My Stagea Rb27 On Cardomain.com

[CruiseLiner]

hey guys i got bored this mornin and decided considering i get asked stuff about my car, instead of telling everyone seprately i thought i'd make up a cardomain page on it showing the car from when i bought it stock rb25 form 18 months ago and then added the rb26 with info (seperate page) on the parts and tasks needed to complete it. then i go through the diff conversion to a gtr rear end and gtr brakes, and about my current engine build and all the other stuff ive done over that 18 months.

ive uploaded about 60 pics as well of everything.

my stagea

let me know what u think

cheers

sif guys, that cars weak. I ran him a the lights the other day and chopped him in my VK.

weeakkkk

jk, still love you brad, *hug*

[66yostagea]

How much?

[qikstagea]

How much?

wow that could be a touchy subject... would be curious about the answer though.

I'd say not everyone who plants a 26 into their stagea would go to this extent, though... JUN motor and all that.

Plan on leaving it look like a standard RSFour, Darrin? thats what i'd be doing...

[FLYSLY]

That is one hell of a write up, enjoyed every word i read.

I definately would not like to be your bank ballance thats for sure lol.

Although it would be interesting knowing what it ended up costing, lol.

[AlexCim]

he said before its ended up somewhere around the cost of a 260RS + 10k, so around the 40-50k mark I think.

[qikstagea]

I wouldve just bought a 260RS and put an RSfour kit on it...

If you bought it a couple of years ago, id say 260's would have been hideously expensive back then though?

Thats how it is, though. You buy a car, and you just keep adding to what youve got, and over a couple of years, it all adds up. Id hate to count up what ive spent on mine.

By the time its done, say 6mths, moneywise i could have bought a stock S1 rs260. Which is kindof disheartening... Havent even touched the engine!

[GoldZilla]

Nice write-up, Brad.

[AlexCim]

Brads had his stagea for about 2+ years now i am pretty sure.

Brad/SK/Jake32/Terminal/Brazen are all the old school boys. They were talking about stageas when i was buying mine!

LOL at 260RS with RS4 kit.... mmmmm!!!

[CruiseLiner]

thanks guys and alex that amount of 45k was before i did the engine build i might add, and ill just say the engine rebuild (not the rb26 just the rebuild of it) and supporting hardware is worth almost about the same as the initial car and rb26 conversion so its not cheap but u get what u pay for and every single part on that car is brand new and the engine parts were choosen by the owner of JUN in japan for a jun distributor workshop in perth (deal went wrong and i bought the parts off them) and it was garantueed to make 800rwhp with a t78 turbo and thats just on a reasonable tune, these engines with a t88 are made for over 1200-1300hp and 11000rpm+

GTR-700 gtr runs the jun 2.7l crank and jun gear and has ran a 8.273 @ 167.76 mph using VeilSide

GT-3542 (x2) turbos so they are even beating the os giken 3L gtr's

hoping for a low boost tune later this week if the shop isnt too busy and thats on about 18psi and around 450-500rwhp is the goal for a safe figure to save the fragile gtr gearbox.

i cant wait is all i can say

heres a list of the worlds fastest 4wd records at the drags on slicks...

1st HKS Japan Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 7.671 181.98 mph HKS GT3540R (x2)

2nd Avance Japan Nissan Skyline R32 GTR 8.119 171 mph MHI TD06-25G (x2)

3rd www.exvitermini.com Australia Nissan Skyline R33 GTR 8.273 167.76 mph VeilSide GT-3542 (x2)

so 3rd fastest in the world is a jun stroker

EDIT: that exvitermini site was Last updated: 26-July-2005 so its a year old but u get the idea none the less.
