engine is out. I am selling my Type-R daily driver next week in the trading post and will use the cash from this for the GT-R so I will have more than enough cash for this rebuild. I already have bought these parts to go on the car: HKS 2530's, HKS manifolds, Tomei head gasket, Nismo 555cc injectors, HKS fuel pump, Tomei sump baffle plate. Now I wanted to know what pistons, conrods, cam gears and camshafts to get. Above all I am after reliability and a bulletproof engine for track work. I'd appreciate advice on what brands of pistons/rods I should be buying. Are there alternatives to Japanese brands? (So far it seems like it's going to be Tomei products all the way). I will also be machining the head/block and also a port and polish. Thanks in advance for any help! (HELP!).
