Might get into the 12's before you yet!!! ;)

:)

With the power you're making she should be real quick mate! Not a lot of weight too.

I'm guessing you won't be getting into the 12's before me, 'cause you'll skip right past 12's & into the 11's :D

If I may add my two cents...

I was the Skyline owner who looked at Rob's Series 5, bad timing and an unhelpful bank stopped me from buying Rob's car.

The Series 5 is an awsome car, IMHO it looks twnty times better then a R32, and five times better then a R33 (I own a R33....After I went in Robs car the R33 felt like a Commodore).

One day I will have one of these, they impressed me so much I'm even thinking of selling my Skyline, taking a bit of a loss and buying a Rx2 or Rx3..Save ****ing hard and getting a "off its head" Rx7 in a couple of years.

you shoul sell the engines rob if you can build 13b for 3800 with 400hp that get 500k (that is better than factory) to the tank

you should have you own rotor shop cause that if trucking awsome.. almost to the point of being unbelivable

if it is true what computer you running m8

very interested to know... it obviously isnt micro dribble

Mal said that he is going to go the 12 sec pass in his cortina just to upset you!! :uh-huh:

Real nice bloke you are! Pay your car (it's power level) a compliment about it running straight into the 11's & skipping 12's & you come back laughin' @ me. Well :) to you! :)

Bah! The Corty doesn't have the power to run a 12 :O J/K Either that or the blower belt will come flying off @ 1/2 track :O Tell him to hurry up & get that GT-R g/box fixed & run a 10.

My new goal is to keep getting higher & higher trap speeds (118-120mph) but keep in the low 13's :O You know start my own drag racing trend :burnout:

In my opinion I think you should stick with the 32, although it does depend on how you are financially.

I love the series 5 rx7 too and almost got one in place of my r32 skyline, but I decided that the race look of the 32 and afterburners was the way to go.

The series 5 looks better than ther series 4 coz the brake lights are round in the back like the series 6.

If you decide to go the rotary, like the skyline you can do just about anything to it. I also think the buzz of a rotary plus the spool of a turbo = mad sound.

The 32 looks a little more modern in my opinion, although they are both very fine cars, Good Luck with you decision buddy!

im with fatz i think ur fos.... 400hp at the fly and 500kms per tank LMAO u got a double sized tank?

3800 on an engine? and u reckon someone cant get that on an RB20? lol

give me about a couple of months and i'll have that done with some change left over.

well if i had that money to waste on it... which i dont cause im going to japan ;)

is the series 5 the one like in that drift avatar on here from Initial-D? yeah i dont mind that shape... but then again it looks kinda pox and like the female porsche 928s etc which are just ugly.

i'm a huge fan of the 32... not so much the 33... but i would definately stick to it... but u have ur heart set on the buzz box which is all good... good luck with it... u could always save up some cash and buy a real car like a GTR later on :)

rotories... str8line cars

GTRs... for when u want to get around a corner in one piece

Not that I'm a huge rotary fan myself but I disagree that rotaries are straight liners.

Don't forget the RX7's that won in the early/mid 90's 24hr Bathurst showroom show downs! BP Visco 5000 & Triple M sponsored series 6's that ended up giving us the RX7 SP.

lol, I think rotaries have proved themselves fast on the track in Aus as well..eg winning EC 12 hours, currently thrashing everything in improved production etc.

And GTRs only seem to be drag racing these days!

I reakon they're both great cars, and both capable of big HP. I would be concerned about how long a highly tuned rotary will last on the street though.

What is it with you people in melb?? You own a r32 and you think your the best?? Damn... More than happy to send you the number of my dyno tuner so you can ask him what my car runs like...

I have seen I think.. er one rb 20 making good power, mind you the owner has spent twice as much as I have and he still is yet to reach my power...

      R34 gtt rb25det neo timing belt kit

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So been ocd with timing mark but checked from few angle and seems both cam are on and crank is matching as well to the slot on sump and crank pully   i noticed crankshaft cover has been robbed as per attached pic. Any ideas why? Could my balancer or harmonic be on its way out? should I replace the cover? https://ibb.co/ZR1JFYRR

      By drifter17a · Posted

      So now doing the change and first time dealing with rb so little nervous giving engine power and potential for screwing it up When you align all marks and then remove crank bolt, timing move little I assume you can put the bolt back in once you have removed the pully to get timing to where you want?   here is pic of my both intake and exchust cam aligned, depending on angle you look they seem to be either aligned or a half tooth or so out. Any thoughts? Should you angle your face and look at each mark that way as if looking straight rather than from above as it can be misleading   <a href="https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/HfWrGR9b/IMG-4447.jpg" alt="IMG-4447" border="0"></a> <a href="https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q"><img src="https://i.ibb.co/JWBqWwr1/IMG-4445.jpg" alt="IMG-4445" border="0"></a>   https://ibb.co/ZpnhcvbF https://ibb.co/4wm2wn4q

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
