PM Blind Elk...did the same thing you are considering, champ bloke who wont lead you astray with BS if he doesnt know...unlike me, who will tell you RB25s suck....p0pl who have put an RB25 in an R32 are probably the same ppl that piss all over the seat of the public toilets...i hate those guys :P

Oi. I represent those remarks :P

carl, put a RB25DET in, it will almost beat hands down a modded RB20DET. My RB20DET punched a whopping 115 kW through all 4; the RB25DET, running aftermarket ECU and crap 95 octane (Oz octane) and 10psi pushed 180 out through all 4 wheels. I figure that's close to a stock GT-R, and beats the crap out of those 5 litre lumps of cast iron V8 push-rod crap that can't even push that off the flywheel.

Yeh yeh yeh...we know...But in my small galaxy the hot girls dont think they could ever be so lucky as to land a guy like me, thats the reason they ignore me...and the RB20 is god because i f i blow it up its $600 :D

Sounds like the planet where i live, but if my bottom end blows, its $100 :/

bottom end might be $100, but the adapter is $450 minimum.

mods to make it work on 4wd = another couple of hundred.

mods to the vvt head to make the vvt work = dollars.

oil restrictors to the head = small dollars

mods to engine mounts = more dollars.

new turbo due to 3L sucking your current turbo dry at idle = $1900 minimum.

to make use of this turbo and capacity, you'd want injectors, fuel pump and new tune = many more hundreds.

if you don't have the PFC already to run all this = $1000

New AFM to make use of all these goodies during the tune = $300 +

as much has I hate to say it, my rb30 dreaming days are over for the gts4.

I'm stuck with the ROYb20det.. :/

I've worked out I should be able to get to a REAL goal of about 200rwkw with about $4K and still have a drivable road car without TOO much extra lag.

I'll save my rb30 dreams for the future.. if I can be bothered.

so ROY - can I come back to the clan?

Im not sure really, you seem for too sensible to become a blibbering RB20 POWAH idiot :no:

WHne im back in Syd next, take my car for a spin...im betting it will convince you to spend the extra 6 months spreading the cost of the RB309 over a longer period. I love my cars...its ace...but if you want grunty mid it just doesnt do the job

where do i get another rb20 for 600 bucks i just bought the rb30 and was gonna do the goods but i dont want to spend that dosh as my engine is lossing oil presure and has a wine at 1200 rpm and sounds like its coming from the 1st cam bearing (help)

If you're in Melbourne, you bring a trailer and $600 round to my place - I still have the RB20 that I took out of the R32.

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
